the x264 av1 file plays only audio on vlc but works with flaws on mpv: on mpv I get audio and video, but every 5 to 6 seconds it’s like instead of getting 24 fps I get 22, the user noticing the missing frames.

Is this a hardware issue? software?

debian 12.11, vlc 3.0.21 flatpak, mpv 0.40.0 flatpak

what do I do?

    If it’s AV1, you need both the hardware that can decode it, and the right libraries for it. x264 is not the same as AV1. AV1 requires lots of processing power, that’s why you see the slow down. But with the right gfx card (and libs), it can decode it fine. What’s your gfx card model exactly?
