Some new info. I updated the AMD Radeon driver and all Ubuntu packages. Tried again with the vlc 3.0.3 Vetinari to play a video. From my syslog: Oct 24 18:38:37 ZAmd64 vlc[11488]: looking for opengl module matching "any": 3 candidates Oct 24 18:38:37 ZAmd64 vlc[11488]: Getting property Pos...

Gee, maybe your problem is similar to mine in the post " VLC v4 vs. v3, snap vs. native". Here are my entries in syslog: Oct 17 21:31:22 ZAmd64 vlc[16375]: looking for opengl module matching "any": 3 candidates Oct 17 21:31:22 ZAmd64 vlc[16375]: cannot load module `/usr/lib/x86_6...

I also had run beforehand in a bash shell:

johnz@ZAmd64:~$ export VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi

OK, I removed the snap version of vlc3 and uninstalled the vlc4, removed the vlc4 repositories, and installed vlc3 from ubuntu. Same problem- vlc crashes when selecting a video file. Got some info from my syslog file (when I ran 'cvlc filename'): Oct 17 21:31:22 ZAmd64 vlc[16375]: looking for opengl...

Still crashes Updated today. Still crashes. Oh well.

$ grep -iE 'vdpau|dri driver' /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 12.204] (II) AMDGPU(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: radeonsi [ 12.204] (II) AMDGPU(0): [DRI2] VDPAU driver: radeonsi The latest vlc 4 regresses- crashes instead of playing file. export VDPAU_DRIVER=va_gl didn't help either. I'll try removing snap vlc3 and d...

When running the snap vlc 3, the log file shows: -- logger module started -- main: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. main: playlist is empty glconv_vaapi_x11 error: vaInitialize: unknown libva error glconv_vaapi_drm error: vaInitialize: unknown libva er...

Just updated to the latest vlc 4 build. Am able to play video, only when I navigate to the (on mounted drive) video file itself. Still jerky in full screen, but, hey, some progress.

vlc file manager still not able to recognize any NTFS formatted volumes, however.

Turns out I had three files: 00-amdgpu.conf 10-amdgpu.conf 10-radeon.conf I removed both 10- files and modified the 00- with the options. Some improvement. The output below is what happens when I try to play video from the command line. cvlc BBC.The.Sky.at.Night.2018.Expedition.Asteroid.1080p.HDTV.x...

Thank you for the reply. I modified my 10-radeon.conf file to include: Option "TearFree" "on" Option "DRI" "3" Option "AccelMethod" "glamor" I also checked the Xorg.0.log and it does appear the Radeon/amdgpu drivers are loaded. No apparent ...

VLC v4 crashes when I try to play a video on my Kubuntu amd64 18.04 system with a Radeon RX 470/480. "cvlc filename" crashes, too. (seg fault) Have been updating regularly. VLC v3, installed with snap, will play video only if I use its file dialog to navigate to the mounted drive I store a...
