1.8 RC2 vaapi failure?

[Perry Hung]

I recently upgraded to try out the new release candidate and now my
VAAPI decode pipelines are failing.

It appears the decoder is failing to decode a frame and then bailing
forever? Did I get the pipeline elements wrong? It appears
vaapiparse_h264 has disappeared between 1.6.3 and 1.8.

I'm pushing H264 over RTP and receiving/decoding it using VAAPI/vdpau:

This receiver pipeline works:

gst-launch-1.0 -v -e udpsrc port=6001 buffer-size=212992 !
"application/x-rtp, payload=96" ! rtph264depay ! h264parse !
avdec_h264 ! xvimagesink

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
