Public bug reported:
Hello!
I'm using vlc 3.0.9.2 Vetinari (revision 3.0.9.2-0-gd4c1aefe4d) on
Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
Whenever I try to open any video file with vlc, the vlc starts to play
the said file but there's no video. Instead there is a blank screen with
audio track playing, progress bar moving as expected. Everything is as
expected. It's just that there's no video.
This is the error message vlc throws:
```
$ vlc foo.mkv
...

```
I tried .mkv, .avi, .mp4 but got same result.
It should be noted that the files play perfectly with other video
players like smplayer, GNOME videos etc.
