Bug Description
Typically.. the first video will play, but subsequent ones show a blank black screen although the audio is heard.
Restarting vlc will usually allow you to see the video, but again, only for the first one.
The attached extract from .xsessions-errors is when trying with the 510 drivers, but the same thing happens with 515.
