I’m trying to watch some DVDs on my laptop (tuxedo os w/ external optical drive) but VLC won’t play the video, only the audio. It played the menu once but I couldn’t replicate it. Pretty sure i’ve downloaded all of the necessary codecs. Y’all have any idea how to fix it?

Edit: just switched to the flatpak (system had the Ubuntu package by default) and it works but the options to use VLC directly from the devices menu in the system tray are now gone.

    Huh, I’m currently having the same issue with a few DVD .iso rips. Just audio plays, no video. I might have to try the flatpak.
