How to fix black windows during video playback

How to fix black windows during video playback

• There is a workaround to this bug by changing the video output device on your video player to x11/xshm. (Note that this will decrease the quality of the video output and requires a lot more CPU.)

• For gstreamer-dependent players (Totem, etc.):

gstreamer-properties
Video-->Default Video Plugin: X Window System (No Xv)

Click Test to verify that video playback is working (you should be able to see the standard TV testing colour stripes).

• For VLC player(if installed):

VLC-->Settings-->Preferences
Video-->Output modules-->Advanced: X11

• For MPlayer (if installed):

Mplayer-->Right-click on the screen-->Preferences
Video-->Available Drivers: X11 (XImage/Shm)

Some users report that MPlayer may not be able to show videos in full screen.

• For Xine player (if installed):

Xine-->File-->Configure-->Preferences
experience_level: Master Of The Known Universe
Video-->Driver: xshm

• For RealPlayer (if installed):

RealPlayer-->Tools-->Preferences
Hardware-->Deselect: Use XVideo
