vlc not working because of broken 3d acceleration / video overlay

Description

Hi,

it would be awesome if the testcase "play a video in Kubuntu" could be added for the internal testing before a new version is rolled out, because every 5th new vb version breaks 3d acceleration & video playback.

  1. Open a standard live Kubuntu https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/20.10/release/kubuntu-20.10-desktop-amd64.iso
  2. Open any video (e.g. the one from https://pixabay.com/videos/coffee-beans-caffeine-cafe-45358/)

VLC loads and then crashes because the video overaly cannot be loaded (although the VM itself is 3d accelerated). If 3d acceleration is off, everything works of course.

Change History (2)

Can be closed, seems to be related to VLC. Works with current VLC nightly snap https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-snap/20210125-0622/vlc_3.0.12.1-32-g3aad852a05_amd64.snap

Closing since this isn't a VBox issue as per submitter.
