I upgraded VLC on 2 of my Debian systems.
I am only getting audio.

Package: vlc
Version: 3.0.3-1-0+deb9u1

Code: Select all

QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/MainInterface) The largest allowed size is (16777215,16777215)
QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/MainInterface) The largest allowed size is (16777215,16777215)
QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/FirstRun) Negative sizes (-491607381,-491607381) are not possible
QWidget::setMinimumSize: (/MainInterface) The largest allowed size is (16777215,16777215)

vlc filename.mp4 --no-embedded-video

I tried from terminal and this worked but no controls available in VLC.

I think this is Video driver specific

If video driver related, tell us what you're using! Install inxi, report the output of "inxi -G" as a standard user.

The usual problem is that VLC 3.X defaults to the openGL video output instead of 2.X's xv output, and your video driver may not be providing one ("glxinfo")

I added this to /etc/environment

Code: Select all

export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
I rebooted once and it worked.

Don't run commands as root when nobody said to...that is a very dangerous habit.
