Just FYI: these effects will be disabled on OS X 10.5 starting with the 2.0.4 release, since we figured that Macs capable of running 10.6 will be fast enough to display the effects in sane manner, too. I just tried 2.0.4 and the playlist scrolling is nice and fast. Thanks very much Felix. :) I did ...

Just FYI: these effects will be disabled on OS X 10.5 starting with the 2.0.4 release, since we figured that Macs capable of running 10.6 will be fast enough to display the effects in sane manner, too. So it is an actual "effect" and it'll be disabled for 10.5 in the next release? Excelle...

I've noticed that the slow scroll jerkiness comes back when the next item in the playlist is played. If I then go though the painful process of scrolling until everything is fast again, it'll get "reset" to the same initial slow jerkiness when the next item is played. (very annoying) There...

I have always set it to "Manual download only". Just for the hell of it, I set it to download album art, saved and restarted. There was no change in scroll speed ("fade in" jerkiness was the same). I set it back to "Manual download only", saved and restarted. It was the...

I've noticed that if the files are on a flash drive, the problem is much worse - so bad that VLC playlist is totally unusable. (I tried to make a short playlist for my Sansa Clip and it was very painful.) Obviously, this is related to file access time - and when the files are first displayed in the ...

Processor load on initial scroll of playlist is 40%-60% (both CPUs). Once every bit of the playlist has been scrolled through, scrolling is fast and load goes down to 20%. Audio playing / not playing makes no difference. It also doesn't matter how long I wait before scrolling. It always does this sl...

It's a PowerMac G5, dual 2.0 GHz, 4GB RAM, ATI X800 XT (256 MB) - running OS X 10.5.8. I am running the latest 2.0.3 version of VLC.

I've made a screen caputre video that shows what I'm talking about: http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/99/3h4.mp4/ Notice the "fade in" of the playlist, the jerkiness of the scrolling and the slow highlighting of list items. All of this started in version 2 of VLC. It is not in 1.1.12 or ...

The new playlist animation effects (fade in, select hightlight) are slow and annoying. Even a short playlist is tedious to scroll through when first loaded because of the slow animation effects. Is there a way to disable these effects? I just want a fast smooth playlist.

uhm, I've got to say frankly that this isn't implemented for the separate video output window. Let's do that!

Yes, please do.

A "Centre videos on screen" option might be nice too.

Is there a way to get VLC (2.02) to remember the video window position? The main window/playlist position is remembered on exit, but apparently not the video window. It always defaults to the same position, near the centre of the screen, causing big videos to go half off-screen - which is... dumb. I...

I think I've found the trick! It works if I shrink the "Author" field. It must have been continually shrinking the other fields to accommodate "Author". I had already tested it many times without luck, but it seems to be working fine now. So now, my biggest annoyance is the sorti...

Please tell me what you did to get the playlist column layout to work correctly. For me, column width for Name always goes to default width - which is way too short. As for the fullscreen controller position: just because QuickTime and iTunes don't do something, doesn't mean VLC shouldn't do it. If ...

No, sorry - forgot to mention: OSX Leopard (PPC).

Every single time I start VLC with multiple files, the order is not remembered and I have to click to order by "Name" every time for it to play in correct order. It would be nice if there was a way to remember order. It would also be nice if the fullscreen controls would remember position....

Every single time I start VLC with multiple files, I have to adjust the Playlist column widths because it doesn't remember my previous setting and the "Name" field is stupidly short. Also, the order is not remembered and I have to click to order by "Name" every time for it to pla...
