After upgrading from 384.59 to 384.69 VDPAU no longer works. Both mpv and mplayer show a black screen instead of video while audio plays normally in the background. No errors present on the console.
VDPAU worked with the same mpv/mplayer/video files on 384.59 and 381.22.
Kubuntu 17.04, x86-64, GTX980.

I can add that the video files contain h264 High profile.
Thanks for reporting this. I filed internal bug 1980736.
It should be noted that cuda also fails to load in MPV, causing NVRM XID error 31.

I filed this before discovering the post here
I’ve seen that thread, but for me VDPAU works on 384.59. I didn’t try MPEG2 videos though as I don’t have ones. I’m mostly watching h264 videos.
Perhaps you might try the MPEG2 video and test commands linked in that thread?

We are able to repro and root cause this issue.
Looks like the problem is fixed in 384.90. Thanks.
