[Help] VLC black screen with audio playing 720p .mkv file

[Kleavage]

I'm not entirely sure but this may have just started happening after the most recent update. I've tried resetting my preferences as I had done before to fix this kind of issue but no luck.

I've had this same issue a few times, i used to think it was just a bad torrent. Is there a way to fix it? Have about 6 .mkv files that are unplayable at the moment so can someone please help solve the issue.
Thanx

Try another video output module:

And/or disable/enable GPU acceleration:

You can also try to enable or disable some video options such as Overlay and/or Hardware YUV -> RGB conversions.


For testing purposes you may try to disable the power management settings (EPU Engine) of your ASUS motherboard, if you are using one.
