Everytime i play a .mkv file the audio works fine but the video freezes

Can you share the verbose logs?
Tools->messages set verbosity to 2 and then start playback.

You may also want to enable GPU acceleration in Tools->preferences Input/Codecs check the GPU decoding box save and restart vlc and try vlc 2.0-rc1

Hello, TypX. I'm experiencing the same problem as kpasso. Where do I find the GPU decoding box? This is all I'm seeing:

set show settings to simple -> input/codecs -> check the gpu acceleration box save settings and restart vlc, yet the logs would help me more to diagnose the problem

im having the same issue here are my logs main debug: adding item `[Commie] Guilty Crown - 01 [662BB1FD].mkv' ( file:///C:/Users/James/Downloads/Guilty%20Crown%20%5BCommie%5D/%5BCommie%5D%20Guilty%20Crown%20-%2001%20%5B662BB1FD%5D.mkv )

Ok, I'll download the file and check that.

thanks a lot.

All you have to do is go tools - preferences and reset. - then it works fine

that didnt work still black screen

Hmmm.. it does work - are you sure you reset preferences then saved and restarted vlc before trying it?

i hit reset and it exits the preferences tab so i can only guess its saving and yes i restarted it doesnt help
