The VideoLAN Forums

I'm pretty much in agreement. What I've started doing since this post on Wednesday is rather than trying to open the mp4 or mkv directly from the network folder and play from there, I copy all the videos I have there to the local downloads folder on the Android TV box and play from there instead. So...

Is anyone else experiencing this? The video will be happily playing on my Android TV box with the file being read from local network. Then at random it pauses the video and has a dialog with Playback Error on it. If I press the << button on the remote, to go back 10 seconds and hit OK on the remote ...

I guess the file is badly encoded and has some issues. I did the transcoding from mkv to mp4 on a machine I don't normally use - it might have some bad settings, or perhaps just the sources were bad to start with. Here's the log: main debug: EsOutFrameNext consummed 0 ms main debug: Stream buffering...

I've recently started getting choppy audio from MP4 files that are only 480p, are on my Desktop (Drive C), and a fairly low resolution. The normal reasons for poor performance don't apply (playing over network, high bitrate/resolution, huge file size, poor CPU availability). When I drop a video into...

I've managed to fix the associations. Even though in Windows settings it showed VLC as being the registered program for mp4 files, and in the registry shell section it showed all the correct keys for mp4 (identical to avi) it still hadn't worked. What I did: I right-clicked an mp4 (which had a VLC i...

Thanks, but I see now that I wasn't specific enough. I meant that the right-click menu on a file in Windows Explorer isn't offering me "add to VLC's playlist" for mp4 files but it is for avi files, as per the screenshots. It works for me with avi files. Yeah, me too. Not for mp4 though. S...

Hit Ctrl + L to open the Playlist menu while the video is playing - it will continue to play in the bottom left hand corner - and then right click the file and click "Add to playlist". Hit Ctrl + L again to toggle to the previous view. Thanks, but I see now that I wasn't specific enough. ...

I've seen a lot of threads about this across many sites, but no really direct solution. It's usually just uninstall, clean, and re-install. As I have some UI customizations (to add buttons) I'd prefer not to do that if possible. When I have a video playing and I right-click on an avi file, I'm offer...

Does it offer the ability to enable/disable the [url=http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=153177]playing of notifications[/url] while listening/watching something with VLC ?

For some reason the forum isn't recognizing ^^^ correctly formatted hyperlinks.

Was just out for a walk and listening to an MP4 file with VLC. When I ended the walk I saw I had multiple Whatsapp messages asking me to get something on the way home but I wasn't played the notification sounds (despite the notifications being there in the notification bar). I can't find how I can a...

Yaaaay for the latest VLC update 2.2.1. After installing that I no longer have the blocky video on startup/unpause. It's now perfect. All my issues gone away :D I gotta save this installer as a fallback in case of future issues :) Just in case anyone ever wonders, the version I was using that had th...

interesting. the limitation in windows is still there though. I wouldn't expect this to work if you play HD videos of 720p or higher. When I suggested looking in the advanced options, that was actually a shot in the dark. lol Good stuff. :) Really? I would have thought it would still work up to 108...

I found the solution here and here . I'm sure I looked everywhere in the options before posting this thread, but somehow I missed those fields. The values, in order, were 300, 300, and 1000. I figured I'd just bump them all up to 10 seconds. I gave it a try, started a video, gave it a couple of seco...

"busy" is the operative word here. When watching videos from a network drive, if you start bogging down the network, then VLC player (or any other video player) may not be able to access the network drive in order to keep the cache full. How fast your network is has no bearing on that, if...

I have a NAS drive with video files on it. Most are around 720x404 or 858x480, so not even HD sized, but I can still get the videos being blocky and even completely pausing. The blocky view can happen after pausing/resuming. The pausing (and extreme blocky picture) can happen if I start copying a fi...
