The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,

I have been using VLC player for a while now, with no problems until a few days ago. I was trying to play a MKV file like i normally do in VLC. It opened the file, the audio plays correctly, even if you click to different times in the video. The problem is the video, it will keep playing the first 1-2 seconds of the file over and over again. Even if you select a different time in the video, it will play the first couple of seconds and then repeats, but the audio is the correct audio no matter where you play. The files work correctly in any other media player, except VLC. Ideas?

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts and then post the link to the file here.

Cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

50 MB max should be enough.

Just to be sure, are you using a vlc 2.0+?
