Hi

I can still confirm this issue with colors for vlc-1.0.1-2.19, in Milestone 6. And wmv files lag. Installed from http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/11.2/ repo.

I've been looking for a way to report this to videolan but I haven't found a channel yet. This is not the first time when there are issues with VLC. They can be almost anything from version to version.

This time, when finally I come up with working version, I taboo it. I can tell from experience that it's best solution for VLC, once it works, don't touch it.

Btw, haven´t you tried vlc in another distro? Whether it´s really upstream issue. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Best way for those packages: send a mail to the maintainer of the packages. Which would be me :)

I was not yet able to reproduce your error with the video you provided (running on 11.2).

In my 11.0 vlc-1.0.1-2.4 and 11.1, (can't get version right now) work fine. They are in real hardware but I've had them in vmware, too.

what I'd suggest you to do: rm -rf ~/.config/vlc rm -rf ~/.local/share/vlc

Same result.

The most apparent reason for this is a graphic module / filter misbehaving (did you play with the filter output modules?) Or maybe a glitch in the graphic driver exposed by the video output module.

Additionally, you can try to change the video output module in the vlc configuration. Maybe you have more luck with another module.

No luck with any of them. Some show nothing, some show just psychedelic effects. The ones which show the image have the same wrong colors. Vahis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Can you please:

zypper lr (to find the repo number for VideoLAN) zypper se -s -r <reponum> | grep -e "^[iv]"

Replace reponum with the number found in the first command to specify the VideoLAN repo only.

Thanks.zypper se -s -r 3 | grep -e "^[iv]"

Some more things you can test: Start nvidia-settings, select X Server / XVideo Settings and click Reset to hardware defaults. If this does not work, try to start vlc with --no-overlay option. If still no luck, try to fall back to X11 video output, and after that fall back to opengl (preferences / video output).

Do you mean the host or the vm? On host resetting does not change anything, they are as they are. I've never changed anything there. If vm, how's that done?

On guest, no matter what, the colors stay the same or no image at all. If no image, it's either no output at all or randomly colorized acreen: http://waxborg.servepics.com/testsite/snapshot.3.png On host, works fine, different output filters change somewhat though.
