The VideoLAN Forums

I saw maxnem's message, and tried again. Got several errors, and sent my own text with the Error Report each time, attn. F. Kuehne. In brief: Video 1 (of three): loops just fine with VLC 3.0.0-git, but still, all I get is a completely blank screen, with the controls and the (active) counter at the b...

Ummm . . . when I open that first video I sent you (#1 of three by the same artist), using VLC 3.0.0-git, all I get is a blank screen! The controls appear at the bottom, the counter advances normally, and the play/pause button seems to work, but no picture. I tried playing it again with 2.2.3, and i...

Or not . . . I just found a different video in two different versions, on two different sites. The .mov version generates the same "codec not supported" error on VLC, and there is no sound; the codecs are VP80 and XiVs. However, the .webm version, which opens automatically with VLC, does h...

One more bit of evidence. The other two videos by the same artist list the following two codecs: H.264, AAC If AAC is the audio, it is worth noting that despite using an audio codec , there is no actual audio whether I play them with QuickTime or with VLC. So perhaps the artist did the same thing on...

I have three videos (by different artists) which produce the same error message, and none of them have any audio when I play them. I haven't been able to find those videos elsewhere to confirm whether or not they are supposed to have audio. However, the one I sent you is the first in a series of thr...

I'm delighted that you found the problem so soon! Now: assuming that VLC will eventually add XiVs to its database, is there anything I can do (or you can do) in the meantime, to at least prevent that pop-up error notification from reappearing every time the loop restarts? If I could close it the fir...

I just uploaded the file, with a brief note referencing this thread. Hope you can figure out what's going wrong. Thanks for looking into this.

Happy to do so, but be forewarned - it's NSFW. Unless I hear otherwise, I'll upload it tomorrow.

I just downloaded the 2.2.3 update, and I had the same problem I had with 2.2.1: I am currently using a MacBook Air OS X 10.11.4, with Safari 9.1. When I open a particular QuickTime (.mov) video, I get the following pop-up error message: "Codec not supported VLC could not decode the format &quo...

I have just encountered the same issue as BernieBone. I won't repeat his original post, but the only difference is that I am running VLC 2.2.1, on a MacBook Air OS X 10.11.2 ("El Capitan" - I guess they ran out of animals), with Safari 9.0.2. I would add that if the video is looping, the w...
