I downloaded VLC on my CentOS 6.
When I play a video by double clickig on finder, or using the vlc command in terminal, it shows a black screen. Sound works fine though.
Do you have any idea what could cause this problem?

Actually I solved with options, not code.
Tools --> preferences --> Video
and uncheck Accelerated video output(Overlay).
:D So simple;;

My VLC version is 2.0.5 just installed with CentOS6.4. My problem was no sound and or picture.
To get sound I did as advised:
Tools > Preferences > Video
Uncheck Accelerated video output (Overlay).
To get video:
X11 video output (XCB).

You probably just need to install some codecs. Try this:
yum -y --enablerepo=rpmforge install compat-libstdc++-33 \
libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay libdvdnav lsdvd libquicktime \
gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad \
gstreamer-plugins-ugly
Also check that you have the right output module chosen in vlc's preferences:
Depending on your setup and what kind of desktop/desktop effects you have enabled you may need to use a different output module, try a few.

Thanks for your answer, but I could not make it work. I installed codecs. And I am really new in multi media and linux, so can you tell me little more details about VLC video settings? Maybe I need some more packages? – Juneyoung Oh – 2013-05-21T02:19:48.627
I have installed all of thing you mentioned, ans it still does not work:( I found some articles which has same content with my questions, but none of them has correct answer. It makes me crazy. Is there any chance to fix this? – Juneyoung Oh – 2013-05-23T06:43:43.173

OK.Sorry. I just want to close this question;; And Actually what I did is just unchecking Accelerated video output(Overlay). Thanks for your advise and I'll fix it immediately – Juneyoung Oh – 2013-05-24T02:20:15.200
