The screenshot looks a lot like screen tearing. This occurs when the frame rates of the window manager and video are not synchronized, resulting in parts of multiple frames being drawn over each other.
I would certainly confirm that your window manager is set to 'sync to vblank' or 'vsync' before taking any other steps. Your monitor is probably refreshing at 60hz, although gaming monitors can be different. The XFCE window manager needs to redraw at that same rate. That would fix the tearing issue, although at 60hz you'd still have judder on any video whose frame rate doesn't divide evenly into 60. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966376 Title: Video playback always results in lines across the screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1966376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
