Not got round to installing 3.0 yet..
So not sure if relevant, but is there the "restricted extras" in Lite Software to install.??
Just guessing.  :-\   :-\

I installed them but still no video.

Consider this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/668834/vlc-player-is-not-displaying-video-but-audio-works

Already done both but still no video :( Only sound
