Pausing VLC Player

[Intacept]

Greetings,

I have come across an issue while pausing VLC Player.
When I pause a video for say 20 minutes or more, then when I attempt to resume, the video become choppy.
Even when I close the video and reopen, the player is still choppy.
I have to literally reboot Windows to get it back to normal.

When I use the built in Windows 10 "Movies & TV" Player, it works like a charm even after long video pauses.
I did increase the File Caching to 2000 but the issue still occurs.

There was a time when only VLC Player could play anything without issues or the need to modify settings and now Windows' own built in player seems to have caught up.
Is there anything I can "set" or "change" in the Settings to fix the choppy video issue after I pause the videos?

Try changing the output module. You'll find it in the Preferences menu (Ctrl+ P to open) and then click the Video button at the top. Direct3D11 works best for me, but it depends on your system as to which option might be best for you.

Thank you for the response.
Tried that.... same issue.
I closed VLC, restarted video... still same issue.
This only happens when I pause for like 5 mins or longer.
Only a full reboot fixes the issue.
Whereas Windows built in "Movies & TV" video player.... works perfectly, no issues after long pauses.
I suppose I can try other Output options.... but I just wish VLC was as good as the Windows 10 Player. so weird, never thought I would every be saying that. *sigh*
