Re: Cannot play video on VLC [SOLVED]

Which desktop is this? I think VLC may have problems under Wayland: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1815568

I'm not brilliant with decoding stuff (where's Gusar?) but how's your VDPAU support?

vdpauinfo

And have you seen https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vl … tion_fault?

EDIT: are you using optirun to start VLC?

Well that would allow VAAPI to work with your Intel chip but wouldn't it be better to use the GPU?

Anyway, please mark the thread [SOLVED] if you consider it so.
