It's working again. It happened after I was changing a few things in the UI, and restarting if I wasn't sure the changes would be applied without it (like "Always on top" required a restart). It's possible it might have somehow been related to trying various output methods, and pressing stop button then restarting again after each one (required to use a new output device). I did this even with output methods I expected not to work, such as DirectFB video output and GNU/Linux framebuffer output.
But if this is a way to fix the problem if it occurs, I don't know how to replicate it. I had previously tried restarting Xorg, then restarting my computer, which hadn't fixed it. As this bug is not confirmed to consistently affect even a single user, it's not a high-priority bug. I don't know if it could possibly be relevant that I disabled my syslog and kern.log by changing write permissions due to low disk space; it seemed like after that, a USB wireless device would take longer to start working. It might be waiting for logging to timeout or something, and not sure if this could somehow affect video rendering too. (Pausing the rsyslogd daemon causes more problems than just making the logs unwriteable.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440254 Title: Recent update broke XVideo/XCB output for h264 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1440254/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
