The VideoLAN Forums

This started happening a few weeks ago. Some video files that I have played for years without any problems suddenly start playing with audio only and a black screen.
Sometimes, turning the TV off for a few minutes makes them play normally again, or restarting the player a few dozen times.
Resetting the app to defaults seems to fix it but then the problem appears again with the next video or the next time I turn the TV on.
