[opensuse] VLC shows black screen on mp4 and mkv videos
Since the last update, VLC shows a black screen, when a mp4 or mkv are playing. A week ago everything was ok.

Rather post what you have actually installed: rpm -qa | grep -i vlc

To avoid wrap of the lines there are two things that you can do. One is attach this output in a text file to your post. Another is adding the "Toggle Word Wrap" addon to your Thunderbird. Finally, more useful is the output of "zypper lr --details", which includes the actual URLs of the repos. The names are arbitrary. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Well, they are the exact same versions as I have on my laptop, and mine works on the videos I tried. So your packages are correct.

Well, no issue that I can see with them. We have to look at something different. Maybe it is something specific with the videos you try to watch (mkv can hold many different type of videos). Maybe it is related to your video hardware, or your desktop. My laptop has plain Intel video, and my main computer has nvidia with proprietary driver. If the videos can be shared, we can try. You can also try with other video players. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

The same videos were seen a week ago in VLC with no problem. No other changes have been done in the computer, except a zypper update. Mplayer can play them pretty well, but I am used playing videos on VLC. Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, perhaps my videos are different from yours, mine work. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I have the same VLC version, but I have it from packman (also all other VLC related parts). I works perfect with all videos I have here, from the internet, from my mobile phone and from my cameras... Maybe you want to check if everything VLC is from the the packman repo. I've read that a mix of versions from other repos can lead to problems. -- 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

Worked after deleting any vlc package and reinstalling it again. Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
