The VideoLAN Forums

Every single video I try and play, I get pixelated video. It does eventually clear itself, but it'll do it many times throughout each video.

Please follow instructions in the orange box to create the log files we need to help you with your problem.

Thanks for uploading the log file, but you forgot to mention which OS you're using and which version of vlc you have installed.

Nevertheless, you can try doing the following (assuming you have vlc 3.0.4 installed).

1. Click Tools ---> Preferences and then click the Input/Codecs button,
2. Click the radio button at the foot of the menu to enable the advanced (All) settings.
3. In the left hand panel click Input/Codecs and then scroll down to the Advanced section in the right hand panel.
4. On the right hand side there are a set of figures which indicate the default caching options (see screenshot). If the video is located on locally try increasing the file caching from 300 milliseconds to 600. If you're streaming the videos, double the network cache from its default 1000ms to 2000.
5. Click Save and then exit and restart vlc again.

My bad. Yes, i'm using 3.0.4, and i'm on Windows 10 Pro v1809.

The same problem. Only with MKV. Version 3.0.4x32 and x64. No problem on 2.2.8

Can you start logging before starting the video, in verbose mode ?

It seems you can't play the video at its required speed. Maybe you have an issue with your driver or your material is not correctly supported by the video renderer you're using.

The same problem. Only with MKV. Version 3.0.4x32 and x64. No problem on 2.2.8

Mine does it on any type of file. . avi, mkv, mp4, etc.

Same Problem. VLC 3.0.11 Vetinari . Windows 7 32. Here is the errors messages
