Why Are You Staying On Windows 11? in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[Resolved] After updating through both APT and the Software Store, I can't play mp4 videos with VLC anymore. The screen goes blank for a second or two then the audio starts playing without the video.. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Thank you, this resolved my issue.

I read the wiki and changed "Hardware-accelerated decoding" to "VA-API video decoder".

My original problem was caused by the fact that this was set to automatic, now that it's set to "VA-API video decoder" VLC is able to play mp4 files again without any issues.

I disabled hardware acceleration and VLC is able to play mp4 files again; however, is there a way to turn on hardware acceleration without getting these errors?

Update:

Changing “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder” fixed the issue. Now VLC is able to play mp4 files with hardware acceleration without any issues.

Tried it. I don't think there's anything to upgrade:

I don't know if it updated my video driver. I just used this command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

I'm using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn't resolve the issue. Here's an excerpt from the VLC's log file:

glconv_vaapi_x11 error: vaDeriveImage: operation failed

main error: video output creation failed

main error: failed to create video output

avcodec info: Using G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0 for hardware decoding

How do I resolve this issue?

like Debian Stable has packages from this century

You can set up Debian 12 to use Flatpak. I use it and it works well.
