Re: Video doesn't scale until manual resize (macOS)

Okay, I was able to build the QtVLC player in QtCreator and can reproduce the sizing issue; so off to file the bug report... This was the QtVLC.pro file I ended up with: TEMPLATE = app TARGET = qtvlc DEPENDPATH += . INCLUDEPATH += /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/include LIBS += -L/Applications/...

Re: macOS : How deploy vlc3 to avoid libvlc_new crash at runtime

Curious, where did you place the code to set VLC_PLUGIN_PATH? In player.cpp:Mwindow? Having similar problem with QtPlayer.

Actually, the compilation steps appear to be okay, but the app start fails: 15:45:54: Starting /Users/timothy/VLCSource/vlc-3.0/doc/libvlc/build-QtVLC-Desktop_Qt_5_15_0_clang_64bit-Debug/qtvlc.app/Contents/MacOS/qtvlc ... dyld: Symbol not found: _gll_noop Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/...

Re: Video doesn't scale until manual resize (macOS)

Okay, got the code as suggested above and trying to build through QtCreator 4.13.2, with Qt5.13.2, on macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina). The only thing I altered was QtVLC.pro to indicate paths on my system: TEMPLATE = app TARGET = qtvlc DEPENDPATH += . INCLUDEPATH += . \ ../../../include # /Users/timothy/VL...

Ok, will do, once I have some success at building this... Which forum best for discussing compilation issues? Any pre-built versions of this around?

VLC repositories

I've been using VLC for a number of years, but only recently started making use of the git repositories and working with the source code itself. With git, do I need to work with the most recent code, or can I clone a particular version, such as 3.0.11.1? I know where to download the source code for ...

Video doesn't scale until manual resize (macOS)

I'm using the VLC bindings for Python with PyQt5 on macOS, and I'm seeing an issue where a video does not scale up or down to fit the QWidget until it is manually resized; sometimes it does, but mostly it doesn't. All of the early VLC 3.0 versions work fine until I get to 3.0.7. The changelog sugges...

Re: [Python] Simple PyQT5 Video Player: VLC output scales incorrectly until manual resize. (Simple code example provided

Did you ever find a fix for this? I am facing a similar problem with VLC 3.0.11.1 on macOS Mojave and Sierra, which doesn't occur with VLC 2 or the early releases of 3.0. Sometimes videos do resize properly, but mostly they either don't scale up or don't scale down to fit their display window when i...

"Some" Macs not playing video with python bindings

One of the most frustrating things for me as a developer is creating code that works perfectly for me, but fails on some user's machine. In general, has anyone had difficulty with playing videos in VLC on a Mac using the python bindings? More specifically, I have a PyQt5 application for macOS (https...

Re: Cropping and transforming; [SOLVED]

Some documentation somewhere said that more than one filter could be used by separating them with a comma, so I tried "--video-filter=croppadd,transform", which didn't work. An inspired guess led me to try using a colon instead of a comma, which worked! Making the necessary changes to my p...

Re: Transcoding is shortening videos

Is this issue listed somewhere? Is it likely to be fixed at some point or is it out of the scope of VLC development? I had a similar issue with VLC playback where some (not all) videos seemed to stop just short of the end (I use 'play-and-pause' to pause on the last frame), but with 2.2.4 this probl...

Transcoding is shortening videos

VLC transcoding via the commandline is shortening my videos. I've been testing a number of different videos of different formats and durations on both Windows and MacOS and they all are being shortened by around 100ms (+-30ms). In many cases this doesn't make much difference, but in the video used i...

Re: Why does "zerolatency" turn my videos "green"?

I'm not to worried about the other players, but I was curious about the green result I was seeing in them. My problem was that I couldn't transcode very small videos without including the "zerolatency" option. I've since found that another solution is to use very small framecounts for fram...

Why does "zerolatency" turn my videos "green"?

Seemed like a good subject line to discuss over coffee! I've added "--sout-x264-tune=zerolatency" to my transcoding chain and while my resultant videos play fine in VLC, in other players I've tried they are mostly just green (or black) with a narrow strip of discernable video along the top...
