Hans-Peter and Rob got me going some days ago with .ts files made from one of the two FTA DVB sources I most often record, by changing in VLC preferences video output from automatic to OpenGL GLX video output: http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2017-September/015398.html
>From my other primary source, SMPlayer produces expected video, but VLC (either OSS version or Packman version 2.2.6-8.1.x86_64) usually outputs only green, sometimes green with a bunch of blotching as if source was inadequate. If I change back from OpenGL GLX video output to automatic, then output is a constant flashing back & forth between green screen & expected output. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/AV/vlc1005.txt is from running several seconds with OpenGL GLX video output set. I see no occurrences of "fail" or "error". Is there anything in it explains what needs to be changed, if there is some bug that needs fixing, or otherwise suggests a solution? Googling green screen VLC with Linux seems to be a lost cause. :-( >From the same problem source, I made a 33 second test recording (55MB) for this thread. SM plays it normally. VLC won't play it at all: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/AV/CWD-5test1.ts OS is 42.3 on Haswell: # inxi -G -c0 Graphics: Card: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller Display Server: X.Org 1.18.3 drivers: modesetting (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1920x1200@59.95hz GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Haswell Desktop GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.5 -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
