        I guess if you use Raspbian you'll get a patches vlc version from the repository. I compile my LibreELEC fork myself & use the patch set for my vlc lib that is used by Emulationstation.

          I think I found another solution--I had the same problem. I converted the videos using Handbrake on its normal preset, and now they run fine with both sound and video. They run best using the OMX Player. I only converted about 70 videos, but they all show the previews correctly now.

          Something like this happened before with the videos from Stephen Selph's scraper, so I just thought I would try it and it worked!
