From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Maybe try a full update. Partial updates are problematic.
How do I do that?
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
According to Debian Wiki VLC has limited support of va-api for hardware acceleration. Try fixes in the wiki. It might help.
Thank you, this resolved my issue.
I read the wiki and changed "Hardware-accelerated decoding" to "VA-API video decoder".
My original problem was caused by the fact that this was set to automatic, now that it's set to "VA-API video decoder" VLC is able to play mp4 files again without any issues.
