[Resolved] After updating through both APT and the Software Store, I can't play mp4 videos with VLC anymore. The screen goes blank for a second or two then the audio starts playing without the video..

Thank you, this resolved my issue.

I read the wiki and changed “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder”.

My original problem was caused by the fact that this was set to automatic, now that it’s set to “VA-API video decoder” VLC is able to play mp4 files again without any issues.

I disabled hardware acceleration and VLC is able to play mp4 files again; however, is there a way to turn on hardware acceleration without getting these errors?
