Memory issue when recording

I guess this is system specific, hence this subforum. Using VLC V2.2.1 64bit on Windows 7 64bit. Testing recording, by hitting the "record" button in the GUI. Using a DVB-T source, things work well and as expected. (Except that the screen dimensions in the recorded file are wrong, much lik...

Re: Disable album art completely

Wholeheartedly agree here. This is just plain annoying. I have absolutely no desire for a user folder full of a ton of Youtube thumbnails in directories. Sure, you can set up system cleaning software (such as CCleaner) to purge unwanted cache stuff like that, but why on earth would Youtube thumbnail...

Re: VLC 2.2.1 does not apply aspect ratio to anamorphic DVD snapshots

Found another snapshot bug (I think), not sure if this is related or not. When playing a widescreen 16:9 source, and then using the Video -> Crop function to limit the screen output to 4:3, the screen output is correctly cropped while centered (i.e. the sides are cropped off), but taking a snapshot ...

Re: VLC Chrome Plugin not working

It's what I read between the lines in statements like this, concerning their click-to-activate approach: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/02/28/update-on-plugin-activation/ "To provide a better and safer experience on the Web, we have been working to move Firefox away from plugins." ...

Re: VLC Chrome Plugin not working

There is not going to be a permanent solution. NPAPI is deprecated and will be phased out of Chrome by December. For the time being you can try to manually reactivate it via the Flags interface (try chrome://flags/#enable-npapi ), but in the long run the only solution will be to use respectively old...

Re: VLC 2.2.1 does not apply aspect ratio to anamorphic DVD snapshots

Same here. It's been doing that since V2.2.0, on DVD playback and also playing IPTV and DVB-T (which thankfully plays well again otherwise) television. For example, a regular SD widescreen 16:9 source used to result in snapshot dimensions of 1024x576, and 4:3 source in 768x576, now it's always 704x5...

Re: CANNOT play DVD's on VLC 2.1.2 with Win7 64

Ditto on the DVD not playing issue. I accidently posted my issue in the Mac forum, maybe a mod can move it here?

Re: Can't play DVD

Edit: Apologies for posting Win stuff in the Mac/iOS corner. I just searched for DVD issues and found this thread. Nevertheless, seems to be a problem with the latest release version. Having issues with playing DVDs as well, on Win7 Pro 64bit with SP1. Definitely seems to be an issue with VLC V2.1.2...
