HARDWARE DECODING - Audio Sync - Pixelisation

Postby Soundizet » 18 Feb 2022 11:18

I have encountered a major bug/issue using VLC on Mac M1 Mini silicon.
Using the correct VLC Mac OS Silicon software updated as of 18 Feb, 2020.

HARDWARE DECODING option in VLC Preferences:
- If I turn this ON for many local mp4/mov videos there is audio sync issues for the first 2-3 minutes.
- If I turn this OFF it fixes the audio sync issue, but there is about 2 seconds of horrible video pixelisation at the star of every video.


Please help?

I have reinstalled VLC many times and reset all settings, but this issue doesn’t get solved.
Strangely when i delete VLC and Reinstall it, all the settings are remembered. Meaning it doesn’t uninstall/delete properly. Maybe if i can delete it totally and reinstall it some how this might fix it, but how do you totally delete on Mac. All i do is delete App in recycle bin.
