Re: Unable to login to trac.videolan.org

Same problem here - my trac username is christopherw yet my last password doesn't work. Attempting to password recovery gives a failure message and asks me to use the username & email combination I signed up with.

Is this some anti-spam / anti-DDoS? I remember having problems with trac last time.

Bug handling HLS stream from Periscope? VLC 2.2.4

I grabbed an HLS m3u8 for a Periscope live stream (in this case, provided directly by a TV channel, I presume using the new API for high quality encodes). The m3u8 (link will probably expire after stream ends) appears to conform to spec: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2 #EXT-X-VERSION:6 #EXT-X-INDEPE...

Re: Configuring socks5 proxy for VLC 1.1.7

It's still there unmoved as of VLC 1.1.12. OF COURSE! How could we all be so blind; it's not in a submenu inside "Input / Codecs", it's (way down the list on) the "Input / Codecs" main options page! No wonder I couldn't find it. Curiously last night I ended up trying the command...

Re: Configuring socks5 proxy for VLC 1.1.7

Interesting, I'm currently running 1.1.11 stable and there's no SOCKS Proxy options (just standard HTTP in the HTTP(S) section). Feature been removed again or is it still considered experimental?

Unable to stream (+transcode) FLACs to any format?

Using some FLACs I encoded earlier as a source, I was attempting to stream and transcode (first to Vorbis, then to AAC and finally to MP3, on separate attempts) to my own Icecast server. It's verified as functioning using my home machine to stream to my work machine, which I was using earlier :-) It...

I've noticed this same behaviour on my Firefly (R2 UK) boxset... The menus are on a still frame after the short video transition... The menu options are still there, and the menu indicators (ya know, the symbol to show you which option you have selected) is still there, and the options work - they j...
