I’m trying to watch some DVDs on my laptop (tuxedo os w/ external optical drive) but VLC won’t play the video, only the audio. It played the menu once but I couldn’t replicate it. Pretty sure i’ve downloaded all of the necessary codecs. Y’all have any idea how to fix it?
Edit: just switched to the flatpak (system had the Ubuntu package by default) and it works but the options to use VLC directly from the devices menu in the system tray are now gone.
Try toggling hardware acceleration in VLC settings. Had something similar with an older video.
Tried that, didn’t help on my system. I switched to the flatpak version just now but the integration the preinstalled version had (option in devices thing to run with VLC).
