![]() If you have compiz activated you will have some issues with VLC showing the video from a movie.Ģ. VLC is configured to use the hardware overlay for video (as per the default setting)ĭoes anyone have an idea what may cause this issue or how I may go about troubleshooting it? Right now I have 2 instances of VLC playing, each in fullscreen mode on a separate monitor.ġ. I use xrandr to designate the real 1st monitor as primary after boot-up, as suggested by someone in a question I asked on the Unix & Linux SE site. (I futzed with Firefox, because with the crazy number of windows and tabs that I normally have open, it regularly hogs about 1 GB of RAM.)Īnother bit of funkiness that comes to mind is the fact that my secondary monitor is considered the primary on boot-up. Sometimes, it seemed that closing a Firefox window did the trick, though that isn't consistently successful either. However, that did not prove to be a consistent workaround. I don't know if this is pertinent, but sometimes changing the min/max state of a Firefox window (Minefield, specifically) seemed to allow the troublesome instance to display the video in fullscreen mode. Other times, I have to settle for a smaller sized window. Sometimes, the video will display if I maximize the VLC window. (Sometimes, even a single instance will not display the video in fullscreen.) VLC will continue to play the video, but in fullscreen mode I see nothing but a black screen. Lately, I've been having trouble running 2 instances in fullscreen mode. I was able to toggle any of the other 5 into fullscreen mode and the video displayed without issue. One was always fullscreen on my second monitor, while the others were tiled on my primary monitor. ![]() In fact, I've had as many as 6 instances of VLC running, each playing a video. This has worked without issue in the past. (/me shakes a fist at the repository maintainers) AFAIK, nothing has changed with the video card drivers and it's certainly the same version of VLC. Recently VLC has been having issues displaying video in fullscreen mode.
