Layout playback issue: video affects the background colour and other widgets in the Layout.

[DanielBW1]

Describe the bug
Attached to this message is a Layout that when scheduled to my Player (1.8 R5-50):

• Causes the clock widget to only partially appear. As the second hand ticks around, it reveals more of the Widget region.
• Changes the background colour to black, although it is set to white in the Layout. This has also been tested with just a video in the Layout, background colour will be black regardless of what has been set.
• Another version of the Layout also causes images to not appear. Note that in that Layout the image was in a separate region from the video and clock.
• Please note that replacing the video with a different Widget will resolve the issue.
• Please also note that periodically the Layout will appear correctly without the above issues, but only for a half second, before the issue returns.

To Reproduce
Schedule the attached Layout to see the issue. The Layout includes a video Widget and a clock Widget, background is set to white.

Expected behaviour
The Layout should appear as expected

Could be related to #203

Has someone reproduced this issue since snapd update? I suspected this issue to be related to that bug.

Hi Maxim. I have been retested this issue on my Ubuntu 18.04.5 machine. All updates installed and also snap refresh was run and updated successfully. Unfortunately I am seeing the same issue on 1.8 R6 code 108. Below is an attached image showing the behaviour.

@DanielBW1 Since we're using the same player/distro/layout version - the only thing I can suspect is a graphics driver. Could you tell me your graphics card/driver info if possible?

[DanielBW1]

This is the information from my Ubuntu install about the graphics and driver being used:

OK, so you're using VirtualBox. Do you have a chance to test it on your host OS?

Unfortunately I don't have a linux machine other than VMs at the moment.
