VLC media player for Linux and friends Troubleshooting • Re: Playing video shows Black screen, but I can hear the audio



The video is black. Any player I’ve tried is playing a black video.
So I’ve extracted the video stream only out of your sample file and remuxed it to MP4 and we can see it has a very low bitrate, way too low for this resolution:

Code:

Format : AVCFormat profile : [email protected] settings : CABAC / 4 Ref FramesFormat settings, CABAC : YesFormat settings, Reference frames : 4 framesDuration : 8 min 37 sSource duration : 8 min 37 sBit rate mode : VariableBit rate : 158 kb/sWidth : 1 728 pixelsHeight : 1 080 pixelsDisplay aspect ratio : 16:10Frame rate mode : ConstantFrame rate : 60.000 FPS

And when opening the remuxed file with an hex editor we can see there is really not much info in the video stream:

This video is almost empty, hence black.
