I also found this thread after finding HDR content to be too dark on VLC. When I play the same file using the built in windows Film & TV player, I have the same issue there too, but for some reason, when I click full screen on the windows player, it goes to a nice brightness level for 1 second, ...

Given that none of the software options, including factory reset has worked, I'm hoping its a hardware fault of some kind. Lenovo will replace the motherboard (given that they can't narrow down where the issue might be). I really hope this extreme step solves the issue, because if it doesn't, I'll b...

Hi Hitchhiker, it was a crazy busy week for me so I didn't get a chance to test further until now. I tested on a 4k file yesterday and the stutter was back. I tried your suggestion of changing capture device, and also changed all the power management settings you mentioned, but no luck. At this poin...

Hi Hitchhiker. I tried what you suggested above, about the High performance GPU workaround prior to my factory reset, and it didn't fix the issue. I also had all the latest drivers. The old laptop cannot run 4k, but it can run 1080p flawlessly (while the new one struggled with 1080p too). the old on...

So I reset the laptop, and didn't get much of a chance to test, beyond a couple of mins before I had to go run an errand, but from what I can see, the problem persists

Hi Hitchhiker, I called Lenovo support and unsurprisingly they said to try a full factory reset. That's a bit painful since I had gotten the laptop up and running the way I want it and now have to start over again. I am currently doing the factory reset and will report back whether this fixes the is...

Thank you for your continued help hitchhiker. I followed those, and 'Turn on network discovery' and 'turn on automatic setup of network connected devices' is already ticked for my new laptop (the one on 1909 build) so I don't think that's responsible for the mircast issue :( i tried turning network ...

Can you go to this Lenovo support site and run the scan to check for driver updates please. You might have to change the product, but there's a button on the left to do that. Also could you please post the Windows 10 Build on both machines. In case you're not sure how to do that launch the Run comm...

Thank you Hitchiker, I really appreciate you taking the time to continue to help! So I worked through the first link, and his problem was that the cmd line was saying Wireless Display Supported: No (Graphics Driver: Yes, Wi-Fi Driver: No) and he had to work to get Wi-fi driver to say yes. However, w...

Thank you for the reply. The system specs of my previous laptop are: Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4510U (4M Cache, up to 3.1 GHz), 16gb ram, graphics card: GeForce GT 750M The make and model of my new machine is: Lenovo ideapad L340. my new tv is: Posted 26th LG 55SM8200PLA Assuming Ideapad L340 is t...

I tried MPV.io and I don't seem to get the same stuttering through that video player, so the issue does seem to be with VLC somewhere. EDIT: spoke too soon, not getting great playback on MPV either :/

Try another video output module: http://wiki.videolan.org/WindowsFAQ-2.0.x#Why_does_VLC_only_give_black.2C_white_or_garbled_.28or_other_visual_errors.29_video_output.3F You can try with and without hardware acceleration. You can also try to enable or disable some video options such as Overlay and/o...

What are the system specs on your previous laptop? Also, please post make and model of the new machine. There might be an issue with it which can be identified if we know the make and model. EDIT : The make and model of your TV might be helpful as well . Thank you for the reply. The system specs of...

Thought I'd report back in, I tried some of the suggestions in this thread. Lotesdelere I followed those instructions and ran VLC with the dedicated graphics card. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem. I also tried turning hardware acceleration off, and this caused its own problems, e.g. whe...

By default it should use the integrated graphics card. Workaround: make a copy of VLC.exe and rename it to VLC-GPU.exe Now you add VLC-GPU.exe to the list of programs in the Nvidia control panel and tweak it as you want. You can either use the right click context menu on the VLC icon and choose &qu...

Video output has little with decoding process.
Are you sure that's not switching to Intel graphics ?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I'm a bit of a n00b, how can I check whether it is switching to intel graphics, and force VLC to use the dedicated graphics card instead?

Hi, I'm just about pulling my hair out on this. I bought a new laptop recently, and even small (e.g. 2 - 5gb) MKV files stutter and have jerky motion when connected to my TV via HDMI. They seem to play fine on the laptop itself. I've tried making the TV my primary display, changing HDMI cable, diffe...
