Media video not playing easily

dunwich42

Hi Everyone, thanks devs for the awesome software.
We recently upgraded from Win10 (v3.1.2) to Win11 (v3.1.7) and haven't been able to get videos playing easily in the latest version.

When we add a video and double-click on it, it doesn't play automatically (which I'm sure is just a setting we can figure out), and when the media play button is clicked the video's audio will play but not the video. Often, if we use the media buttons to stop the video and restart it, it will then show on top.

We have VLC v3.0.21 installed with OpenLP 3.1.7 and when running in debug mode we see
MainThread openlp.core.ui.media.vlcplayer.VlcPlayer DEBUG VLC version: b'3.0.18 Vetinari'
and I see that vlclib v3.0.18 is installed with OpenLP.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get videos playing with Windows 11?

Thanks,
Darren.

The default in the current version of when adding a video to a service is Autostart - inactive. This is regardless of the Media setting "Start live items automatically"

You can change the Autostart to active by right-clicking on the item:
