What happened?
On my Dell Precision 5570 laptop under Debian/unstable, with this vlc-avc1.mp4 video (22 KB):
$ vlc vlc-avc1.mp4
VLC media player 3.0.22-rc1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.22-rc1-0-g9e23cc7e00)
[000055dc590f6a80] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

[...]
and the video remains black (same issue with other videos recorded on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with Samsung's screen recording feature).
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so is provided by the intel-media-va-driver Debian package, but I get the same errors with the intel-media-va-driver-non-free package.
Information on the video provided by ffplay:
Stream #0:0[0x1](eng): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv, bt470bg/bt470bg/smpte170m, progressive), 1080x2316, 114 kb/s, 8.05 fps, 14.08 tbr, 1800k tbn (default)
What's the usage scenario when you are seeing the problem?
Playback
What impacted?
This affects VLC (no issues with ffmpeg-based players, such as ffplay and the playback in Firefox, where iHD_drv_video.so is not used).
Debug Information
Debian packages:
- intel-media-va-driver 25.4.2+dfsg1-1
- libva2 2.22.0-3
