Problems with new HTPC on Debian 12
cochinada:
I'm about to give up and considering installing Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.2 LTS (I prefer this vs. the 24.10 due to the extended support).
Just for the sake of curiosity I tried to play another video and it started with no artifacts but then I tried to fast forward it to a next chapter and the screen went totally black and I couldn't get out of it! It's too much problems to handle!
Before you say it, again the initial video plays fine with VLC.

If you went Ubuntu 24.10 all you'd have to do is just update to Ubuntu 25.04 when it comes out next month, then 25.10 when it comes out in October (this makes support timeframe reset). Personally, I'm not really a fan of the LTS versions of Ubuntu, they can also get a bit too out-of-date quickly if you're using newer hardware.

I might do that but considering the nightmare I'm going through with the upgrade and the changing of the HW, will that next upgrade from 24.10 to 25.04 be entirely automatic or do I need to struggle again?
Awesome Donkey:
Well, you'd be prompted there's an update. The upgrade process is usually pretty straightforward, e.g. this was the process from 24.04 to 24.10: https://www.technewsworld.com/story/upgrading-to-ubuntu-24-10-oracular-oriole-step-by-step-guide-177442.html

This is irrelevant - different applications can use different features provided by the GPU driver. MC expects a minimum feature set to be present, VLC uses a different set. That's all.
If you run different games on your machine, you may find that some of them don't work. The fact that game A works doesn't mean that game B must also work...
