[packman] [PM] vlc 2.2.0-261.1 (openSUSE 13.2/x86_64) [Bug: No video on VLC 2.2]

[S.]

Hi there,

Since VLC was updated to 2.2, it has lost the ability to play .mp4 
videos. I am using a Thinkpad T530 with Intel graphics. I tried all the 
different video output modes, and none of them work. I also tried 
disabling hardware acceleration, but that did not help either. This 
seems to be a common problem:

Here is the output when I try to play an .mp4:
