Comment 3 for bug 774581

the command vlc --no-embedded-video seriously affects everything: the video no longer plays (I hear the sound but see nothing but the vlc icon on the screen), the window moves from small to fullscreen but still displays the title bar and the default vlc icon while playing the movie (and still no image just sound). I cannot watch anything with this parameter. And what is worse I cannot get out of vlc from fullscreen unless I close the application.

This is the output from the terminal when running vlc --no-embedded-video&
