Re: Don't have 2FA keys for code.videolan.org

I understand why it’s there, but it really makes your phone key to your existence. You lose your phone and you might as well be a fraud.

I’ll wait a few days and then try the dev mailing list or reach out directly to whoever I can.

Don't have 2FA keys for code.videolan.org

I only seem to have 2FA keys for gitlab.org and not code.videolan.org, so I can't connect. I did try going through my gitlab.org account, but I still get the 2FA prompt.

Can anyone indicate how I can work through this issue?

Re: Video with external subtitle file fails to play

Thanks.

Would it better behaviour for VLC simply to disable subtitle files in this scenario, rather than not play? I’ll discuss with the devs and see.

Either way, the conversion did help.

Re: Video with external subtitle file fails to play

I just found that converting the .ts to .mp4, using Handbrake seems to have resolved the issue. I I also tried simply repackaging with ffmpeg, using a script I previously wrote, and the result also works: #!/bin/sh filename=$1 src="${filename}" dst="${filename%.ts}.mp4" echo ffmp...

Video with external subtitle file fails to play

I am running into an issue that appears to impact both VLC on the Apple TV and VLC on macOS, whereby if a given subtitle file is present the video will fail to play. Other notes: - Video is of type .ts, using H264 video code and ADTS audio codec - Removing the subtitle file results in the video play...

Re: VLC to move to Apple Silicon Code?

There are plans, but no defined timeline. I don't know if any of the devs have access to an M1 Mac at this point?

In the meantime I would be curious to know if anyone experiences any challenges running VLC with Rosetta 2.

Re: MKV video file - Only one audio tracks showing since updated to tvOS 14

You can repackage your MKVs, without transcoding, but it will need user of the command line:

Without access to a problematic MKV it will be hard to investigate the issue.

Status of #videolan IRC channel?

Can anyone indicate what the status of the #videolan IRC channel is? I did not find it on irc.freenode.org.

I have been out of the loop for a bit, so I am not aware if it has been shut down or something else?

Re: MKV video file - Only one audio tracks showing since updated to tvOS 14

Can you indicate whether you see this issue with MP4 files? If you don't have any, you could try converting one with Handbrake (just remember to include the subtitles). Also, what is the size of the smallest MKV file? Unfortunately VLC for tvOS doesn't seem to have any message logs that I am aware o...

Re: Getting tired of subtitles and output resetting randomly

So it would seem changing the output causes VLC to lose the output specific settings? I am not in a position to validate that myself right now, but I'll see if I can reproduce to open a bug report.

Just for info, which VLC version, which macOS version and which Mac mini model?

Unless you are doing full screen on the second display, the menu bar will show. This is something that is more of a macOS behaviour. For details:

Re: 4k on Mac

VLC has been marked '4K' ready since version 2.1 (See: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/releases/2.1.0.html). A brief test with MacOS X 10.12.5 and VLC 2.2.6 on a 2014 MacBook Air, shows that an MPEG4 video (4096x2306) using H264 works well, but an MKV video (3840x1632) using H265 stalls, as does anothe...
