log.txt

mpv player seems ok

Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.11.11-300.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 30.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics & RTX 4060 Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 83DH System Version: Legion Slim 5 16AHP9

changed title from No Video on Fedora 41 to Bank screen 0n Fedora 41

changed the description

Your logs show everything working in order using VDPAU and GLX. This makes zero sense if you have an AMD GPU. Either you mixed logs up, or your system configuration is very very broken.

closed

added Platform::GNU/Linux Status::not VLC labels

well, my system has 2 gpus, the other being nvdia 4060, but it is not turned on due to dynamic gpu switching. i suspect the driver is failing to start. nvivia-dri/ nvtop does not show signs of the nvidia gpu starting or vlc being run on the gpu

I think it's an interesting issue, and it should be re-opened.

Since we don't test VLC on dual AMD+NVIDIA GPU.

reopened

I won't prevent you from investigating if you want but that seems like the on-demand GPU switch failure and I'm not sure that VLC can do anything about that. It wouldn't be the first time that XWayland fails to properly detect/configure the proper card (cf #25946)

(Also conforming the discussion we had about reopening issues the last time I'm assigning it to you).

ok i think it was on my side. the gpu drivers at that time ws llvmpipe for the amd due to missing kernel modules and nvidia was not being loaded due to secureboot
