VLC not playing videos after KDE6 push

The Slowroll KDE6 push didn’t go smoothly. I had to reinstall everything from the CLI. There are still problems and and one of those is that VLC isn’t playing videos. As far as I know I have the latest Packman codeces. All I get is a green field where the video would be. Any suggestions?

Not a KDE desktop related issue though. I run the same distro and no issues here.

Your graphics environment could be relevant here. Show us the results from
inxi -SGaz

Also
sudo zypper se -i vaapi vdpau

A “green video screen” in VLC could be due to a broken VA-API video driver. Show what is returned by the following command as well
zypper info vlc libva2

When KDE 6 rolled out, things didn’t go smoothly. I couldn’t login so as one of the attempts to fix the problem, I switched from Wayland to X11. I had completely forgotten. That was the problem. I switched back to Wayland and VLC works.
