Issue description

With plugin activated:
I am opening VLC and load an playlist.m3u (see attachment).
This playlist just has some udp multicast streams in it.
The first plays well, but when i am pressing "next" at the bottom,
the stream loads somehow and audio is working, but the picture is just green!

With plugin deactivated:
All is working like it should.

Can you please look into the issue?
Is there anything i can help, logs...?

Which OS is that? You kept the "Windows / Linux / macOS" placeholder text.

Sorry, added the info in the OP.

Ok, will test it later this week.

Can't think of why it would make the picture green off the top of my head.
Does the same happen when you use spacebar to pause/play?

Sorry, missed that you don't even pause, you just go to the next item in the playlist.

I have tried to reproduce the issue, but I'm unable to connect to the 239.200.199.x addresses in the playlist. These are multicast addresses, they are accessible to you due to the services you use. I don't have any multicast services, so VLC simply fails to connect to them. So I'm unable to reproduce the issue.

Hi @nurupo I ran into the same problem recently and it keeps reproduced for several days.
Here is the only scenario how can I reproduce this problem:

1. Add several videos to the playlist
2. Play first video
3. Wait until player switches to another video
4. See green screen but audio is still ok.

So this cannot be reproduced when just playing a video or pause/play it.
It 100% reproduced when player switches to next video in the playlist.
Also toggling checkbox "Pause/Play video on mouse click" in [Advanced -> Video -> Filters] affects this. Problems is not reproduced when checkbox is off but is exists when checkbox is on.

Here is my configuration:

• Windows 10 x64 version 1909
• VLC 3.0.8
• Plugin vlc-3.0-64bit-win.zip

Also I reinstalled VLC, downloaded the plugin again from releases page and copied dll file to video_filter again. Nothing helped.

Could you try manually deleting the whole %AppData%\vlc directory too? It's possible that the VLC uninstaller could keep VLC settings in there just in case you would install it back later.

Just to make it clear, in your reproduction steps, you never clicked on the video image to pause it? You can add several videos in the playlist, play the first one, not touch mouse and keyboard, and it's still reproducible?

Also, do you have any non-default settings set? Like a different video output module or any extra video filters you are enabling?
