The VideoLAN Forums

I don't know what my previous version was but I just updated to 3.0.20 a couple of days ago and now no video files will play whether they are .mp4, .mkv, .avi. In the main window, under 'Duration', all files are shown as 00:00.

I've tried dozens of files - none will play. I can open and play the files with every other media player and converter on my system as well as on two Android devices.

I'm running a 2012 Mac Mini with Mac OS 10.15.7 Catalina.

Please reset the preferences of your VLC. You can do that in the Preferences panel accessible through the VLC menu.

That worked, thanks.

I have the same issue. I am running a Macbook Pro (early 2015) with Monterery 12.7.3.
Tried resetting the preferences of my VLC. That didn't do the job.

Any other suggestions?
