No video at all after an upgrade or a new install

Postby jlm » 22 Feb 2007 14:35

Hi,

I have upgraded VLC 0.8.2 (I 'm not sure about the exact version) to the new VLC 0.8.6a, on a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 fully patched. VLC was perfectly working before the upgrade.

Now the video isn't working any more; I only have black and white stripes, but sound is OK. I have tried to delete the upgraded version, to delete the VLC directory and re-install a brand new uploaded version, checked the box to delete the older config, the problem is still the same.

Here is the debugging info:

Any ideas ?

No. Delete your oplugins' cache.

Go to %appdata%\
remove VLC folder.

Done without any changes.
Sound still OK, but black and white stripes on the video

Ok. Go in the preferences, and advanced, and video and change the video output modules.

[Solved] No video at all after an upgrade or a new install

Postby jlm » 22 Feb 2007 17:13

Works fine with the OpenGL Video Output module

But not with the previously selected default Video Output module. I don't know why

Thanks

I think it has changed between versions. The DirectX output may need a newer version of DirectX software and graphic drivers.
