Black screen with a specific AV1 MKV file

Postby paradoz » 29 Jan 2024 16:06

Hello

I am using Arch Linux, with KDE running on X11.
The MKV file contains an AV1 video track, 2 subtitles and 2 Opus audio tracks. When I try to play it in VLC, I have no output. MPV doesn't have this issue.
The problem only happens when the video track is encoded by AV1. H264 and H265 works fine.
I extracted the AV1 track and played it container-less with no problem in VLC

VLC version 3.0.20
Output is set to X11 (XCB)

Does anyone have the same issue

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com or on Justpaste.it if it's too long.
