Corrupt video playback in Kodi and black screen when emulating.

Hi!
I have a problem most likely related to each other. When I try to play back videos in Kodi the video just gets scrambled, it fast forwards very fast and looks generally corrupted and when I try to start a game in some emulator (for example mupen64plus) the screen just turns black.
Kodi seems to work really well otherwise, it got sounds in the menus and the menus are smooth when navigating. Same with emulators, the GUI (mupen64plus doesn't have one) works well and I can navigate the menus and everything but as soon as I start a game the screen turns black with no sound.
I tried OpenELEC (which is a distribution that has the main purpose of running Kodi) and the video playback works just fine. Sadly it's not very emulator friendly.
The packages I have installed are: "xf86-video-ati" (dependence: "mesa"), "xorg-server" (dependence: "mesa-libgl") and "xorg-xinit".
And the way that I the programs are usually from .xinitrc (example: exec kodi-standalone) and then xinit.
Hardware:
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A78M-ITX+ mITX
APU: AMD A10-7800 (the GPU part is GCN 1.1 aka Sea Islands)
All connected through HDMI
Any help would really be appreciated!

If you use windows (havent checked on mac but it might work)
Disable Direct3D acceleration in the player you are using.
If you use VLC media player, Go to preferences, Video, And under output, change from default to "Direct 2D video output"
If you use Quicktime, Downgrade to Quicktime 7.6 or upgrade to quicktime 7.7.3 and Go to
Edit --> Preferences -->Quicktime preferences.
Under that, go to advanced tab, and uncheck "Enable Direct3d acceleration" (3'rd box)
Fixed the problem for me
You're welcome

Premiere CS4 exported videos for ipod all show black screen when played

Hi,
I am trying to export a video for an ipod from an mp4 source file.
The project settings are set to ipod and so are the export settings. I get a normal video file (mp4) with the right resolution etc. The sync with itunes works without problems and i get the right thumbnail of the video in the Ipod menu.
But when i try to play the video i only get a black screen, the timer is running and i have sound.
I think i have tried all the possible settings. None of them worked.
Can you help me? Where is the problem?
Thank you

export to a regular .wmv file, or any other type you want.
now use a program like this one:

If you have deep pockets you can try Sorenson Squeeze.
or you can try this one

unfortunately this doesn't solve your problem the way you wish. ( a free fix )
I'd do a good Google search for answers, with some good keywords, and you may find
a solution that won't cost you anything.

Playback with sound and black screen

When I open a .mov film I filmed with my iPhone I only hear the sound but have a black screen. If I rewind the film or open it a second time, I can see something as well but never at first. Is that a bug or can I fix it somehow?
Your answer would be much appreciated!

How do I get rid of random screen flicker and black screen when using a late 2013 Mac Pro with a 4k Samsung 55" Display?

I have a new Mac Pro late 2013 and a 55" 4k Samsung display connected using an HDMI cable. For the most part the display is amazing, however, I get occasional screen flicker and black outs. Can anyone help? Could I possibly have a bad video card?

4K displays take more than half the bandwidth of a ThunderBolt Bus. So you may get better results if you are careful to place them on their own Bus. This article has the explanation of which port is using which Bus:

No LED light on front and black screen when trying to start up

Not sure why started my Mac just like everyday and I noticed it had frozen on start up screen was shaky but froze none the less. I tried to restart with the button on the front and nothing but the hard drive kicking in and the light on the button won't stay on like when it is up and running but will flash if you hold it and try restarting. Tried hooking up other monitor and the other monitor won't display so I don't think it is the monitor and like I said I can hear the hard drive and computer come on I just have a black screen and no lighted button on the front. Anybody have any suggestions. My iMac G3 is a 600mhz graphite running 10.4 and classic 9.2 but very rarely do I use the classic on that one as I have another just like it and they were networked together this one is fine. Help!!
iMac G3 600mhz Graphite Mac OS X (10.4.3) also runs classic 9.2

Thanks but that wasn't it. I replaced the battery and reset the PMU, still no luck. I've tried hooking up an external monitor still nothing, in doing all of this the person helping and I noticed that when you push the button on front to power up it doesn't light but I'm also not getting a start up chime, only the click of the hard drive then in pushing the button to power it off the light will blink and I think it is shutting down. Any other suggestions.
Thanks

I also have downloaded netflix "Silverlight" I believe successfully...at least acoording to the popup at the end of the Silverlight download "You have successfully downloaded Silverlight"

I was almost finished editing my video and suddenly my video files just show a black screen and wont play.

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Iphoto 9.5.1 shows mpeg-4 files as a thumbnail, but will only show as a black screen when you double click on it, other video files are able to be played and are viewable. Why?

iphoto 9.5.1 shows mpeg-4 video files as a thumbnail, but will not play the video. When try to play video it shows as a black screen. Other video files play ok- (mpeg, .mov). What do I have to do to view them? If I use imovie they will play, but I sometime like to view them in iphoto. It worked before I upgraded to 9.5.1 and 19.9.2 of the operationg system.

Select the thrumbnail of one of the videos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. That should take you to the original mpeg4 file.
If it does then try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

In Windows 8.1 Premiere Pro video imported clips shows up black screen in Source & Work space. Everything is updated on my PC.

In Windows 8.1 Premiere Pro video imported clips shows up black screen in Source & Work space. Everything is updated on my PC. They say it could have been a Windows update? Is anyone else having this problem and found a solution any suggestions.. Thank you.

Hello, thank you for your help. I finally was able to contact someone from Adobe on line.. It took about 1 hour on hold but I finally won the lotto...Lol. Pr.. /Project/Project Settings/General/ I had the (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA) and not the (Mercury Playback Engine Software Only) It only took 1 second for Adobe to figure it out...Lol.
Although I have a high rated Nvidia card that did handle the software for some time after a hack, I believe a Windows update may have altered my Premiere Pro CS6 settings.
Video card is Geforce Nvidia GTX 765M non compatible with (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA). Thank Ronin Edits and cvid01

Black screen when opening MJPG video in AE

Im getting a black screen when i open an avi video (mjpg codec) in after effects.
Video works fine in programs like windows media player and VLC
Also other videos work fine in AE, like H264 and FPS1 codecs (dunno what FPS1 is but i have a video and it says FPS1 is codec and it works)
oh yeah and im using AE CS5.5

Read my post again - AE doesn't handle DirectDraw CoDecs that require DirectX based hardware acceleration. And playclaw is one such CoDec. Whether or not it plays elsewhere is utterly irrelevant at this point. You need to convert it to something AE can use, that is a bog standard legacy AVI that uses the old GDI mode, or at least provides a playback component for that. Anything from an uncompressed AVI file to HuffYUV to an image sequence or even a Quicktime movie, just not what you have currently.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

I want image instead of black screen when video ends.

Hi guys,
I am wondering how you place an image at the end of a VC video. I tried placing several images at the end of a recording but it always ends with a black screen when it is produced. Here is the video I am working on and I want the last text you see to stay on screen instead of the black screen.
Thanks Gary Garnett

First few moments of the video render as just a black screen - Premiere Elements 9

Hello,
I'm putting together a short, 8-second demo clip of a particular moment of my project in Premiere Elements 9. The section involves two clips which were taken seperately, but are cut in half with the crop function so that they both play on the screen at once. There are also some position and brightness adjustments of one of the clips to ensure they match up.
However, I have begun seeing strange behaviour when I attempt to render the clip and as so far I have not been able to get a usable copy. When rendered as a .wmv, one of the two clips is inexplicably cropped from the bottom up to about a quarter of the height of the scene, despite not being so in the editor. Furthermore, when rendered as an MPEG, the format I would prefer the file to be in, although I do not get the first problem I get an issue where the first 20-23 frames of the video refuse to play in an external video player. I tried both windows media player and VLC. Instead, the section of the video appears as either a black screen, a black screen with a white line on it, or, if the video timeline is scrolled back to the start, the last frame viewed. The music clip which accompanies the video however still plays during this section, and the error is not seen at all in the editor. Oddly, if one of the rendered files is imported back into Premiere Elements 9, and played within the error, the 20-or-so frames will indeed play. It seems it is only the Premiere Elements editor that can play these frames.
I'm utterly at a loss here. I don't mind too much not being able to export as .wmv, as it is not my first choice, but if anyone could help me with the MPEG rendering I would be very grateful.
The source files are AVCHD (.mts) files, at a resolution of 1440x1080. There is only one "clip change" at the point where the video becomes viewable again, but this is merely where I have split the same clip to perform a brightness change, as I have many times in the video elsewhere.
Thank you for any help,
Black.

Here's a screencap of my interface, although I blurred out the video preview section (it doesn't contain anything relevant anyway).
I would like to avoid posting a copy of the video if I can help it - I doubt my actors would be too pleased with me posting them around the internet.
As for the project settings, when I first imported the clips Elements informed me that my project preset was incorrect for the clips and automatically picked one to fit them, so I'm sure that that's all set up fine. All the footage is from the same camcorder, except for a splash screen image, of the correct resolution, which flashes up at the end.
I have used assets of the same format previously and with no isses.

Certain videos give me only a black screen

Certain videos give me only a black screen, for example all CBS News or Cnettv videos. Most videos, including, for example, NBS News videos play fine, as do the commercials before CBS News videos, but when a CBS video is supposed to start the window goes black and there is no sound. The counter does not advance. I have Flash player Version 11.8.800.175; IE version 10.0.9200.16686, update version 10.0.9, on Windows 7. ActiveX filtering is off, Shockwave Flash Object is enabled. I have the same problem on two similarly configured Dell computers in two cities.

hello spearcarrier, this might be an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.
