VLC fails to play AV1 codec movies
Posted: 23 May 2024 11:49
I've been seeing this behavior for some time, but since I don't play AV1 video regularly as all of the AV1 videos I have are from YouTube and I play those on my phone, it wasn't bothering me that much, and only today I decided to try to fix it.
With the default settings (i.e. tested using "reset preferences), AV1 video doesn't work. If I disable hardware decoding, close VLC, and open the same file again, it plays OK. If I run vlc directly from the terminal, there are no differences in the logs which could lead to any clue.
This is with hardware decoding disabled (video plays OK)
And this with hardware decoding enabled (video doesn't play, only audio)
OS: Debian 12, VLC 3.0.20, GPU: nVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
