Hi all,

I'm using VLC 2.0.0 and I have the problem I describe in title. The only way I found to solve this issue is to move the cursor at the right side of the screen. But it remains quite annoying in fact... in other media player I don't have this bug, cursor disappears after 2-3 seconds.
I have tried resetting player preferences and cache files, and even a full reinstallation after using Ccleaner.
I've tried to change some settings like "use Overlay" or not, use GPU acceleration, change outputs, and even change language...
I really don't know what the problem is ! I've never encountered this with previous versions of VLC !

Can anyone give me some help ?

Tools -> Preferences (Show settings: All) Video, and change Hide cursor and fullscreen controller after x milliseconds to 500. Save and restart VLC. See if it works better.

It works !! Many thanks to you !

Bye =)

I'm having the same problem as described here, but with version 2.0.5. I've tried the above suggestion, changing the setting from the default 1000 ms to 500 ms, but the issue persists. The mouse cursor never seems to hide. Any other suggestions?

After posting above, I tried resetting "Hide cursor and fullscreen controller after x milliseconds" to 0 seconds, and I also disabled "Show media title on video". Although I'm not sure which change did the trick, after restarting the player the mouse cursor goes invisible immediately when a video begins playing, both in full screen and when it's not in full screen (when the cursor is over the video in the latter case). While I don't know if this is the best, or only, solution, it does solve the problem adequately, until/unless anyone may have a better suggestion. Thanks.
