Easy and _very_ specific. You selected vdpau output (i.e. have your GPU decode the videostream via vdpau), but your GPU does not support the encoding-profile ((only constant) bitrate, framerate, various codec details) that is used in your video. Your GPU/driver just implements some basic profiles of the codec.
Hm. Then I wonder why it worked before? It always worked, and I used it many times. I haven't changed anything on the hardware. But maybe a nvidia-update has forgotten about things it could manage before?
So use a different decoder, i.e. one without "vdpau". Not sure where that setting is found in vlc, probably either in simple view: Video -> Output "all" view: Video -> Output modules in the preferences.
... So I changed the Video -> Output setting in vlc from "automatic" to "OpenGL GLX Videoausgabe (XCB)" I've chosen this arbitrary because it sounded the nicest to me, but in fact I have no idea... :-) . With this setting it works. Still I wonder why it worked before with the "autmomatic" setting and now doesn't anymore... -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
