The VideoLAN Forums

Just hangs, basically. Maybe in the v1.x I seem to remember a little time indicator that showed you when the video stalled and was buffering. Although, that may only have been when I was streaming the video over my WLAN. Anyway, I didn't see that in v2. The files I was viewing were local on the mach...

Not sure exactly what you mean by formats, but if it's file type you're asking about, they were .avi or .mkv. I've downgraded to VLC 1.1.9 and I don't have any problem seeking. I think I'll stick with the old version for a while, before upgrading to 2.x again. I love VLC, but v2 has some serious iss...

Ever since upgrading to version 2.0, I've experienced problems when seeking. The problems are exacerbated when seeking throughout large files. The performance is very bad. Sometimes it takes 10 seconds or more for the video to recover after seeking a long way (e.g. from start to mid-way through a 60...

Of course! Why didn't I just re-map the keys before?! I simply remapped = to be the Faster hot-key. It works great now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ok, so I upgraded to version 2.0 and the problem is still there. Pressing the equals (=) key sets speed to 1.0x, but pressing the plus (+) key does nothing. Minus key works as expected. Maybe it's the keyboard I'm using -- it's on my laptop. It's a combo +/= key. Pressing the + (plus) key does nothi...

Hmm, doesn't seem to be focus related. After clicking on the speed increase button on the UI, I encounter the same issues. Pressing the minus (-) key works fine, but pressing the plus (+) key always just sets speed to 1.0x.

Anyone?

Yes, local files of course. As I mentioned, the buttons on the interface work, just not the keyboard.

It should also be mentioned that the minus key works for me fine. However, the + (plus) key always sets the speed to 1.0x, regardless of what the speed was.

I notice that if I press the + (plus) key, the speed control maxes out at 1.0x. Why is this?
I can of course speed up by clicking my mouse pointer over the increase speed button, but why doesn't the + key go past 1.0x??

Also, does the new version (2.0?) resolve this problem?

I notice that right-clicking a Shortcut to an Mp3 file and choose Play with VLC media player resolves shortcuts, but it only works one file at a time. In other words, if I highlight a group/list of shortcuts to Mp3s, right-click and add to the VLC playlist, only the first item in the list is added t...

My mistake!

Double-clicking on the shortcut in an Explorer window (with VLC as the default player) plays the song. However, if you drag a shortcut file to the playlist window, it won't resolve the shortcut. There's the problem.

Hey guys, I would love it if VLC player would recognize Windows shortcut files to Mp3 files. For example, if Windows Media Player is your default player and you double-click a shortcut to Mp3, the player resolves the shortcut and plays the song. Try doing this with VLC and you'll notice that it trea...
