Hi there
Never thought I'd see the day where a codec doesn't work properly in VLC but works in Windows media player !!!!
m2ts files (HD video - usually used in Blu Ray etc) cause VLC to freeze - Windows media player just plays them !!!! -- I'm talking about non encrypyed ripped blu ray stuff of HD video captured from TV.
I have to convert to mp4 or mkv anyway as PLEX won't handle m2ts files - and I have a lossless fast converter -- but I thought it was interesting that finally a glitch in VLC has shown up -- I've always thought vlc was for its price (FREE) the most feature complete video / audio player out there !!!!.
If there's a VLC solution it would be interesting. PLEX won't do m2ts files so I'm not sure what I'll have to use as a server once I start ripping 4K UHD video --but that's another topic !!!.
I've sent a bug report to VLC so we'll see what happens.
BTW same problem with VLC whether used on Windows or Linux.
Cheers

Can't say I've heard of m2t. Have you tried a codec pack such as Shark007? STANDARD Codecs for Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and 64-bit components: 64bit Codecs for Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.

That codec might be worth a look

Just tried an m2ts video file and it works correctly on VLC v. 2.2.4, 64bit. I'm using KLite codecs, but I don't believe they are necessary for VLC to render theses files. I use the codecs mainly for Groove video, m2ts files even works with Groove. hth
With K-Lite you can probably also transcode the files with Plex.
