Looks like it's not only Debian and Ubuntu but Arch as well. Thanks for that hint anyway - looks like we will have to ask our package maintainers. UPDATE: At least in Manjaro Linux, the conversion to MP3 works again with vlc 3.0.17.4 . Looks like checking for an updated vlc package indeed makes sens...

As you can see from the fact that nobody responded to the initial post for several months, this question seems to be of no interest to anybody.
We will have to accept that but some information about the reasons would be great.

Hello all, I am using VLC 3.0.16 under Linux. It looks like it is impossible to convert any file (no matter if video or audio) to MP3. Apparently, VLC cannot make use of an MP3 encoder in Linux. I tried with a MP4 video file (H.264/AAC) as well as with an AAC audio file. All I get using the guide fo...

File uploaded. Thanks a bunch for providing this opportunity.

No sample, no bug. We can't do magic.

I understand. But I do not want to post a link to this file publicly here in the forum. Is there another way to send the sample to you?

If you can't see the problem with other files, we also can't. Here is what mediainfo says about this file: General Complete name : vlc_test.720p.mp4 Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media Codec ID : isom (isom/iso2/avc1/mp41) File size : 984 MiB Duration : 30 min 2 s Overall bit rate mode : Va...

no file no test no fix Problem is that the video file in question is copyright protected. I did a search for a free sample video file with the same specifications (as shown in VLC) but there, the error did not occur. Is there a way to get more comprehensive audio/video format information than the o...

As I cannot update my previous posting, I add this information here:

Without avcodec included in the list of preferred decoders, Video playback also stutters and has color artifacts (vlc 4.0.0).

Same answer: libavcodec thinks that VDPAU hardware acceleration intiailisation failed. Indeed, it looks like the problem is that the ffmpeg packages in the official repositories are not compiled with support for vaapi or vdpau . A solution is to download the ffmpeg 4.4 release sources (VLC cannot b...

Provide a way to reproduce the issue At first, you need a video file with the following specifications: Stream 0 Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part10) (avc1) Type: Video Video Resolution: 1280 x 720 Buffer Size: 1280 x 720 Frame Rate: 23.976032 Decoded Format: <empty> Alignment: Upper left Basic Colors...

You can safely ignore those errors to the extent that you don't care about VLC not disabling the screen saver while playing a video. Having the screensaver disabled while playing videos would indeed make sense. How can I make VLC recognize that I have org.xfce.screensaver installed instead of org.f...

Hello,

just to provide some update. Meanwhile, faad2 has been updated to package version 2.10.0-1 but the problem with the sample rate of 48 kHz not being processed properly, still persists.

Kind regards,

Hello all, For setup and configuration purposes, I access my IP WLAN camera with VLC: vlc -vvv --fullscreen --rtsp-mcast --no-osd --extraintf=http:logger --verbose=2 --file-logging --logfile=vlc-log.txt rtsp://User:pass@192.168.178.40:554/Streaming/channels/101 This is H.264: a=recvonly a=x-dimensio...

Hello all, while trying to set up VLC for receiving multicast RTSP streams, I created a log file using the following command: vlc -vvv --fullscreen --no-osd --extraintf=http:logger --verbose=2 --file-logging --logfile=vlc-log.txt rtsp://user:password\@server-ip:554/Streaming/channels/101 Among a lot...

VLC (on Windows or macOS) uses FAAD 2.9.2. This is also available on Debian... Thank you very much for this information. Indeed, I must admit that I am a little bit confused: $ pacman -Qs faad2 local/faad2 2.9.2-1 ISO AAC audio decoder $ ls -l /usr/lib/libfaad* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 5. Mai 11:5...

Update: This behavior also occurs with the latest VLC version 3.0.11 on Linux. It looks like FAAD2 is not able to decode this kind of files as 48 kHz sample rate seems to be out of spec for this decoder. InTheWings kindly advised me to have a look at the possibility of libfaad.so being replaced. Unf...

Sorry to revive this old thread. The behavior described here still seems to be present in the current VLC version. Please let me kindly ask you for an explanation. Thank you very much and kind regards. DAC324 With which VLC version? To be honest, it is VLC media player 3.0.11 Vetinari (revision 3.0...

Hello all, just today, I encountered a few MP4 video files that would not play with audio on VLC on Linux. VLC version: VLC media player 3.0.10 Vetinari (revision 3.0.10-0-g7f145afa84) VLC-Version 3.0.10 Vetinari (3.0.10-0-g7f145afa84) Linux distribution used: DISTRIB_ID=ManjaroLinux DISTRIB_RELEASE...

Hi, I've tested many different videos (MP4, MKV, MOV, MP3...) : no regression with avcodec ! :) Any idea why faad has been choosen as default decoder ? Is it better than avcodec in some cases ? Steve. Sorry to revive this old thread. The behavior described here still seems to be present in the curr...

There is an open ticket that I hope can get
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/1393

Interestingly, this ticket is considered "resolved", however, the problem still persists. Does that mean that the developers refuse to implement MSS2 support into the VLC player?

Kind regards

Hello,

perhaps this can still help someone: Here is another working mirror for the wdm_a374.exe Realtek audio driver.

Hello,

I experienced the same problem. Switching audio output from DirectX to Win32 WaveOut seems to fix it.
Strange enough that the other players do not have these problems, however.

Kind regards,

There isn't working update in 0.9.x series. 1.0.0 has update feature.

Not yet. Just tried version 1.0.0-pre1-20090401-0028 Goldeneye, and there is still this annoying error message when checking for updates.

Kind regards,
DAC324

As I wrote, I can't tell for sure. But it is definitely a problem in 0.9.8a (which is, according to the download page, the latest official version).
