Re: VLC media player pixelated grey screen
The underlying cause of this is a delayed or unfulfilled vlc read-request. The primary triggers are fine-grained power management (AHCI's HIPM/DIPM) enabled mechanical drives, and also your basic IO contention scenario's. I have made a few posts on pages 4 & 5 over on this thread (https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 9&start=60), that detail a few things you could try.

Re: VLC media player pixelated grey screen
You can go to video codecs in advanced preferences and disable "Hurry Up" in ffmpeg.
If the playback gets painfully slow, that's speed issue.
