[packman] SMPlayer OK, green screen on VLC

[Felix Miata]

Hans-Peter and Rob got me going some days ago with .ts files made from one of
the two FTA DVB sources I most often record, by changing in VLC preferences
video output from automatic to OpenGL GLX video output:

>From my other primary source, SMPlayer produces expected video, but VLC (either
OSS version or Packman version 2.2.6-8.1.x86_64) usually outputs only green,
sometimes green with a bunch of blotching as if source was inadequate. If I
change back from OpenGL GLX video output to automatic, then output is a constant
flashing back & forth between green screen & expected output.

is from running several seconds with OpenGL GLX video output set. I see no
occurrences of "fail" or "error". Is there anything in it explains what needs to
be changed, if there is some bug that needs fixing, or otherwise suggests a
solution? Googling green screen VLC with Linux seems to be a lost cause. :-(

>From the same problem source, I made a 33 second test recording (55MB) for this
thread. SM plays it normally. VLC won't play it at all:
