Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet 2022-12-20 16:28:25 CET 
No problem with me on vlc and the latest driver.

Can you try to regen the vlc cache (if any issue)
sudo /usr/lib64/vlc/vlc-cache-gen /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins

Then run vlc from command line and paste the output ?
vlc -v 


Also do you confirm to have rebooted when the driver was upgraded ?
Comment 2 Clodoaldo Pinto Neto 2022-12-20 16:41:34 CET 
I did reboot after the driver upgrade.

After regen of the vlc cache?

It fixes it
Comment 6 Nicolas Chauvet 2022-12-20 21:07:50 CET 
Can you confirm that vlc tries to use vaapi by default on nvidia or it's just that you set the video output hw decode directly to vaapi ?

You should use vdpau (or opengl with vdpau video accelerated interop)
That's what I have when the video output hardware decoding is set to automatic.

It is set to automatic and I don't remember ever touching it. Now I have set it to vdpau and it also works

If I remove nvidia-vaapi-driver it works. I don't remember why I did install it.

nvidia-vaapi-driver is relevant mainly for browser (firefox/chromium*) and other  multimedia application that can only use the vaapi hw acceleratation.

So it's relevant to keep it, now vlc can be forced to use vdpau instead of vaapi to prevent using it over the native vdpau support.


Closing the issue.
