I can find why I can't play any mkv file with vlc, it seems there is a drawing error, is there a workaround or something ? I have optimus (intel+nvidia) and i'm using bumblebee with last nvidia driver 358.

Ok all i had to do according this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199749 is to launch vlc with vlc --avcodec-hw=vaapi or to change vlc settings in "codec" and choose vaapi via x11 instead of vdpau.

If you like your system clean, you can also remove vdpau drivers (packages look like vdpau-driver-all:amd64 and mesa-vdpau-drivers:amd64). This will force the use of VAAPI.
