A bunch of things updated at the same time. I had to reinstall 2.2.1-1~deb8u1 to get vlc working again. Later, I was able to upgrade to 2.2.2-4 and have it work correctly. So it probably has to do with underlying software rather than vlc. That or recycling X solved the problem. Thanks Jerry

You talk about 2.2.2 elsewhere, so which version of 2.2.2 did you test? How did
you install it? Did you rebuild it? You appear to have a mix of stable and
testing installed.

Bug#816245: vlc 2.2.2 shows black screen
Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.1-1~deb8u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Upgrading to vlc 2.2.2 produces a black screen when playing movie files.
Rolling back to 2.2.1 gives me a working video display.
Here is the output of version 2.2.2 of vlc -vvv movie.mkv:
