Re: Merge video clips not working

I'm using 3.0.7.1 for Windows, same issue as described in earlier comments. Moreover, the command line option to merge videos also does not work.

If the feature can't be fixed, can the feature be removed? So as to not mislead users.

What Happened to VLC?

I am a VLC user for... oh boy ages of "decades". To me it was always the very best, lighter, compatible and useful media player. Keep in mind I also am not a update maniac, I just update in the face of a public exploit, considerable features improvement, etc. Usually once or twice a year. ...

Re: [3.0.6] Losing focus in fullscreen, hotkeys won't work until clicking

Even if unchecking that option helps with the focus/control bug this is still a (major) regression that should be dealt with. I am also using Mate/Marco and wonder if that's related. If it would be more common there would probably more reports on it but I could not find any.

Re: Updated my VLC player and it glitched out

I haven't tested setting directX instead of "auto" as suggested above. But it seems to be a workaround instead of a "fix". IMHO HW acceleration "auto" should work in 3.0.7, as it did in 3.0.6.

Re: Building VLC 3.0.6 for Windows on OpenSUSE Leap 15

It didn't seem to get installed with wine, and I installed every package I saw.

In the end I just gave up and installed Ubuntu in a virtual machine. Getting the build instructions working on Ubuntu was still a struggle as there are several issues not mentioned in the guide that have to be overcome.

Re: Building VLC 3.0.0 rc2 from the nightly source archive...

So just to add, that the other thing missing from the rc2 source archive is the share/hrtfs folder.
Good point too. I will fix.
This is still missing from the tar archive of the release, vlc-3.0.6.tar.xz

Re: Error following the Win32Compile Wiki page

Ugh. Apparently that huge effort was just for the plugins! The guide could be clearer.

Now, I've got to install a newer version of Ubuntu and rerun everything because 18.04 LTS doesn't offer the GCC 8 toolchain which is needed to avoid errors I'm hitting.

Serious crash in VLC reported 11 months ago, why no progress?

I reported a crash in VLC on Windows almost a year ago, including full repro instructions and even sample media. To avoid the crash I have to switch to software rendering, which is inefficient.

Will someone ever take a look at this bug? Is "Steve Lhomme" even a real person?

The reason this doesn't work for me is because I would import multiple streams from multiple sources, and each of them requires to be in a different country.

Proxy setting for network stream

Bonjour,

I would love to be able to set proxy settings when loading a network stream. The reason for this is to evade geo-blocking for each import.
