I like using the latest, so I have been using VLC-2.2.0-beta for a while. The latest update on the beta was 10 months ago, while the 2.1.x has had 5 maintenance releases since it came out. How is the development going? No new beta for so many months. With a lot about UHD/4K lately, I started to thin...

I am unsuccessful trying to get streaming to work. I have managed to get a connection to my server/desktop running VLC using "VLC Stream & Convert" on my Android phone/tablet, but unable to play anything. Every time I try to browse for files it crashes. Running Opensuse 12.3, KDE 4.10....

Any chance it will come back?

All you need is FLAC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mp3HD#Pros_and_Cons A good read on the subject. Relfects exactly what I think on mp3HD and why we don't need it. http://bfpower.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/mp3hd-or-flac/ and http://arstechnica.com/business/2009/03/new-lossless-mp3hd-format-trades-conv...

You mean 2.1 ?

In Opensuse VLC repository there has been 2 version. The stable and the beta.

For Opensuse 12.2 VLC repository
vlc-2.0.5-5.4.x86_64.rpm
vlc-beta-2.1.0-2013012802.3.x86_64.rpm

The latter is missing from the 12.3 repository.

Seems someone forgot to put vlc-beta into the new Opensuse 12.3 repository?

Been using the vlc-beta for a while now.
Somehow after my upgrade from Opensuse 12.2 to 12.3 vlc playback is not as smooth as before(when HW-acc is enabled). So I want the beta back.

2 year old post. No one having trouble with HW-acceleration with VLC any more? VLC is terrible with playing HD video. Time seeking is a pain. CPU load is 50-80%. While using MPlayer/SMPlayer with VDPAU is a smooth experience. Seeking is instantaneous, while VLC freeze for 1-3 seconds between seeking...

I have a lot of memory, isn't there any way I could have VLC buffer the video in memory to make seeking faster?

Is there possible to increase VLC performance on HD video? While using the seeker on HD video (720p bad, 1080p worse), it is not very smooth like on SD video where seeking is almost instantaneous. As it is now its like it pauses for 1-2 seconds before starting to play after I have jumped forward. So...

I have the same problem with VLC 1.1.12, on almost every audio output module.
If I use the output module Simple DirectMedia Layer the sound is good.
