I checked VLC on my Ubuntu 16.04 notebook with all recent updates -it too will not display video from my HD Homerun tuner or video from a DVD. The DVD displays video using the 'Videos' application, just not using VLC. The only computer I have tried that VLC still displays videos on is one I have not updated for about a week, which leads me to think that a recent update must have borked something - if not VLC (same version is on all my PC's) then one of the dependencies.
I'll dig out my old 32-bit laptop to see if it is affected by this.
