This is an issue with recent drivers on modern hardware, especially seen on Nvidia GPUs. | |
We haven't tested AMD GPUs since we don't have those. | |
This is likely because the in-built video renderer on these GPUs have been broken in some form after a driver update, | |
and the only reason video players like VLC can play these videos using GPU acceleration is because | |
they utilize external third-party renderers that interface graphics hardware differently (like the stuff from K-Lite). | |
H2O plays videos directly off graphics hardware using those same broken in-built video renderers. | |
This is an issue that occurs regardless of using Windows 10 or 11. |
