Disabling GPU assisted didn't help.

[packman] upgrade from 42.1 to 42.3 broke VLC and SMplayer
Upgrade I did only about a day before I had to prepare to be hit by Hurricane Irma, so I don't have much recollection of details of the process. Now I'd like to relax and watch some video, but it isn't working: VLC: files (saved HD MPEG-4 4:2:2 DVB streams) that played normally in 42.1 now are playing in monochrome except for random blotches of pastel overlays. Ancient mpeg files and .isos ripped from DVDs play normally. SMPlayer: trying to play same files that VLC formerly played OK makes SMPlayer complains MPV failed to start. IFAIR, I didn't ask for MPV to be installed, but my memory isn't that great. If I wanted MPV to open, that's what I would open, but as it has no UI for a file picker[1], it seems to be worthless to me. I haven't been able to figure out how to find logs for either app on disk. Whether there is any log or even anything that would have been expected to be logged I don't know. SMPlayer prints a tiny log window that cannot be resized large enough to see all lines, or copy them for reasonable pasting: /usr/bin/mplayer -noquiet -slave -identify -nofs -sub-fuzziness 1 -vo xv, -ao alsa, -nodr -double -nomouseinput -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null -nokeepaspect -wid 49115 -monitorpixelaspect 1 -subfont-osd-scale 3 -ass -embeddedfonts -ass-line-spacing 0 -ass-font-scale 1 -noflip-hebrew -ass-styles /home/moz/.config/smplayer/styles.ass -subcp ISO-8859-1 -subpos 100 -volume 100 -osdlevel 0 -vf-add screenshot -noslices -channels 2 -af-add scaletempo -af-add equalizer=0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 -softvol -softvol-max 110 /isos/AV/videos/Tmp/bbt1023CBS4100He-201709142000.ts Is there an up-to-date doc somewhere that explains what needs to come from Packman and what doesn't?
