Re: VLC 3.0.12 hangs after pausing / single-stepping through MPEG .ts file

Tried everything else mentioned here & elsewhere. Turning off Fast Seek, counterintuitively, fixed it. I thought your fix might have worked for me too, but when I check on my Win 10 laptop, the setting was already turned off. So on my PC, it's something else which is causing it. I've ticked the...

Re: VLC 3.0.12 hangs after pausing / single-stepping through MPEG .ts file

Please try with forcing the video output module to Direct3D9. No it still fails. Not as easy to provoke, but it does happen. Once I had pressed frame-by-frame, I could see successive frames for as long as I kept clicking on the button, whereas with Output=Automatic, the screen stopped updating afte...

Re: Delay In Video After Jump with latest version

I raised this as https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=157186. My symptoms are similar but not identical: - it is provoked by pressing the frame-by-frame button several times to single-step through a video; pressing pause/play several times doesn't seem to cause the problem - when I re...

Re: VLC 3.0.12 hangs after pausing / single-stepping through MPEG .ts file

I can reliably provoke the problem by pressing the Frame by Frame button about 10 times. When I then press Play, the sound resumes and the position counter starts to increment but the picture (including DVB subtitles, if enabled - with Output=Automatic rather than DirectX) remains frozen. I can rep...

VLC 3.0.12 hangs after pausing / single-stepping through MPEG .ts file

VLC 3.0.12 often hangs (picture remains frozen, no sound, but timeline advances normally) if I am playing a .ts file (MPEG 720x576x25) recorded off-air from UK television. Once this has happened, VLC sometimes stops responding to a Close Application (X in top right-hand corner of window) and has to ...

Re: How to add subtitles as a DVB stream (not burnt into the video)

Ah! So why is there an option "DVB subtitle" (as an alternative to T.140) on the Subtitle | Codec control of the profile? I thought this was where I chose the format of subtitles I wanted to add to the output file. I naively thought that if VLC could render text into pixels for displaying ...

Pulsing sound (random step-changing sound level)

I've noticed that VLC produces random step-changing sound level when playing .ts or .wtv files that are recorded from DVB-T2 (HD broadcast: 1920x1080x25 H264). It doesn't do it for DVB-T (SD broadcast 720x576x25) files. It sounds as if the volume of the video is suddenly being turned up or down a bi...

This problem report can be closed.

VLC 2.2.1 seems to have problems playing .dvr_ms files (but .wtv files are OK) which played fine with VLC 2.1.5.

Re: DVB-T regression in 2.0.2 and 2.0.3

Has anyone raised this officially as a serious bug, in such as way that it will actually get looked at and fixed? That would get round the problem of "I don't think the guy that last changed the DVB-T plugin is reading this forum though".

Ah right. Looks as if this is a bug and that as of April, no bug had been raised.

How do I raise a bug so this gets looked at?
