Re: VLC 3.0.15 update not working

Does the nightly have the same problem?

Do you have a test suite that builds must pass to be promoted to a release? If so, hopefully you've added a test to verify playback in each output format and decoding strategy.

Re: Can you accelerate the release of VLC 3.0.15?

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I didn't want to install a nightly. The severity of the problem seems like it justifies a patch release to address it.

Can you accelerate the release of VLC 3.0.15?

I'm currently having a difficult time using VLC due to this bug . Older versions of VLC have a security flaw, so rolling back isn't an issue. I also can't switch away from D3D11 as D3D9 either doesn't provide the features I need or crashes (see here ). Looks like it's not scheduled to be released fo...

Re: Rotation is broken in VLC 2.2.0.

Are you --REMOVED BY ADMIN-- ? I provided that video as part of the instructions to reproduce the problem, since you claimed you couldn't reproduce it, and it may be video format specific (though I doubt it). If you're not interested in fixing problems when I go the trouble of reporting them, and te...

Re: Rotation is broken in VLC 2.2.0.

Download the rocket video (3.31mb) from http://pagalworld.io/freshmaza/files/download/id/130461, and follow my original instructions as to checking the "rotate" box. I just tried it on a fresh installation of WIndows 7 SP1 x64 on Vmware, and it reproduced the problem. It did rotate once pr...

Rotation is broken in VLC 2.2.0.

Go to Tools => Effects and Filters => Video Effects => Geometry and check the Rotate box. When you turn the compass around, you'll see the image cant about 5 degrees and that's it. No (more) rotation. Actually it looks like the compass angle allows the image to be set to 0 to 5 degrees rotation. Jus...

Re: ProjectM visualization choice missing from VLC 2.2.0

The bug report for 13650 appears to be https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/13650. I'm not clear on why the fix isn't just to revert whatever changed from VLC 2.1.5, instead of disabling the feature. "Doc, it hurts when I move my fingers! Can you help?" "Here, let me chop your arm off...

Re: ProjectM visualization choice missing from VLC 2.2.0

Looking at the source file src/audio_output/output.c, I see that the projectM option has been intentionally guarded with a preprocessor macro so it's not built on Win32: #ifndef _WIN32 /* Look for libprojectM plugin */ if (module_exists ("projectm")) { val.psz_string = (char *)"projec...

Re: ProjectM visualization choice missing from VLC 2.2.0

I just confirmed ProjectM was present in a default install of VLC 2.1.5, and missing immediately after upgrading to VLC 2.2.0, so it's a regression. Also, for some reason, someone thought it would be a good idea in VLC 2.2.0 to disable access to the visualizations submenu it unless a video is loaded...

ProjectM visualization choice missing from VLC 2.2.0

Downloaded official Windows version of VLC 2.2.0, and projectM 2.1.0. I followed what instructions I could find for installing projectM, and created a visualizations directory underneath c:\program files(x86)\videolan\vlc into which I copied the *.mllk files from projectM. Then I went to advanced se...

Bug Report: Please fix 100% CPU issue for empty video files

Occasionally, a download will fail in such a way that a 0-length file is created with a valid name. In this case, if I've downloaded several other videos as well, I may click on the 0-length file without noticing that it's a dud. When I do this, VLC will go into a tight loop pegging a core at 100% a...

Re: Request: Enhanced A-B Repeat

Thanks, that does provide access to the first bit of functionality I requested. However, it's not as intuitive as if it were integrated with the built-in, graphically oriented A-B repeat. I still think general users of VLC would benefit from having this built in. Some additional enhancements that wo...

I would like to request two features related to A-B Repeat: * Please add the capability to retain the A-B Repeat selection on a video if a playlist is present and I jump to the next video in the playlist. I.e., suppose I have two videos in my playlist; I want to be able to select a 10 second snipet ...

Re: VLC keeps sticked to Simple Preferences.

Yes, that works, so we don't have to click the "all" radio button every time we open preferences, but the preferences dialog is now ridiculously short, so we have to resize it every time we open it instead. Not much more useful. (Or I guess you don't have to resize it if you like working i...
