I’m using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn’t resolve the issue. Here’s an excerpt from the VLC’s log file:
glconv_vaapi_x11 error: vaDeriveImage: operation failed
main error: video output creation failed
main error: failed to create video output
avcodec info: Using G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0 for hardware decoding
How do I resolve this issue?
Did you happen to also update your video driver and not reboot?
I don’t know if it updated my video driver. I just used this command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
it has logs that show what it did
If you restart and put the setting back to how it was, and it still works, then that’s probably what happened.
