jVLC - no video displayed: Failed to create picture surface

Postby laralura » 16 Aug 2006 13:09

Hello,

I'm having problems with video playback in jvlc on Windows. I'm using the jVLC port to Windows linked in post #76808 and so far, audio works fine. However, when I load a video file, I merely get a quick flash of a black window, although audio is working, together with the following messages in the log:

Code: Select all

main debug: no usable vout present, spawning one main debug: window size: 400x300 ... direct3d debug: DirectXEventThread running main debug: using video output module "direct3d" direct3d debug: Direct3D device adapter successfully initialized main debug: waiting for thread completion direct3d debug: selected surface pixel format is YUY2 direct3d error: Failed to create picture surface. (hr=0x8876086c) direct3d debug: 0 Direct3D pictures released. direct3d error: Direct3D picture pool initialization failed !
(The full log is available at http://tmp.noctis.de/jvlc/vlc-log_2006-08-16.txt - 8.5kb)

Audio is playing, but no video is shown. I've tried with several different videos to ensure it has nothing to do with them, but all exhibit the very same problem. I'm using the player (SwingClient) provided in the .zip-File linked above for testing.

Can you point me to the source of my problem or even provide a solution? I'd love to try a more recent version, but I was unable to find one.
