[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..

Though my issue has been resolved I’ll try this and update this post afterwards

Edit:

I reinstalled the video drivers and rebooted twice to be sure but VLC wouldn’t play mp4 files unless I changed “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder”.
