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?
Try Celluloid Flatpak. It is slim, perfectly packaged and uses MPV.
Saves you a lot of troubles.
