What is shown with journalctl -e and what is shown in the console if you start VLC from the console (just type vlc) and make it crash?

sudo pacman -S libva-vdpau-driver

This Driver is allready installed.

Since it doesn’t work on a fresh Manjaro installation, other video programs don’t work there either, but everything works on MX Linux or old Manjaro, I assume that this is a bug in Manjaro that cannot currently be solved . I won’t try any further here and will wait until the bug is solved with the next update.

Switch to libva-nvidia-driver

libva-vdpau-driver is known to crash VLC and OBS (Hardware video acceleration - ArchWiki)

@philm The Manjaro developers should really consider changing the dependency to libva-nvidia-driver when installing the Nvidia driver.

@Marsa switch to libva-nvidia-driver was the trick that worked. Thank you Marsa!

@Marsa gave you the solution… reconsider if you give him the award and not yourself.

Please select the next time your terminal output and post it as code. It should look like my quote.
