Which driver have you installed?
Me, nothing. Only defaults and automatics.

3.0.7?
It's old. The present version is 3.0.9.2.
It is the newest available in packman for 15.1
But there exists same problem in the latest vlc, as well.
CER> Or do you think I should report a bug?
Yes, you should do so, but 3.0.7 is too old for developpers. I've got no idea if they accept the bug report, or not.....

Good.

Perfect!
You are using AMD CPU! I feel nostalgic, because I belonged to a anti Wintel school for a long time. I was an OS/2 user with AMD CPU.
Yes, I had to upgrade the machine anyway, and I got tired of Intel bugs impacting performance.
Anyway.
As you might know, mplayer's vdpau device is derived from ffmpeg. It's same for kodi 18.x.
So, your problem is peculiar to vlc, I think.
BTW. It's midnight here in Japan, now.
Good night :-)
I'll investigate the vlc source code, tomorrow.
Thanks. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
