Impossible to play videos in VLC on Ubuntu 20.04 (VA-API problem ?)
Hello,
On my friend's computer, VLC can't Play any video :
- I open the video from thunar
- VLC graphical interface opens
- The time duration of the video is correctly displayed
- The video screen stays black
- Few seconds later VLC crashes
If it can helps, it works fine the play videos with Parole or inside Firefox.
I tried launching some videos from the Terminal and the same problem happens. Here are the logs :
$ vlc some_video.mp4
[00005635aa8895b0] main libvlc: Lancement de vlc avec l'interface par défaut. Utiliser « cvlc » pour démarrer VLC sans interface.
libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0

How can I help you more to understand what happens ?
