Invalid certificate for that site. https://i.postimg.cc/WFtkSczR/cert-invalid.png (click to enlarge) whats the meaning of this? it just means the website SSL certificate is invalid/unknown, likely because it expired or its configured incorrectly, it doesnt necessarily mean the website is malicious.

these are google video links. the first video i tried (https://yewtu.be/watch?v=CRTPfLOnoRU) provided me a link using "Video Download Helper" extension in Firefox browser as: https://rr5---sn-5hne6nzd.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?expire=1654729589&ei=FdegYtnOKY3ugQft7buICQ&ip=143....

here is an example why YT links dont parse properly. its a link to another link, to another link until it finally resolves to the actual link hosting the media content. to add to this issue, there are separate video and audio streams, VP9 (VP90) for video and OPUS for audio, respectively. the exampl...

Seems VLC developers are not concerned about reporting correct bit rates in the media information codec dialog. When I play a VBR mp3 it always says 32kb/s. Also it says its a 32 bit file which is clearly wrong. The dialog box says above it "Information about what your media or stream is made ...

Note that artifacts.v.o lists development versions only.

thanks for that.
i was unaware of https://get.videolan.org/vlc/

all repositories:

the audio file from a youtube video is OPUS codec, just download that file using downloadhelper plugin for firefox.
no need to convert to MP3, modern devices will play OPUS just fine.

if you find that adding custom ':user-agent=' and custom ':http-referrer=' strings under "edit options" does not work when opening a network stream, remove the quotes " " around your agent and referrer strings (example below). old method for user agent and referrer that does not ...

i believe what you are seeking, is the window edges to snap to the frame edges of the video instead of adding black padding when free-form resizing it ?

sounds to me like the issue is 16x9 content displayed inside 4x3 window or vice-versa.

here is a snippet of the issue with some youtube videos that is causing the problem with no playback. this snippet here is saving the OPUS audio file to the computer. as you can see, the original youtube URL, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kOpZKSYLzQ is then translated to three additional URL's wi...

the problem is many videos on YT are being "cross-linked" to google video.

I would not dare download songs off YouTube and put them on my own stream because that is like totally unfair to the artist :roll: i agree with you but i prefer to pay the artists directly since they get a small share of the royalties, so if an artist is offering their music without any payments go...

at first i sent no user agent but then later i didnt bother - i did this to point out to you who it was connecting. im using 3.0.16 VLC 64bit. yes, i agree, you are currently the only one who just plays nothing but a random mix/genre/era of all types of music with no processing and no interruptions....

thanks. i really enjoy the eclectic wide range selection of music. Yea every single day is something different, something new, something old and something in-between I have Broadway and even 1940's music as well as Elvis Presley too in my one and only playlist of 20,000 + songs :) i noticed that th...

i use it to watch online video streams (because web page embedded players suck), to play back all media content on local storage and to listen to online audio streams (in that specific order of importance) if you like to stream music see my stream and tune in sometime to see if you like it :) My si...

try editing the ".xspf" playlist file and add the complete URL there. I can't find any file with that name. It doesn't come up in a search and browsing to: "Internal storage>Android>data>org.videolan.vlc>files>medialib>playlists" is empty, even though I have created a playlist w...

That's weird... When trying to play the steaming VLC ask for username and password. If the password isn't correct then VLC ask for it again. Only when the password is correct the error message window is opened telling me that VLC can't open the streaming. the RTSP server likely depends on the "...

i do know that SL is very CPU & GPU intensive (memory, network and file cache also) but you can configure it to be balanced between both CPU & GPU as well as configuring Firestorm for a shorter drawing distance (drawing more objects on the display requires more CPU & GPU resources) and t...

GPU resources are not infinite. I'm sure what answer you expect here. Yes. Maybe Linux/X11 does not implement any kind of "fair" scheduling of GPU resources, so that any process is "free" to hog and starve other processes for resources? How can I find out if the problem is (a) d...

The graphics is Intel integrated i915.

there is your answer.
integrated graphics share CPU/MEM recources.

i get a 404 error (not found) if i try your link or any of the aforementioned methods below to try and play any of the live streams. perhaps this has to do with the ongoing war in Ukraine since the streams for this service appear to originate from there ? https://artiptv.net/2021/10/08/line-crystalo...
