Audio stuttering when video file playback is stopped

I don't know if this just started with the latest update as I haven't used VLC on mu iPad for a while but I just updated to iOS 11.0.1 and the latest version of VLC. Video playback seems to be fine but as soon as a playback is stopped, the audio continues in a sort of stuttering way, like if the las...

Re: Video freezes during playback

I just downloaded 2.2.2 and the first video I tried playing broke up after just 15 seconds.

Back to Movist.

Re: Video freezes during playback

I have reported this problem before and so have others but there doesn't seem to be much interest in the problem beyond asking what version of VLC is being used.

Re: Video playback issues with 2.2.1

Yes, I got Movist which works flawlessly. There are one or two interface differences which took some getting used to but at least I can watch a film without a dozen or more interruptions. Shame, I've been a big fan of VLC for a long time, I've probably introduced thirty or forty people to it, and it...

Re: Video playback issues with 2.2.1

I'm very disappointed with the response to this issue with which I am clearly not alone. It feels like I've been using VLC for ever and can't really imagine using another media player but I really can't tolerate the constant interruptions any longer and I am trying out other players. I'll try again ...

Re: Video playback issues with 2.2.1

I just came to update this thread with the observation that this seems to be happening when there are spikes in the audio - though, to be fair, it isn't always the case. It may be that the audio spikes contribute to an overwhelming rush of data. Anyway, I was looking through the forum posts for mine...

Re: I can run VLC from the disk image but can't put in applications folder

If I had a situation like this, I'd try copying it to the desktop (or somewhere else) then moving it to the Applications folder. But that said, you could try repairing permissions on your startup drive with Disk Utility or just looking to see if your Applications folder is locked or you have suffici...

Video playback issues with 2.2.1

I don't know whether this is a problem caused by VLC or something else but it is occurring on two separate Macs, one with OX X 10.10.3 and one with OS X 10.10.2 - both have VLC 2.2.1. The Mac with OS X 10.10.2 has hardly any other software installed - pretty much just what it came with, Safari, Mail...

Quicktime Audio Drop Problem

I have an HD video which I created with Final Cut Pro v 7 and exported as a Quicktime movie using FCP default settings. I used a video conversion programme to compress the Quicktime video to MKV for uploading to YouTube as the original MOV file was 3GB. The QT uncompressed video plays fine in Quickt...

Windows disappearing to bottom right of screen

It's only happened about four or five times but when I have opened a video file, the main video window and the playlist window seem to have disappeared. I spent ages trying to work out what had happened - I selected them in the VLC Window menu but nothing happened. Then, I discovered that they were ...

Re: VLC First run warning after every reboot

Sorry to bump this but it's starting to annoy me. The only way around it at the moment is to keep VLC running all the time but it still happens after a reboot.

Can anybody help, please?

Re: VLC First run warning after every reboot

Unfortunately, this has started again.

I have the correct Build of Lion (11G63) and Security & Privacy is set to allow any applications - probably not the most sensible setting but ought to stop these constant warnings.

Re: FF and REW buttons send playhead to beginning

Please see ticket 6822 :) There will be an option for this in VLC 2.1.
I forgot what version you mentioned. I was very disappointed that it wasn't implemented in 2.0.4.

Thanks, I had been having the Time Machine/Spotlight problem which was the main purpose of the update - the Gatekeeper issue had passed me by but it seems to have cured the problem.

VLC First run warning after every reboot

Whenever I reboot and launch VLC (2.0.3), I get the warning from my Mac (OS X 10.7.5) that I am launching VLC for the first time. This doesn't happen with any other applications. What's going on? Anybody any clues?

Re: Stuttering playback on the Mac? Try this!

I'm not sure if this is related, if it will help or if it just complicates things but I just tried to watch a video on VLC 2.0.3 which was an .avi with the following codec specifications: H264 MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) 720 x 384 23.976024fps It played like it was about 8fps - very jerky.

Re: FF and REW buttons send playhead to beginning

I'd like the option to disable this feature because I find it very awkward shifting my brain between how the control works in window mode and full screen mode. If I am in window mode and just want to rewind a few seconds (as I frequently have to due to playback problems - posted in another thread) I...

A new build of 2.0.3 for Mac will be out to fix this issue.
I'm not sure if this was a reply to my post or not but it doesn't seem to have fixed the stuttering audio/video for me, I'm afraid.
