[vlc-devel] Bug: VLC 3.0.20 screen blinking issue on AMD 7000 + RTX 4050

[Steve Lhomme]

Hi,

You should report issues at https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues

Also provide some debug logs so we can tell if there’s anything suspicious.

Also you may use our nightlies in case it’s already fixed: https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-win64/
You may also try the VLC 4.0 https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc/nightly-win64-llvm/
