Hello,
I am looking for people who have maybe had a similar issue with the player. I must say right away that the VLC error I am getting is a consequence for something going wrong in windows and not the cause of the issue. I reinstalled VLC entirely and the issue is still the same.
Whenever I start a media file in vlc, I have it that after 2 or 3 minutes, it stops and apparently jumps back to the beginning and on top is the notification that I can jump to the point where I was if I click it, but it keeps flickering and same is true for the play button, it moves so quickly back and forth between the Play arrow and the II for pause as if it tries really hard to progress, but is thrown back every time.
Often it also happens right after opening the file really at the very beginning. One thing I noticed there is that vlc does not open in front as it should when it is working really fine. It opens behind the folder where I double-clicked the file. Sometimes also behind other stuff/windows I have open that I just need to minimize them or move them out of the way to see the vlc window.
The files are not corrupt. I tried them in Windows Player and they work fine there. But VLC has always been my first player and I dont wanna change.
I must say that I had another issue for a while that may have something to do with that. In the task bar, when I have a tab that includes two elements of the same class, like two word files or also two folders, then I often have the problem that if I click it, I can choose neither. Nothing happens when I click on any of the two previews or the previews do not even appear. This started happening around the same time like the vlc issue, so I don’t know, maybe vlc is somehow colliding with the task bar problem (even if I of course only have one media file open at the same time). By the way, it is also not important if it is a video file or an audio file or whatever and I have not installed any new software lately and also did full virus scan that showed no infections. I also tried a clean boot and the problem still shows up. And I also did sfc/scannow and dism. Did not help either.
Anybody has an idea or maybe faced a similar issue?
