Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.1-5+b2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I got no video for h264 files (worked fine before). 
Other info: gnome3, intel graphics 4600.

Steps to reproduce bug on my PC: Playing an h264 sample file such as:

http://download.openbricks.org/sample/H264/big_buck_bunny_480p_H264_AAC_25fps_1800K_short.MP4

I get:

leo at asbesto:~$ vlc Scaricati/big_buck_bunny_480p_H264_AAC_25fps_1800K_short.MP4 
VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42)

[h264 @ 0x7f683cc5e100] hardware accelerator failed to decode picture

with the last line repeated over and over. I'm using the default config
and I have no problems with other codecs. I've skimmed the apt logs and 
saw vlc was upgraded a week ago (as well as ffmpeg).

I also checked the Debian BTS and found nothing relevant.

What's wrong?

Thanks, Leonardo
