It is probably available in your package manager. For example, on Debian: apt install vlc.

> VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///home/ch2a/%25U'

%25 is the symbol %, so file:///home/ch2a/%25U is /home/ch2a/%U.

> /home/ch2a/.config/VLC.exe.desktop --loop --fullscreen /home/ch2a/ClipsSilverDart/silverdart.xspf

Why do you run VLC.exe.desktop?

How do I find out what they are?

A h.264 raw stream has no timing information, but VLC want to timestamp every frame, so it will give a frame-rate by default of 25 (can be configured by --h264-fps=… , but that won't perfectly match your stream anyway). In addition, it will add buffering and adjust it whenever a packet is lost. Henc...

When you open a playlist (m3u), VLC considers it is a list of tracks to play one after the other (it does not know that it is actually a list of channels, so switching to the next channel does not make sense). So when a "track" terminates (end of file for a real track, connexion error on a...

Yadif2x should double the framerate.

Does it work better with --avcodec-hw=none?

> Granted, this is upscaled from DVD to 1440p within VLC Bilinear upscaling (like applied by OpenGL) has poor quality for such a big upscaling. On VLC 4 development branch, you can enable some better upscaling filters (at the cost of performance): https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_reque...

@UmBottesWillen In VLC, the playlist component used for playback is the same as the playlist used for transcoding. This design is problematic because there are a lot of differences between a playlist and a transcode queue, for example (not exhaustive): - the items already encoded must not be moved -...

So opening a video file opens VLC + a terminal? That's not expected. Did you associate some video format with some `.bat` file? Which VLC version?

You could pass the command line paramter --play-and-stop when you want the "play and stop" behavior, and keep the other behavior when you don't pass the parameter.

Does it happen on all mp4 files? If it is a specific one, please share the file.

In the top menu: Playback > Jump to Specific Time (or Ctrl+t).

3.0.17.4 is the latest release. It currently appears on videolan.org: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
For Linux, it is 3.0.17.3, because .4 fixes a UPnP regression on Windows only

It seems that "last/" has not been updated though on get.videolan.org.

There was an issue with VA-API last week in Debian sid. Now it works as expected. Could you retry?

AVI and MP4 are containers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container ... computing)

What impacts the image quality is the codec, not the container.

How did you convert? Which is the input codec, which is the output codec? Do you really want to transcode the video?

Durations are rounded to the second for display, so:

- 01:06:31 is maybe 01:06:31.40
- 00:22:15 is maybe 00:22:15.35

Therefore, the sum may be 01:28:46.75, rounded to 01:28:47.

> only happens on VLC 3.0.9 and up, and not on 3.0.8

Possibly from these changes: 8241910b7bac3781ea0c4eb1503a23560a7a9412 / e425b28e36c1963bc3cb6a5accc1d4680de74174?

Please share the file.

Could you share your sample, please?

If you move your mouse over the text field, there is a tooltop:

OK, thanks. Here are more details. So this options (`--swscale-mode` in command line) defines the scaling mode whenever `swscale` is used. When is it used? `swscale` is a "video converter", so it is used when the input and output format for a filter don't match for example. It is also used...

Could you post a screenshot of what you do to select your filter?

I can't find any lanczos filter exposed in the interface.

I can't reproduce (VLC 3.0.12 on Debian XFCE).

Does it happen on a specific video?

As a workaround, does it work if you pass avcodec-hw=vaapi in addition?
