Package: vlc
Version: 3.0.17.4-4+b2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
When attempting to play back MP4 videos using VLC, only a black screen is
displayed, sometimes with the VLC logo still slightly visible in the
background. This problem appears to have been caused by the introduction of
ffmpeg5 into Debian.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download a .mp4 video. Any video should work, I personally use drone
footage from Pexels.
2. Open the video using VLC. Using Media -> Open File... from within the
GUI works, as well as using the command line (vlc ./video.mp4).
Expected result:
The video should play back properly, allowing audio to be heard and video to
be seen.
Actual result:
The screen remains black (or, if you open the video from the command line, the
VLC logo can be seen dimly in the area where the video should be). The
playback slider moves normally, as if the video was playing back properly.
Additional notes:
This bug was first discovered in Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu, however it is also
easily reproducible using Debian Sid. The bug exists both on physical and
virtual hardware on Ubuntu, and I have been able to replicate it in a virtual
machine on Debian.
