Heavy green pixellation

Hi all,

I'm using VLC media player version 3.0.6, and I'm getting corruption, in the form of heavy green pixellation. This happens with "Mulvacoded" season 1 episode 1 of "The Man in the High Castle".

The only video output option that works is Direct3D9.

I'm getting the green pixellation with the following output options: Direct3D11, OpenGL for Windows, OpenGL, DirectX (DirectDraw), and Windows GDI.

With the following output options, I get flickering and the picture "hangs" and won't update: Video memory, YUV.

Regards,
Albert.

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 Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) or to WeTransfer.com and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

100 MB max should be enough.

I will do this if necessary, if you can't reproduce the error yourself using the sample:

I used MKVToolNix.

No, we want a binary cut of the original file, not a remuxed one.
Please proceed with DGsplit as requested.

And we do need your log from your machine using your hardware.

I had similar issues. I fixed by modifying hardware acceleration. Go to Tools -> Preferences -> Input/Codecs -> Hardware-accelerated Decoding -> Direct X.

You must match direct3d11 acceleration with direct3d11 display, or dxva acceleration with direct3d9 display on windows.

I changed to opengl and videos played normally. 1st thought it was error in video and re-downloaded it but same error and then tested with other video with same results until I came here.

Direct X appears to work for me, too!
