Video not playing in OLP 2.16 via VLC on Win7 SP1
Hi - I have decided to take the plunge and put windows 7 on our HP530 church laptop which was previously running XP.
This was done with a clean install on an SSD so that we still have the old HD which can be swapped back in if required.
Specs:
HP530 laptop
Windows 7 SP1
OLP 2.1.6
VLC 2.2.1
Latest manufacturers video driver.
When attempting to play a video the second screen is black but the audio plays. The video plays fine natively in VLC.
The video sometimes plays in preview but most of the time is blank. I have tried mp4, flv and wmv videos, all with the same result and all play natively in VLC.
I have rolled VLC back to 2.0.4. as suggested in a post regarding this issue on XP. No change.
Rolled OLP back to 2.0.5 and the videos work fine with both VLC 2.0.4 and 2.2.1
Despite this small hiccup this is still a fab resource.
Any ideas?

I am using Win7 x64 with VLC 2.2.1 & OLP 2.1.6. I have used FLV and MP4 and so far have not encountered this issue yet on my laptop. I am currently running it for my cell groups and will soon roll out in church. It's going to be awesome!
I do not believe it is a 32bit or 64 bit OS dependent thingy (I'm not the developer though).
May I suggest something for you to try out?
Download and run Revo Uninstaller (http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html)
Uninstall VLC
Uninstall OLP
Navigate to "C:\Users\<Your Login ID>\AppData\Roaming"
Delete "OpenLP" folder
Reboot
Install VLC 2.2.1
Install OLP 2.1.6
Try this and see how it works for you.
If it still does not work, try reducing the screen resolution from 32bit to 16bit and see if that helps.
Just be careful, this is your data directory! If you don't back it up, you'll lose everything!
