 Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 11:45 am Post subject: VLC video tearing |
 |
|
| When I play a movie in VLC, the video is tearing. Some files are playing with some tearing, some are glitching every few seconds (both video and audio), and I can't play MKV files (the video is tearing, colored squares are all over the place etc). All of the files are playing correctly in Windows 7 with VLC. I have a Thinkpad E520 laptop with Intel and AMD Radeon graphics. I am using only the Intel card, I haven't configured AMD. I have no Xorg config files, it worked instantly when I set it up following the wiki. My DE is XFCE, no compositing enabled. I need help diagnosing and solving the problem. Thanks. |

| VLC is one big bug. I use it only as KDE's phonon, because I don't like gstreamer with its plugins more |

yep,
mpv is much better, but maybe too difficult to configure at first time |

You can try to use Compton as compositor for X, it can help with tearing.

Thank you for your replies, I'll try both, and I'll report the results.
EDIT: Installed SMPlayer (tried mpv first, it works, but I found it complicated), and it works. However, there is some tearing when compositing is enabled. |

| Will Compton solve the tearing? If yes, is there a wiki or some guide for setting up and configuring Compton? |
