I do not have a dedicated GPU:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac14,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 3.2 GHz
The fact that it works fine on different versions of macOS and with different hardware makes it an OS issue caused by the 10.14.6 update.Issue persists in version 3.0.8 .
And I answer the statement that "This is an issue in macOS"
There is no evidence that that is the case:
Also, were this an Apple issue, we would see this in other software rather than just VLC.
A search for 'macOS 10.14.6 video issues' or 'macOS 10.14.6 video glitch' shows no one having this issue outside of VLC users.
Yes, especially for an operating system with a compositor :/In fact, a program should never be able to cause such graphics corruptions at all. That this can happen is a bug in macOS, even if VLC
might be doing something "wrong".
Good to read (I saw this after posting my comment)Hi, the «issue» has been found and the fix is being written, but might or might not land in the 3.0 branch. The goal is to merge it in 3.0.9 but it might be to big for a change in the 3.0 branch.
Basically Apple broke a lot of behaviour and API through the deprecation of OpenGL, and we had to change the way the video output works for MacOSX.

Code: Select all
VLC should not be using deprecated protocols like OpenGL or Bocce, Metal is the new OpenGL, I know this is unfair.
