Re: Attempt to add 60k files makes UI being frozen

I am a MIDI music lover and collector myself. Particularly original songs (not covers) Would you care sharing some of these MIDI tracks? Yeah, I have many of, there are both covers, remakes and originals (I also have some I composed myself). Here are MIDI files made by me: https://github.com/Wohlst...

Re: Attempt to add 60k files makes UI being frozen

My music collection is in MIDI format, not MP3 (for playback I use my own codec plugins https://github.com/Wohlstand/libOPNMIDI and https://github.com/Wohlstand/libADLMIDI but with the standard demuxer). Anyway, I did another attempt, and I see VLC had to load CPU with 100% while trying to load a pl...

Freeze of VLC when opening a broken file with an infinite repeat enabled

This problem I had a very long time with any older and latest VLC versions. So, how it works: - open VLC - set repeat mode into forever - open an invalid file that is broken and rejected for play - VLC's GUI will be stuck and no way to control it, it will flicker with an unsuccessful attempt to play...

Re: Add ability to choose one of codecs of same format

Changing of settings of each coded yes, but I can't find any things like "Select preferred codec for `MIDI` format" or "Select preferred codec for H264 format", etc are VLC-side but not a plugin-side workaround I have made. Can you hint me, where they are hidden?

Re: Add ability to choose one of codecs of same format

I didn't meant the hot switch in a middle of playback which is yeah, too hard to implement, but the using another codec on song restart or on next song switch which is now works (via my "Enable this synthesizer" workaround in settings of codec itself).

Re: Add ability to choose one of codecs of same format

vlc --codec XXX ? This works! :D (I have tried `vlc --codec fluidsynth`, `vlc --codec ADLMIDI` and `vlc --codec OPNMIDI` and this worked: MIDI files are was played on a choosen synth by the argument) But still the a think why not to implement a GUI setup with the ability to change that on the fly?

Add ability to choose one of codecs of same format

Hello! I have found VLC is not able to choose one of codecs when the case multiple different codecs of same format are installed. For example, I have two my own MIDI codec plugins: https://github.com/Wohlstand/libADLMIDI https://github.com/Wohlstand/libOPNMIDI They are different and resulting differ...

Re: Need a help to build custom VLC codec plugins via CMake

I had no troubles with linked libraries, but vlc --list -v usually returned absence of my plugin when it was built via CMake. Anyway, I just now have checked pkg-config's --cflags, and I have found this: $ pkg-config --cflags vlc-plugin -D__PLUGIN__ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE...
