Description:
After updating the ati-dri mesa-libgl and mesa packages to 10.2.0rc5-1 (in [testing]), there is no video in mpv even though there is audio output. Downgrading to the versions in [extra], i.e. to 10.1.4-1 causes this to be rectified. I tried compiling mpv-git with the new packages installed, but it did not work either.

Additional info:
I've included the console output in error.log and my mpv config file. If it helps, the output of lspci | grep -i VGA is:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430/5450/5470]

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade the mesa, mesa-libgl and ati-dri packages to the latest ones in testing and run mpv on any video with the given config.
This task depends upon

Can you fill a bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org and paste the link here ? thanks

Do you have the same error log with mesa-10.1.4 ?

Here is the link to the freedesktop bug - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79520

And no, I've never got that error before.

Quoting the second last comment from the bug report linked above:

"Ok that sounds like you updated the OpenGL packages, but not VDPAU right?

Well in this case the reason it doesn't work any more is that OpenGL advertises OpenGL/VDPAU interop, but the VDPAU driver actually isn't new enough end rejects the export request.

Try the --hwdec=no option on mpv."

This works perfectly. However, Hardware decoding does happen to be a very desirable feature. So would it be a good idea to wait for the libvdpau package to upgrade before I update from the version in [extra]?

Okay, it works perfectly after the latest upgrade to mesa et. al. 10.2.1. Thanks!
