The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I am having an issue I have seen posted on a lot of topics with other media players as well, but I have yet to find any solutions. Most topics seem to die off and never get a solution.

I am running a h264 codec file for a show my lady was wanting to watch, but it wouldn't work. I do not know much about video encoding but I am good with computers. I have figured out how to run the log for VLC and I am posting it here. I ran the file for several minutes before saving the file.

EDIT:

I tried to paste it in here using Messages and the Code thing but it won't work. Pastebin instead.

Open VLC and go to Tools ---> Preferences ---> click the Input/Codecs button and in Codecs section at the top change "Hardware-accelerated decoding" to "Disabled". Save and exit and then try playing the video again.

I wasn't able to determine what the path was from your log file, but found a review of the title Younger Season 4, Episode 2 Review which plays without any stuttering in VLC via the "Media" ---> "Open Network Stream" menu. Is that what you were watching?

"mkv debug: found nothing, go up"

Thats' usually a sign the file is broken or may not be fully downloaded (from torrents).
