I also still have the issue with the latest vlc 2.2.3, that's a real pity as i mainly listen to flac format files..

i noticed that it's not supported, that's why i'm writing here

I was hoping there is a way to use them.
If not, it might be a wished feature.

well, the problem is that i cannot open an xml file as a subtitle in vlc. anyway here an example, a short news of the german ARD - this is the subtitle in xml format: www.ardmediathek.de/subtitle/31352 - here is the link to the video news: http://media.tagesschau.de/video/2015/0828/TV-20150828-1616-...

hi all,

I am using a software called MediathekView, with it i can download some german tv programs and - new entry - also subtitles (where available).

Some of these subtitles are in XML format and VLC doesn't seem to be able to read them.

Does anyone know if there is a way to use them?

it is like the audio sounds distorted, as if the volume would be too loud. It is just in loudest passages of the track. I have tried with different volume settings and it still there.
I can also record the problem if you want.

I did a more careful test again, and yes, vlc still distorting some flac format file.

In order to do the test i converted the flac file to wav: the wav does not distort.

If you are interested i can send you both files and you can check yourself

Little update: with vlc 2.1.0 the problem is not present!
thanks!

The thread can be closed/solved

I have just updated VLC to the version 2.0.9 and I still have this noise problem, both with wav and flac files.

Am I the only one?

I am running it on OSX 10.8.5

I've just got some new speakers and noticed that the problem still there, even with the nightly build.

you're welcome, thanks for the development, Vlc is great

And thank you for the information, I'll keep on using the nightly build until the actual release.

Best

Yes, with nightly build it works

thanks.

I'm using a macbook pro 13 with an external sound card, motu ultralite
The files are in flac format.

I'll try the nightly build and let u know.

Thanks

Hi, I've just noticed some audio distortion in VLC 2.0.5 on OSX 10.8 Cannot tell if it was there before.

Hi,

lately i've noticed some audio distortion on vlc 2.0.5 for osx 10.8
The volume is lower than 100% but I still hear some distortion while playing music.

What can I try to fix that? is it a bug?

Vlc is my favourite audio player

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to do some VOD with vlc, but:
- if I use rtsp protocol, I can use only vlc as client
- if I use http, nothing works

Does anyone got a solution for VOD, with a different client than vlc?

thanx

Hi,

I've got the same problem as bxb13.
I'm trying to do VOD with vlc, it works only with rstp protocol, but only for vlc clients.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? even with another linux/gpl software?

thanx
