Do you mean the current code as in e.g. v4.2?
I'm passing it (the i.MX6 IMX DRM overlay) a 1024x768 buffer:

ipu_plane_mode_set pitches 1024 512 512 0 offsets 0 786432 983040 0

so the U and V planes closely follow Y, and it doesn't work. The screen
is green to magenta, sometimes there are diagonal stripes (color only,
Y is fine).

Also, e.g. mplayer shows a greenish output.

I've posted a short test program:

You will need to set xv_port = 0 (it will then use the first
YUV420-capable adapter, which on my system is IMX DRM overlay) and you
may want to stick "XSync(display, 0);" after the XvShmPutImage() call.

Also, you may change the "memset(image->data, count, image->data_size)"
into something smaller, e.g. to a subset of Y plane, leaving UV alone.
For example:
	memset(image->data, count % 0x100, 12345);
	memset(image->data + image->pitches[0] * h, 0, (image->pitches[1] + image->pitches[2]) * h / 2);

will set the first 12345 bytes of Y plane, while the U and V will be
zero.

Thanks for looking into this.
