Rate is a property, Ooops! http://sakuramagazine.com/content/uploads/2013/12/Baka-manga-34558590-640-512.jpg Gomen. I thought the Property was "Playback_Rate" (I'm really new to Dbus). The docs aren't super-helpful and there are no examples of usage. I got all the usage code from other so...

1) faster and slower commands work fine here (VLC 3.0) Glad to hear it's been fixed, I'll trust your word and wait until 3.0 gets a backport to Jessie. Thanks a lot for that! 2) MPRIS does not define a Rate property: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/ ... rface.html -> User error. Anno, senpai...

This may be a stack-related problem with netcat (linux implementations), but here goes... When using the remote interface, functionality ceases after a while. This happens only with netcat, not telnet and not the openbsd implementation of netcat (yet). While using the remote functionality over a nor...

Two Major Problems in VLC 2.2.4: This thread is dealing with behavior *only* Okay, let me try to be brief.VLC has a remote interface (well multiple ones). However they do not behave with *any* consistency. This is sort of a short version of what I've been through the past few weeks... For standard r...

I have the same problem with 2.2.4. It seems to be because of a buggy encode. This is especially germane to high-res YouTube videos and wmv (Worst Made Video) format. If you monitor your system, you'll see the CPU load spike. Run vlc from your CLI like so: $ vlc -vvv NameOfYourVideoFile Tell us what...

SOLVED: echo "rate d" where d is a double (decimal number 1.0 = normal, 0.5 = half, 2.0 = 2x). This is NOT properly documented and I had to, pardon the pun, go through dubious *sources* (just kidding). Anyway, here's an example: echo "rate 0.5" | telnet localhost 1234 Please can ...

So thank you for your answers, even if your discussion was out of the purpose of my post ;-) So if I understand well there is no mitigation to this issue with XP? OMG! Like seriously! That's too ironic, when there's a thread regarding spam/blacklisting IPs and a spambot posts in it. This has to be ...

What Rémi means is that the version you installed with your *package manager* has all dependencies satisfied. The version you want to *build* requires more "bleeding-edge" libs. What you build *is not* the same as your package manager installed. When you run build-dep it is done by your pa...

I'm no expert, but... undefined reference to `XCloseDisplay' I would imagine that this is an #ifdef or #ifndef related problem, which would lead me to think, "Configuration problems." Postulation: The point of failure seems to point to Video Acceleration settings - as suggested by the firs...

For those who don't know, Stack Exchange is a dedicated Q&A site that started for programmers and now covers more than 150 topics from coding to English grammar. Having a Videolan StackExchange site means straight up questions and answers, no fluff. Most questions get answered within a few hours...

You are way underestimating the amount and persistence of spammers. We have tried manual filtering. WE WILL NOT GO BACK THERE. Woah, okay, getting the impression here that perhaps what I thought was confrontational behavior from Videolan team could also be a consequence of spammers. I guess they re...

I'm sorry if my previous post came across as offensive, I'm just at the end of my rope here because VLC is a vital component for an upliftment project I'm working on and I feel like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall with the team... But shaming developers is not going to get you anywhere. Net...

You're doing it wrong.

Could you give me an example, I'm fairly new to DBUS. Explanation would be good to. Thanks in advance.

This problem is not germane to VLC Player. Nearly all players suffer this, including the might MPC-HC (with CCCP) and I have hypothesized a simple explanation. If you examine an srt file (subtitle file, one of many formats), you'll see how the time stamping works. Basically, the player sees somethin...

I know, I know choose me! (Raises hand) They have a retarded IP-banning system that allegedly looks at "other behaviors" too, like user agent strings (explains why maybe XP+IE not working), etc. They banned my entire ISP's range and I have to access the site via TOR. I recommend you do the...

Well, on this topic, let me once again bring up a speed control problem: The rc interface does not work with the commands "faster" and "slower" . Works fine: echo "pause" | telnet localhost 1234 Doesn't do a thing, not output in the console I started VLC from either: ec...

Hi, it's me again, the bitching superuser. I've given up on trying to use the rc interface (because it's broken and nobody has addressed my concerns about it). I'm looking into DBUS now , but it seems VLC is not MPRIS-compliant. PlayPause works , Seek works , but Rate (and related) don't and neither...

@TonyLancer: ...I don't think I can upgrade to the next VLC version(if there is such a thing), since the version I downloaded came straight from the VLC website(which then directed me to Ubuntu Software Center). Same thing happens when I execute "sudo apt-get install vlc" I know it's a dum...

Seriously, do you really think we do that because it's fun? We do it because there are no other solutions so far. We spend our days doing stuff for free for our users, and then we get posts that are borderline insulting like yours... And almost never a thank you. Then, don't wonder why noone answer...

Yes, people like me who've never spammed the forums and have to use TOR just to login. I came here to post a suggestion regarding this antiquated system of IP-Blacklisting because spammers can use the methods I did to circumvent it. Now, after seeing the attitude of of Mr Kempf, it's hard for me to ...

Okay: 1. I know I shouldn't post bugs here but it was difficult enough registering and logging in (I have to use TOR because my IP has *allegedly* been blocked, though I've never used the forum in my life). 2. I just wrote a lengthy post which was lost because I go prompted to login again. I was *al...
