The VideoLAN Forums

I've submitted a bug report for this:

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/23545

Hope it helps bring this to the developer's attention. It's a real annoyance

Done: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/12815

Thanks, Ed. Hope you can get it working!

Are there any plans for getting this to work? Could someone look into it? If it's an easy fix, it would be great to see it happen.

How can I be sure this is working?

But unfortunately, all we get is:

http://[stream url]
Unknown Artist - Unknown Album

I hope someone can get around to fixing this. Streaming radio is one of my primary uses for VLC.

This is the case with any and every radio stream. There's no metadata whatsoever. Do you really need a log file? I don't believe this is a bug, but a yet to be implemented feature.

How would you verify this under Windows?

In the absence of a 5.1 audio card, does surround get downmixed to stereo by default, or is there some setting we need to change to make this happen?

Is there a better place to post this? Do the developers check this forum?

It would be great if we could get the station name and currently playing artist/track titles displayed for audio streams in VLC for Android. This works as expected on the desktop version.

Here's an example stream URL: http://195.154.72.66

Ah, found it: "MouseWheel up-down axis Control". Thanks.

I'm sick of having distorted audio because of accidently touching the mouse wheel. Is there an option to restrict the volume to 100%? Otherwise, how can I disable the mouse wheel? I didn't see anything under hotkeys.

It would be great if global hotkeys were set by default for multimedia keyboard buttons. As of now, they only work when VLC has focus. As soon as you go off to another window, they no longer work. I'm sure this is an easy thing to make happen, and those of us who use VLC to listen to music will be v...

I didn't notice that second column there. Thanks.

This should really be the default setup. Is there somewhere to request/suggest this?

I haven't set any hotkeys. VLC is set up this way by default. The problem with trying to set hotkeys, is that only one can be set for each function, and I don't want to loose the spacebar for play/pause.

Is there any way to preserve multimedia key functionality while VLC is in the background? As it is, they just stop working when VLC loses focus.

When is the fix due to arrive? How do you edit qt4.dll? It's pretty annoying.

Yes, it works fine until you put it in fullscreen, then no response... And don't miss the other issue in the post above.

Are the developers aware of these issues? Should I be reporting them somewhere else?

Just noticed another thing wrong with 1.1.0: when in fullscreen, the scroll wheel fails to control the volume...

Just tried it out. It seems to have solved that problem, but created another: when toggling fullscreen while "always on top", the empty window gets left over top of the fulscreen, with video playing behind it...

With the last few versions of VLC, whenever I have "always on top" selected, and I toggle fullscreen on and off, the video no longer scales to the window. Any chance of this getting fixed?

The Videos do play, they just don't play properly. The video will freeze or become distorted periodically, while the audio will play on. WMP plays them fine. I've encountered this before with MOV files that will only play properly in Quicktime (videos from Lynda.com, in particular). Changing options...

I'm trying to change the WMV file type association to play with Windows Media Player (because these videos won't play properly in VLC - another problem needing to be addressed), but every time I set it (checking the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option), VLC t...

This issue is still present in 0.9.4 (just edited the title accordingly)... What are the prospects of this being resolved?

Did you guys ever find a Windows developer?... I wish I could help.
