ffplay doesn't play video after using chromium

vyktor · 2014-12-10 20:59:34

Primarily my VLC stops playing movies after a while of using PC (and I think it stops working after first youtube video in chrome... I have chromium with gtalk and google talk plugin, stackoverflow.com and youtube opened... and the only one that seems to me to be related to video is youtube).

This is what I get trying to use ffplay:

VLC opens and runs audio but with no video.

In chromium, video runs just fine.

I think (I'm not sure) that first youtube video stops vlc/ffplay from working properly.

Further more, after setting video output to X11 instead of "Default" in VLC videos start playing again, but still no luck with ffplay.

Output device set to X11 works (although with some errors):

Mabey you try another output device? xv, gl, etc.

Maybe the problem is mp4.mp4 often makes problems..

Try Matroska

ffmpeg -fflags genpts -i "file.mp4" -acodec copy -vcodec copy "file.mkv"

I have few mkv files and the result is the same.

ffplay -vn works, with video I get Major opcode of failed request: 151 (XVideo)

I've added output from VLC to original post with output out of different VLCs --vouts...
