Severity: important
Hi,
It looks like one of the recent (Thu, October 27 2022 21:24:56 -0400) Bookworm upgrades broke video playback in the VLC player for me. Was working fine before. The video (regular MP4 files) seems to be playing (the progress marker is moving) but instead of the video output only a blank black rectangle with the orange cone in the middle is shown. The VLC video output is set to "XVideo Output (XCB)", that's the only option that used to work for me but not any more.
The Dragon player is still able to play videos. Am using KDE as DE.
Operating System: Debian 12 Bookworm GNU/Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Kernel Version: 6.0.0-2-amd64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: GA-78LMT-USB3 6.0
The upgrade in question involved the following packages:
