Hi, I have just downloaded a new video in the format MP4 but VLC won't play it (black screen, no sound). I have checked other videos in the same format and they are playing fine.
Can anyone he;p?
Thanks
Lynne

Re: VLC not playing some videos
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.

https://wetransfer.com
If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

100 MB max should be enough.

Re: VLC not playing some videos
Many thanks. I have now discovered that the file is corrupted so it wouldn't work on any platform.
Thanks Lynne
