Fritz,

The reason i get artifacts on pink (not purple) screen is because i'm running on OPI Plus 2 ( 2 GB RAM)!
It runs fine on OPI-PC and also runs fine with VDPAU 0.7 (H265 removed) on previous mplayer version.

If anyone could help finding the right ion memory config, please, be my guest!

@lex

Can you tell if you get sound output to hdmi while using mpv?
I have sndhdmi working but cannot get sound output (hdmi and pcm) with mpv or mplayer, alsa is working when tested, any suggestion?

@ @alex: have you looked at /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf ?
may be the default audio ouput is set to oss.

@lex (and others too), please report such libvdpau-sunxi issues at github. They usually can be fixed easily and everyone will be happy, but I don't want to dig through all the different *pi forums to find them.
