[Resolved] After updating through both APT and the Software Store, I can't play mp4 videos with VLC anymore. The screen goes blank for a second or two then the audio starts playing without the video..

Something is broken in your hardware acceleration stack, I’d check out the verification and troubleshooting sections here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration.

The tiny excerpt from VLC you’ve included doesn’t give us enough info to see what’s broken but taking a wild stab at it I’d guess it’s libva, mesa or a regression in amdgpu. Take a look at the system journal (and user journal) as well as the VLC log, something in the library stack is probably throwing a more useful error than we’ve seen yet.
