The VideoLAN Forums

Last week everything was fine. A few days after upgrading to 3.0.3 I started having the same problem with many files that used to play perfectly: every few seconds the picture breaks up into vertical streaks. The very same files play perfectly in Chrome.

I tried reverting to 3.0.2. No change.
I tried a clean install. No change.
I tried different video output settings. No change.

VLC worked perfectly for me for years. I want it to work again!

Hi,

Can you send the log ? you can grab them in the tools->messages window, after increasing the verbosity level.

On what OS are you ?

Thank you for looking at the problem! Here is an example. It looked fine last week and now looks like vertical streaks in VLC and normal in Chrome:

I'm guessing that
"direct3d11 error: Could not Create the D3D11 device. (hr=0x80004001)"
and related errors are the problem (video output is set to "Automatic"), but I've tried all the output options and the picture looks the same.

Oh, I should have mentioned: I'm using Windows 7.

I am having the same issue since the upgrade. I am on Windows 10, and have had to switch to another player because it glitches every few seconds for certain files.

I've given up and reverted to 2.2.6.

Disable hardware decoding in preferences.
