Get Energetic Evaluating Kenitic Kubuntu 22.10

I am wondering if you have tried adding the ppa that I mentioned above, ie sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily. For my system it works well and I have VLC launching every time I select a mp4 or DVD.

Only to see if the bug also existed with that. It did.

So sorry that you are having trouble with that ppa, as I have Nvidia and AMD Laptops each with Kinetic fully installed and VLC gives the same performance with media files. I should also mention that I use Pre-released updates.

I am currently away from Home and will not be returning for about two weeks, so I do not know if my Nvidia system is still working with the latest VLC updates which seem to come every couple of days.

I am starting to wonder if the latest VLC has some dependencies unsatisfied. I install many multimedia applications which maybe why VLC works for me.

I have gone through my list and the applications which I think may be related to why VLC works for me are:

winff-qt;
phonon4qt5-backend-vlc;
libvdpau-va-gl1;
libvdpau-dev;
libxine2-all-plugins;
dragonplayer;
kubuntu-restricted-extras;
mesa-utils;
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-*

There are other applications such as audacity, kazam and kdenlive which I also have installed and their dependencies may also have a bearing my working VLC.

I hope that this is of some use to getting a working VLC.
