MKV files Don't always playback properly(Details below)
I've been a user since roughly v1.6 (10-15 yrs?). Forget when support for mkv's was added but this has been a problem for me since just about then. I have MANY .mkv files setup in a .m3u playlist. The first file plays fine. The second file plays audio fine, but the video has this annoying "anaglyph" effect (color layers are out of alignment?) Anything red is displaced ~1-3% upwards, anything blue is displaced ~2-5% downwards. Green seems unaffected. This effect GOES AWAY ENTIRELY if I stop and restart the current file (tbvh this is how I know that I'm seeing a bug, something obviously isn't "resetting itself" back to an "unplayed" state or the "unplayed" state is different than the "hasJustPlayedFile" state, which HAS TO BE unintended/actually a bug.) Any more advanced info that might help, feel free to ask, I MIGHT be able to provide this and will even learn stuff or install specific softwares you request to help supply such. I are not technically a coder but know A LOT about PC's and software, I are actually a PC "mechanic" (also called an A+ certified computer tech) and massive techno-geek. imo this bug is NOT related to my Nvidia card, removing it from the system or running the affected files on my other tower (with or without the Nvidia card) results in the exact same issue.
NOT ALL MKV's I play exhibit this behavior, just the ones I want to watch the most(ofc).
Steps to reproduce: Install any Version of VLC after and including 2.2 Play an .m3u playlist containing affected .mkv files.
