Greetings!
I don't know why I chose to finally update my VLC player to 3.0.4 (Windows 10 Pro 1803, 64-bit) yesterday while I am getting ready to deliver a product, but that's what I did. Some .h264 files are a part of my deliverable and now I am unable to play about 1 for every 3 of these files using VLC. This is a big problem that needs to get solved fast.
When I try to open the non-operable files, the orange progress bar might bounce from left to right a little, but it always ends by simply displaying the cone and nothing actually happens. I tried changing my preferences for Skip H.264 in-loop deblocking filter, video output, and disabled the hardware-accelerated decoding. I turned on messages and I cannot tell what the issue might be (note, the messages end with "nothing to play" and then "deleting input" but I am actually able to still play the videos using Windows Media Player, which does not have the features I need to finish this product). Any help, please!? Oh, and I know next to nothing about coding, etc.
The end of messages:
main debug: `file:///C:/Users/R002.h264' successfully opened

Thank you in advance!
