Recently I have updated my Ubuntu distribution to 18.04 LTS. Since then I can't play videos in VLC using the AMD graphics card. Though it was fine in 17.04. When I am running the command
DRI_PRIME=1 vlc Waking.Life.2001.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC-RARBG.mp4
the output I am getting is this-
output.png
But if I don't use DRI_PRIME=1, i.e. using the Intel graphics card the output is normal. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is related to hardware video acceleration.
The issue is caused by (at least) one of these alternatives:
- VLC is misconfigured.
- Hardware acceleration is not set up properly for your AMD graphics card.
Quick Fix
Turn off hardware acceleration:
- Go to
VLC > Tools > Preferences > Input & Codecs Settings. - Set
Hardware-accelerated decodingtoDisable.
This is just a cure of the symptoms, helps to see any video at all. Remember to enable the setting again, when fixing the real cause of the problem.
Check Setup
Install the packages vdpauinfo and vainfo.
These two are of great help when debugging hardware acceleration related issues.
Now open a terminal and run
vdpauinfo
as well as
vainfo
This gives a lot of insight to your current setup.
Fix
I can't get into details here, there's way too many possibilities.
Take the output from the previous section as an indication which route to take.
Most likely, you need to install drivers. Drivers related to VDPAU and/or VA-API.
