Since it appears that multiple issues can cause this problem, I will attempt to recap/compile what others have stated up to now. 2 Open VLC. Go to Tools / Preferences. On the Interface tab, under Album art download policy , select Manual download only . This should tell VLC to only get the album ar...

There is a well known and discussed issue of problems with 2.2.0 attempting to play MKV files stored on external media or on the local network, or NAS drive. Its been discussed in several other threads. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=124873 https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.p...

My other PC has a lot of video files. Mostly .mp4 and .mkv. I can stream .mp4 vids over the network very easily. But I can't steam .mkv. It just opens up vlc and nothing happens. It is not about file size either as some of the .mp4s are bigger than the .mkvs that won't run. I don't believe I had th...

But most files play fine from the shared drive. As the link posted in the previous post to an earlier thread (as well as in at least one other thread) there is a problem in version 2.2.0 running MKV files from external or network attached storage drives. There is a nightly build ( http://nightlies....

FYI, there are already a couple of threads posted last week on this issue. No solution yet.

Please try http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 0304-0202/

That nightly build fixed the MKV loading/playing from an NAS delay issue here as well.

Can you share the logs, please? Log file link below is of a 5:41 minute long MKV file stored on an external USB drive connected to a Belkin N300 router running TomatoUSB firmware (Samba). File is accessed on the local network and takes approximately 18 to 25 seconds to load. MP4 version of the same...

Another "same here". When attempting to play an MKV file (5 minute video - 1280x738) from my NAS it takes about 20 to 25 seconds load then play and occasionally stutters while playing (like its buffering). Same file loads and plays without issue from my local hard drive. MP4 video plays fi...

See the following thread started previously were people are having trouble running MKV files from external drives and from network attached storage. Version 2.2 no .mkv support? https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=124431 I have no problems running MP4 files from network attaches stor...

It is now hit or miss whether the button shows up for continuing playback where last left off. Sometimes I see it sometimes not. Its not consistent every time when launching the same file from explorer or when opening the file from within VLC. It wasn't until I ran a .MOV file repeatedly that I actu...

Did you try it the way I described in my post above, too? FYI: I'm still using Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and installed VLC v2.2.0 over an already installed older version of it without any problem on all my computers. EDIT: After some testing for a while, it seems that the method described ab...

The remember position/resume playback feature of version 2.2.0 is not working for me either on two different Windows PC's. Both running Windows 7. One has the x32 version of VLC 2.2.0 running the other the x64 version of VLC 2.2.0 running. When VLC 2.2.0 installed on both PC's yesterday it "upg...
