This happens after upgrading from F25 to F26, when playing a video -- no image; only a green screen. Any ideas?
Which GPU do you have and what is your setting in vlc's "Tools->Preferences->Video->Output"?
Since having upgraded to F26[1], I facing similar issues as you describe them on 2 Haswell's IGPUs.
Playing with "Output", I found the only working one seems to be "XVideo output (XCB)" while all the rest - comprising "Automatic" - seem dysfunctional.

[1] I did not have these issue on the same machines with FC25. One of these machine is in a dual boot config with F25, so I can try FC25 (when time permits).
Thanks, Ralf. By setting "Output" to "XVideo output (XCB)", instead of "Automatic", did the trick. But should this be considered a bug?
Since vlc is packaged by RPMfusion and vlc has its own website and support page I would go http://www.videolan.org/support/ and ask them as they will probably have a more definitive answer. They even have their own mechanism for reporting bugs which, if it is a bug, would get faster results than putting a bugzilla in at RPMfusion and then just have them have to push it upstream.
