Hi, I was wondering if anyone here might relate to the following problem. When I attempt to use current VLC 3.0.0 nightlies to play certain videos the main window does two things: it starts flickering (between what seems solid black or solid white and whatever it the window was showing before—such as a playlist—with no video—or audio—output); and it also grows (it gets a little bigger, then slightly smaller, and so on until it fills the screen). Sometimes I can stop playback; others I have to force-quit. Steps to reproduce:. Download a recent VLC nightly, starting with. Visit the and download the first entry of section 3 (which links to.). Try and play the video.
VLC Media Player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, OGG.) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.

Expected result: The video, with sound, should play. Actual result: There is no video or audio; the VLC main window flickers and grows. It might be necessary to force-quit the application. From my initial testing, affected videos showing the described behaviour are encoded using H.264, where the decoded format identified by VLC is 'Planar 4:2:0 YUV)'; it does not happen for 10-bit encodes (format: 'Planar 4:2:0 YUV 10-bit LE'). I have also experienced the flickering in ‘MPEG-4’ videos though in this case the window tries to shrink (perhaps simply because they are low-resolution 3GPP YouTube videos).

Limitedly tested encodings which do not show the behaviour are VC-1, H.265, VP9, and ‘XVID’. Building from source, the problem seems to rear its head with VLC revision 2.2.0-git-12552-g1664bf2d55 (commit 1664bf2d55d723ba75959a5bac4d77). Revision 2.2.0-git-12551-gc45ece9738 (the previous commit) seems to work fine. Since the commit is OpenGL-related, perhaps not all Mac plaftforms experience it.
