Your HW decoding isn't fast enough to playback those speeds. --no-avcodec-hurry-up will just not drop, so you're not playing expected speed but drifting at max possible speed, and possibly run out of memory. I think I am not using HW decoding at all. With e.g. optirun (nVidia card) I didn't observe...

I checked with --no-avcodec-hurry-up and indeed the problem of freeze is gone. Thank you! Now I have a good workaround.

I also checked current master of git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-3.0.git that is commit 3.0.3-1-45-g531fb72410. It behaves exactly as 3.0.2.

Dear InTheWings, Are you discussing now the https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=145092 or my issue? Still you didn't answer to these questions: - is --no-avcodec-hurry-up a build option? - the master branch of which repository should I look into? I also didn't get answer to other que...

Additionally I can provide the 3 movies that I tested + console output from ffmpeg while they were produced showing ffmpeg and libraries versions, if that might be of any help

--no-avcodec-hurry-up Is it a build option? I cannot find it in the output of 'vlc --help' As for the master branch and post VLC 3, I am pretty confused with VLC Git repositories layout. You seem to have branches divided into separate repositories. So the master branch of which repository should I l...

I just found the problematic commit in git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-3.0.git : 3f5daf4d2f5501a5e8868bf2dbfccbe615cfdf5a

What do you mean by "in both cases"? "the performance "regression" is not necessary to fix some bug" Do you mean, that it might be necessary to introduce some regression to fix the problem that I observe? The final part I understand. So if I say bisect to find commits w...

Hello again, As I mentioned at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=899384 I have some new findings. Let me make the full description of what I am doing. I am converting a set of photos into a movie for monitoring purposes. Since frequently the movie shows lights blinking and no action ...

My observation is that I could watch the same file on this machine in 64x speed before upgrade to 3.0.2. The only thing that changed is VLC. Could it be that it did work without hardware acceleration before, but there is some non-hardware-acceleration problem in 3.0.2 that would cause it to hang whe...

Great, thank you!

Hi, I already posted this as a bug in Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=899384) : After recent upgrade to 3.0.2 when I try to increase the speed above certain level (16x), the video is frozen. The same procedure on the same movie file worked without problem up to 64x before t...

Hi,

Thanks for confirmation that it is an unwanted behaviour.

"was a bug" - does it mean that:
- it has been fixed, or
- that it is not yet fixed but you or others have created an issue in the bug tracker, or
- that I should now make a bug report?

Cheers,
Antoni

Hello, I am on Debian stable (9.4) amd64, VLC 3.0.2-0-gd7b653cf14. This version no longer remembers the last opened folder: when I do Ctrl-f it always shows my home, not the previous location that I navigated to in the previous Ctrl-f. It seems to be similar to https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.p...
