VLC plays but struggles with performance, then it's most probably not a VLC bug per se. It just means that you don't have hardware acceleration for the resolution and/or codex profile, and your CPU is not good enough for software decoding. I covered that - see my post above. Once the HEVC MS extens...

I have this problem too. I'd like to play these things on VLC since there are more things I can do with the video in VLC, but it's just not functioning on Windows 10. Curiously - VLC does play them on Windows 11 just fine, looks great. But my primary work machine is still running Windows 10 (& i...

I have the same problem. 10 days after all these reports & this broken version is still the default download / recommended upgrade?
I downgraded back to 3.0.18, no more crashes. Fortunately, thanks to the archive, this rework went smoothly.

I need to play / compare 2 videos more or less simultaneously. We're looking for glitches and quality problems in different post processing runs. I've tried the various methods people have used (& I'm pretty sure I was able to do this in some old version of VLC, maybe 5+ yrs ago). For example he...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18M_U54vwjABk4onCis_03tj7iZvzmyr7/view?usp=sharing Looking at the DVD of The Hustler (library borrow - probably 2002 edition if it matters) and came across a bonus feature of a series of stills. Can't figure out how to read them - the navigation is a double arrow but...

Thanks, but as you can see from the first message I had already done that.
However it seems to have fixed itself somehow in the past few days as the app was used.

I think I may have fixed this. I ran VLC once as admin - it then started to read the disc, but didn't like the region code So I had to do this https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=132677 to switch the region code to the appropriate one for the disc. Now seems to be reading ok. A little puzzled...

I followed the various directions & got blu-ray working about a month ago. (VLC 3.0.18 + Windows 10.0.19045). Friday it stopped working. I hadn't had a blu-ray disk in use for a few days. At first, I got a popup with a cascading set of errors VLC is unable to open MRL 'bluray:///E:/'. Check the ...

For reasons covered elsewhere, I had to re=install vlc 3.0.18 on Windows 10 (Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045) The re-install didn't install a taskbar icon, & the one that shows up when in use or when I force it on the taskbar is the "folded paper" icon. This is confusing - how to get th...

I figured out a solution, not entirely sure why it works open disc menu, check "no disc menus" select play main movie plays I found this in a suggestion to solve another problem. I don't think I would ever have discovered this if I hadn't been overly persistent, and lucky. It's not quite r...

Odd problem. DVD from public library - can't open the movie disc, special features disc ok. No problems with other DVDs (except hopelessly damaged ones). vlc pulses yellow on the movie progress band at the lower side of its window. Tried to log to logfile - nothing shows up, VLC appears to be hangin...

Is there a way to make a video playlist loop on iPad?
I can't seem to find UI to manage this.
Thanks, ==mwh

I'm experimenting with a gopro 10. I'm seeing stuttering videos: video + pixelated gray screen + video + pixelated gray screen &c I get this on one of the higher quaiity default modes (5.3k/30 - cinema). I believe this is an HEVC containing mode. I don't see this problem on Basic (1020/). VLC is...

The weird start up speed & start in the middle of the selection disappeared; now they start at the beginning & the speed is normal. Not quite. Something seems to remember where the last selection was stopped, & what the speed was. The startup for the new selection will often be same, bi...

Here's an interesting pair of developments - I finished the video series I was talking about, dumped them, & replaced them with the succeeding series. The weird start up speed & start in the middle of the selection disappeared; now they start at the beginning & the speed is normal. On th...

I've done what I can figure out how to do. I don't see any settings that look related that I can twiddle. Maybe it's the finder that is up to no good. I had a whole complement of videos (20-25) for a class that I put on the tablet to work thru while I had to take a trip, & every one has acted li...

Here's another puzzler: The android finder always starts the selected video about 1/2 way in, or just before the hour mark, at about 2.2x speed Once the selection is played, if you go play it again, it starts it at the beginning, at normal speed It seems like, if I'm playing the video selection at 1...

> The master index Ok, I see that in the audio silo The video silo doesn't seem to have that. But what it does do, which is different from the audio behavior, is that after the video selection finishes & you leave it alone for a while, it flips to the audio playlist. (Not sure if this will happe...

> I pass on the first topic, as I don't play videos on my phone. You might be right that you can't do anything else if your screen is given over to the video. It's the same if you're playing an audio track. You can't stop & go play the video directly. The finder has to do it for you. (AFAICT) I ...

> It is actually easier to move between audio and video, as the top-level selector is a new pane, usually at the bottom of the screen. No, I don't see anything like that at all. Once it's playing a video, I can't stop & go play the audio tracks. Or vice versa. I can get to them thru the finder, ...

I've just started using VLC on an android tablet (Samsung galaxy). I'm finding it real hard to navigate (mostly I mean VLC on this platform, but android is not the easiest thing to deal with either). The app seems to get stuck in silos - you find yourself in some mode, & there's no way to get ou...

I'm confused about the status of 2.1.4 on Windows. 2.1.4 is advertised on x64 apps - it wants to download it. It isn't present on the regular download page http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html but you can find it if you look on the ftp site The windows version available is x64 only tho ...

VLC - 2.05 Windows 7-x64 I need to capture both video and audio. The URL doesn't look like a stream to VLC - it doesn't respond to it - but it does have a stream in it when browsers connect to it. It has audio. Both video & audio are required. I tried screen capture techniques (capture display +...

VLC-2.05 platform is Windows 7, x64 Files playable in Windows Media Player are desired. Capture & convert a stream (like a youtube) to ASF format "Video - WMV + WMA (ASF)" (This profile usess WMV2 and WMA2 - I don't know what distinguishes this from WMV1 & WMA1) I give the end prod...

ps seems to be a container format that vlc produces when it captures some (like a youtube flash or mp4 video). I will look at your suggestions when I am visiting this set of laptops again & see if I learn anything. However, I don't understand this: "turning on/off Accelerated video output u...
