Thank you, this resolved my issue.

I read the wiki and changed "Hardware-accelerated decoding" to "VA-API video decoder".

My original problem was caused by the fact that this was set to automatic, now that it's set to "VA-API video decoder" VLC is able to play mp4 files again without any issues.

I disabled hardware acceleration and VLC is able to play mp4 files again; however, is there a way to turn on hardware acceleration without getting these errors?

Update:

Changing “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder” fixed the issue. Now VLC is able to play mp4 files with hardware acceleration without any issues.

Tried it. I don't think there's anything to upgrade:

How do I do that?

I don't know if it updated my video driver. I just used this command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

I'm using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn't resolve the issue. Here's an excerpt from the VLC's log file:

glconv_vaapi_x11 error: vaDeriveImage: operation failed

main error: video output creation failed

main error: failed to create video output

avcodec info: Using G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0 for hardware decoding

How do I resolve this issue?

Up until yesterday, new posts would show up at the top of the page (sort type: hot) after a couple of minutes (and getting two or three upvotes). Today, however, despite an hour passing by and the posts receiving 3-4 upvotes, they didn't show up at the top of the page.

At the time of writing (four hours after posting this support request), the two posts I made on my community are now showing up at the top of the page but why did it take so long?

Can anyone explain this in greater detail? What does this mean? Is this good or bad?

I like 'em.

like Debian Stable has packages from this century

You can set up Debian 12 to use Flatpak. I use it and it works well.
