Thanks a lot friend.

I wasn't very sure about adding that ppa to my ubuntu. So I downloaded mpcdec source from it. And built the debs with pbuilder. My VLC is playing musepack files as I write this message!

I am also using vlc 2.1.2 from ubuntu 14.04 I haven't tried playing any APE files yet. But both version of vlc from ubuntu 14.04 and from the stable branch PPA can't play MusePack files. Version 2.0.8 plays OK on Ubuntu 13.10

Same problem here. Also using Windows 7 64 bit. VLC 2.0.8 doesn't have this bug!

Rémi, I see you changed the flags to "pa_stream_connect_playback" from rc1 to rc2: /* FIX flags are only permitted for PCM, and there is no way to pass * different flags for different formats... */ flags &= ~(PA_STREAM_FIX_FORMAT | PA_STREAM_FIX_RATE | PA_STREAM_FIX_CHANNELS); Unfortun...

Then I will try Ubuntu 13.10 when it is released in about a month. Since GNOME will be upgraded to version 3.8 from version 3.6 (the version in Ubuntu 13.04). This might work with the newer release. If it doens't then I will report this issue to Ubuntu's launchpad. BTW thanks for all the work you ha...

Do you mean spdif-output?

I haven't tried VLC RC on Windows yet! However I will try it soon.

It seems that pulseaudio developers are giving a high priority for the problem described here. Check this webpage -> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68952 We will have to wait for the pulseaudio 5.0 release to try out.

To redirect all the output to a file and display it simultaneously on a terminal, use the following command syntax: ./command.sh 2>&1 | tee file.txt Replace the relevant parts by your command and filename.

Tried removing the patch from here https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/9118 Then recompiled and reinstaled VLC. This problem doesn't happen anymore! So I guess VLC is doing something wrong to the GNOME screensaver (when removing the module) that makes this happen.

I remember not having this issue with VLC 2.1.0-rc1! Then I applied the patch mentioned on this ticket https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/9118 I also updated NVIDIA graphics drivers. So one of these is to blame. The patch makes VLC interact with the desktop. So as I see, it is the main suspect! BT...

Tried to compile VLC 2.1.0-rc1 against ffmpeg 1.2.3 and got this result: [0x180cc88] main playlist debug: incoming request - stopping current input [0x7f7d14000f68] main input debug: control: stopping input [0x7f7cf4001248] main vout display debug: auto hiding mouse cursor [0x180cc88] main playlist ...

I am getting an error from VLC (2.1.0-rc1) every time I press the stop button while playing a video file. Right after this my desktop freezes for several seconds. This is the output: [0x901c88] main playlist debug: incoming request - stopping current input [0x7f0d0c003b68] main input debug: control:...

Unfortunately no patch yet! What do I need to atempt a fix on this? C programming is all I know. I don't have any experience with C++ nor Lua! With good documentation from both pulseaudio and VLC this should be feasible.

Regards!

I am using Unity. Should I write this information on the bug report?

I should point out that this works in previous VLC versions.

Edit: ticket here -> https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/9310

Yes both VLC versions where compiled against the same pulseaudio version. And both are running on top of the same pulseaudio version.

Power management daemon inhibition isn't working at all with vlc 2.1.0-rc1 Even for videos. I am using vdpau. However I don't know if that makes a difference! I will try again with vaapi and no hardware acceleration just to be sure.

I don't know what you mean by "both sides"! I am running Ubuntu 13.04 which comes with Pulseaudio 3.0 by default. However I compiled and installed Pulseaudio 4.0 myself! VLC was also compiled on this very same machine. So against pulseaudio 4.0! Just like I did with VLC 2.0.8 This is the o...

I compiled and tried VLC 2.1.0-rc1 in Ubuntu 13.04. However I no longer get AC3 nor DTS passtrough working! It works under previous VLC versions like 2.0.8 On previous versions of VLC I had to select "Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output" on pavucontrol. Then ticking the "AC3" and &quo...

Not working again!

Thanks for you reply.

I found the code that is causing the failure in the debian rules. If I comment it, in theory it should work, even with the debian method. It is compiling as I write this post. Question now is. Is it OK for vlc-nox to depend on libX11?

Thanks.

I am trying to compile VLC git with vdpau support. However this compile error cam up: # Check that we did not install a plugin linked with libX11 or # libxcb in vlc-nox BORKED=no; \ for file in $(find debian/vlc-nox/usr/lib/vlc -name '*.so'); do \ if objdump -x $file | egrep -q -e '^ +NEEDED +libX11...

I enabled the "Inhibit the power management daemon during playback" option. However this completely inhibits the monitor for being turned off even while playing music files. This is to be expected while playing videos. But I would like the monitor to turn off while playing audio files. And...

These suggestions worked for me.

Hi.

I noticed that VLC 2.0.5 doesn't play MPEG1 videos when GPU decoding is enabled. With GPU disabled it plays fine. The beta version also manifests this issue. While version 2.0.4 doesn't! Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance.
