When I try playing an mkv file with vlc I get: Codec not supported: VLC could not decode the format "av01" (AOMedia's AV1 Video)
When I close the message the file actually plays only the sound track BUT NOT THE VIDEO.
How do I fix the problem. Thank you folks for anyone who can help me.
ubuntu-restricted-extras
installed?snap info vlc
to see available versions, I would not use the 4.x edge version, it's awful. For 3.08+ snap runsudo snap install vlc --beta
You can have both .deb and snap vlc installed, the bigger vlc icon is the snap or gosnap run vlc
Alt. player that fully support av1 is mpv from a ppa.
