I confirm that with both of those settings, version 1.9.0 works for me.

It would be great if there was something like `cmd_selectionSquare` that I could bind to a key to choose a 1:1 ratio for the selection. (It could even be bound by default, maybe to one of "s", "q", "S" or "Q" if one of those is free.)

Here's a demo of the bug I'm seeing: I'd be happy to try to bisect the issue among the changes between 1.8.6 and 1.8.7, or to test possible fixes.

The workaround that @aucora suggested, using `useInternalVideoPlayer=false` in xnview.ini, works for me. Thanks for suggesting it!

Another point about my situation: I'm using a Lenovo X1 Extreme, which uses hybrid graphics (integrated Intel + discrete NVidia). I tested the machine in intel-only mode, NVidia mode, and on-demand mode, and the problem occurred for all three. Note sure if this is relevant, but I thought I would ...

and in 1.8.6, all is correct?

Yes. For me, 1.8.6 works and all of 1.8.7, 1.8.8, 1.9.0 all fail. And I'm on Ubuntu 22.04. So I think @aucora's issue is something different.

For the record, I just tested 1.9.0, and still have the same issue.

Ok, I have generated a log file. I tried to attach it here, but it wouldn't accept a .txt file. Please let me know how to send it to you.

By the way, I don't know if it is related, but the thumbnails for my videos always show a 2x2 grid of an image. I have attached an image showing what I mean.

I don't think `-dev` packages should be needed unless building, but to be sure, I installed `libva-dev` and `libvdpau-dev`. Unfortunately, this didn't help. Note that if I downgrade to 1.8.6, video playback works again, so I have the correct packages installed to make it work with older versions.

XnView: MP 1.8.8 64 bit, installed from .deb
OS: Linux: Ubuntu 22.04 64bit

In both 1.8.7 and 1.8.8, all videos I try to play within XnView don't play correctly. The audio plays and the progress bar updates, but the video just flickers between the same frames near the start.

Videos play back fine ...

I agree that XDG_CACHE_HOME should be followed, or at least some kind of cache directory should be used.

For others reading this, you can manually set the folder that contains the Thumb.db file in Settings > Integration > Paths. Since Thumb.db can get large and can be recreated, I think it's best ...
