I've used VLC for as long as I can remember and 3.0.1 is the first version I've had problems with.
If I play a video and I go in to the settings to tick the box for rotation the video image stops playing (audio continues). If I tick it and save the setting then close vlc and re-open it again to play a video then it just shows a blank screen but with sound playing. As soon as I untick rotation the video plays fine again.
It's the same with interactive zoom. If I tick the box the video image stops playing and no zoom box appears. Unticking it plays the video image again.
Audio doesn't seem affected by either of these bugs.
