VLC update problem

[user]

VLC updated this week and now crashes whenever it tries to play a video. Anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions? Have tried to reinstall.

you could try resetting the configuration in VLC
Tools -> Preferences

Reset preferences at the bottom.
It will remove any customisations you might have...

Never changed any preferences from the standard installation...

VLC might have stuffed them up all on its ownsome, still worth a shot.

The other thing I might be inclined to look at would be the graphics drivers

I have got it working again by downloading an older version from the website.

Mine's working fine under Windows 10 with latest version 3.0.19. Just saying FYI, but anyway you've got it going so all's well.

As an aside to this post.

Wifey has hearing in the one ear only.

So the latest hearing aids have the ability via WIFI to transfer sound from the deaf side to the good side (have to be careful what
 
one says now).

Bonus also is her cellphone answers directly to the hearing aid.
