http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060108 Bug ID: 1060108 Summary: VLC: MP4-Videos from mobile phone show black screen while sound plays (vdpau_avcodec error) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: linux@daniel-bauer.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 SeaMonkey/2.46 Build Identifier: *Some* mp4-videos from my mobile phone shows a black screen plus plays the sound, but no image, with vlc and kaffeine. As for my small tests it only affects the mp4 from my samsung mobile that are older than from June 12, 2017. Everything worked a few weeks ago with the same system, but meanwhile there were some updates and of course I have no idea which one changed that... VLC opens a window with progression bar and plays the sound, but now image (only black screen). When starting vlc from command line I get: vlc 20161005_085414.mp4 VLC media player 2.2.6 Umbrella (revision 2.2.6-0-g1aae78981c) [000055aac07500c8] core libvlc: VLC wird mit dem Standard-Interface ausgeführt.
