No Picture in VLC 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 on nVidia cards

[wijadija]

I had no issues with my previous version of VLC on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I upgraded to VLC 1.10 and now I audio but NO PICTURE! I have tried everything to see if I can get a picture to no avail. I have updated Direct X and all my drivers are up to date. Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Please HELP!

[wijadija]

Nevermind...got it working....just uncheck 'use hardware YUV->RGB conversions' under the 'preferences' -> 'video' tab, then save and restart VLC.

[Efthyvoulos]

Yes. That was the answer. I unchecked the ( use hardware YUV- RGB conversions under preferences video tab and then restart VLC.
So Thanks a lot my dear.

Thanks for the update, the release notes say so.

[Ludrax]

I believe that is true in this case and Catalyst® 6.11

Yep. That worked for me as well! Thank you very much

I have the same blank screen issue. Running XP Pro SP3

directx debug: DirectXEnumCallback: SAPPHIRE RADEON 9200 ATLANTIS, \\.\DISPLAY1

but with some other cards and Catalyst™ Software Suite Version 9.3 is same as in Win7 VLC 1.1.x direct3d error - VLC 1.0.5 works

[VLC_help]

You played same video on both VLC versions?

[Ludrax]

same with any video since 1.1.0
no effect if I untick Use Hardware YUV->RGB conversions and Accelerated video output/Overlay video output...

[VLC_help]

It is just that I don't know why the surface pixel format would change between versions if you watch same video.

direct3d debug: selected surface pixel format is YV12

and

direct3d debug: selected surface pixel format is YUY2

Anyway, if the problem is surface pixel format related, playing something like RGB AVI files should work.

Seems to work, what is the issue?

[Ludrax]

It's just one little problem / that secondary display is used, among other things, for VLC

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

I don't understand.

i think it was me
After i found this thread, I tried 1.1.5 again with disabled secondary monitor
And bingo, direct3d works...

Code: Select all

direct3d debug: created video sub-window direct3d debug: Vout EventThread running direct3d debug: disabling screen saver main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'resize' 592x357 window direct3d warning: trying surface pixel format: YV12 direct3d debug: selected surface pixel format is YV12 direct3d debug: Direct3D scene created successfully direct3d debug: Direct3D device adapter successfully initialized

But if I enable the secondary monitor, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

direct3d debug: created video sub-window direct3d debug: Vout EventThread running direct3d debug: disabling screen saver direct3d error: Could not create the D3D device!

So same same here, with both monitors enabled:

I found out that it works if resolution of that secondary monitor is up to 960x720.
maybe we can try to contact...

[Ludrax]

apparently the issue is fixed in few latest NB so I want to thank whoever changed the code especially because
