try installing smplayer and see if that plays well. if smplayer beats it, you can use that.

what mint version are you running?
have you updated?

also try using vlcs ppa.

Where is your taskbar and icons? Whats the point to even have a desktop if you dont use it?

>>56948842
I recorded this on my second monitor.

>>56948793
Will do, thank you very much! I'm on the latest version of Mint, everything completely updated.

install mpv

>>56948559
Why would you use Linux mint when Ubuntu mate exists?

>>56948559
Interesting this still happens, even with accelerated video output. Are you using the kernel GPU drivers (ex nouveau) or are you using the proprietary drivers from the vendor?

>>56948559
Generally VLC's main issue is with broken encodes, but it can also vary depending on the renderer chosen.

>>56948934
Proprietary, most up to date drivers.

Because not everybody has the exact same taste as you, maybe you'll learn that after you graduate middle school.

In all seriousness, I used various Ubuntu distros (Gnome, MATE, Xubuntu) for about a year but as soon as I booted up Mint I knew I found my new home.

That's one of the alternatives I'm looking at, along with smplayer. It seems like VLC is the only media player that suffers from this problem for some reason.

update: mpv & smplayer work flawlessly, I like smplayer alot more though. Just going to uninstall VLC and stick with smplayer. Thanks for all the help guys.

purge remove vlc and install an older .deb

Smplayer is dead AFAIK. Use mpv, if you like its features.

smplayer is a GUI for mpv/mplayer
Just switch to mpv in preferences.

Yeah, I realized that after I removed mpv. Just said fuck it in the end and stuck with Mint's default video player, it works fine.

My only problem with it is the fact that the scroll wheel seeks instead of changing the volume, that was probably my favorite feature of VLC, as minor as it is. Just watched 4 episodes of It's Always Sunny and I tried changing the volume with the scroll wheel countless times only for it to jump ahead in the episode, pretty annoying.

But all in all, I really don't mind. It works, there's little hassle, and...eh, well, fuck it.

Also, I tried this, but it was absolute dependency hell.
