Green/gray video frames for several seconds after seeking in MPEG-TS files
Environment:
- Debian Trixie XFCE
- Parole 4.18.2
- Intel Haswell integrated graphics
Description:
When seeking forward or backward in MPEG-TS (.ts) files, the video area turns green (sometimes gray) for several seconds before normal playback resumes.
The issue is reproducible with multiple TS files.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a .ts file in Parole.
- Seek forward or backward using the seek bar.
- Observe the video output.
Expected result:
Video resumes normally immediately after seeking.
Actual result:
The video area becomes green or gray for a few seconds, then playback recovers automatically.
Additional observations:
- The issue is reproducible with several TS files.
- MPV on the same system does not exhibit this behavior with the same files.
- GStreamer appears to use VA-API decoding (vah264dec0 on Intel Haswell).
I do not know whether the issue is in Parole, GStreamer, the video sink, or the hardware-accelerated decode path.
