Hello,

I get an error "an error occurred: failed to create output image buffer of 409x240 pixels"," when trying to play anything on any player on my system. What does this mean and how can it be fixed?

(Running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 "Jaunty")

Thank you

The graphics are Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500, driver verison 7.14.10.1006 (The only one I found that installed correctly...

Hi, it is not clear how I create a new youtube.luac file from the Github site. The lua/README.txt "instructions" are not followable. As for YouTube videos, they will play in VLC without trying to force the lower resolution, but the playback is not smooth enough to watch, there is some lagg...

Hitchiker,

The youtube.luac file is dated 04/06/2020.

Hi all, new to the forum.

Followed this https://www.vlchelp.com/how-to-choose-y ... o-quality/ and set to 240p. But when I hit Ctrl + J, the videos aren't playing in 240p!
