The VideoLAN Forums

I have an IP camera that saves "event" files as .265 files on it's own SD card and by ftp to my portable drive on my linksys router.

I am running Win10 and VLC 3.0.11. When I try to play the file from either source VLC text in the upper left corner stutters between the 265 file filename and the "VLC media player" name. I cannot get it to stop without task manager.

I tried /tools/messages/vertbosity= 2 but I can't get a log because I have to force stop VLC.

My PC is a Lenovo Yogo C930 with onboard graphics. Maybe the onboard graphics are inadequate.... however I AM able to play back the 265 files from the sd card using my iphone 11 and the CamHiPro iphone app which came with the cam, so I am surprised if the problem is just the C930 on board cpu.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Try a different output module in prefs (Ctrl + P to open). Here's a pix of the menu.

Run VLC with these options before you start the playback for creating a log file: and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Make sure you have full access rights to the destination path.

That said, if these files are RAW HEVC files then it's better to mux them into an MP4 or MKV container.
