Hi VLC Team, Thanks for the help!!! I was able to fix the youtube stutters issues in my code so now my Java based system video viewer works better than ever!! I was having email problems so I am leaving a small note here. I will try to keep up with the latest vlc fixes/enhancements by updating at le...

Same issue but seems to take longer before it starts to happen.
Thanks,

Hi JB, Thanks for the prompt reply I know you are very busy. FYI DVD's work great no problem. Let me know if there are any settings you want me to try. Regarding the demuxer is that why caching when set so large seems to help? I am at a different part of the country. I will try to see if I run into ...

Okay I tried enabling GPU and it made no difference. I also tried HQ type videos and the same stutter occurs.

Hi All, I sent this email via the VLC dev email and I am posting the info here plus some additional observations in hope of someone else knowing a fix via config setting I hope. Basically it looks as if VLC since some version of 1.1.x is stuttering or pausing for high definition video at least where...

I am having the same exact issues. Is there a newer nightly that fixes the problem(s)??

Hi Sherington, None that I know of unless you can get the fullscreen to work like it used to in 1.0.6 :-( Otherwise everything is fine. I might start a different thread regarding video stalling where the same video but in a smaller window is slower than one in a large window. I do not see CPU issues...

Hi Sherington, I have tried -vvv in the past and it never worked for me and the same issue with native log. I seem to remember the vlc team saying logging was broken. I will look at MediaPlayerFactory.newLog(). I did fix the remaining issue (around 5:00AM my time) where I was playing youtube videos ...

Hi Sherington, Thanks I looked to deep into the setVideoSurface and saw the class for windows instead of looking at what was returned. I did change my app code to use the latest vlcj and log4j so now I am in sync. At least now I am back to the mediaPlayer instance being created but the video not run...

Okay I read your comments about 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 but no mention of the issue regarding setVideoSurface() and recasting to use it. Not that I expected details but that is why I looked at the test case examples and frowned and left this message. I did the link to the log4j but haveing the users download...

Hi Sherington, It was only one issue so far with a small change it's I am just not sure you intended that to happen with the setVideoSurface since that means the users of the vlcj api now have to add a reference to a particular OS which I think you were trying to avoid? I will add code changes to ac...

Ok I recasted the mediaPlayer object to WindowsEmbeddedMediaPlayer for the setVideoSurface() and can compile. Bad news is when creating the instance of vlc the code now hangs as if the creation is taking forever. This is new since I upgraded to vlcj 1.1.1. I will let you know what I find. Please upd...

Hi Sherington, I tried also sending an email directly to you via hotmail but no reply yet so leaving message here. I downloaded your 1.1.1 version released 7/23 since I was upgrading to the latest vlc nightly builds. I get an exception about mediaPlayer.setVideoSurface() not existing. It used to wor...

Hi Sherington,

My remaining lockup issue has been resolved due to a library issue. Many thanks for the help.

Okay I found one major issue. Seems the following line of code in setMedia crashes the jre if you use a string containing http. libvlc_media_t mediaDescriptor = libvlc.libvlc_media_new_path(instance, media); I am wondering about the new mrl classes and why they were added. Since your testing uses fi...

Hi Sherington, Thanks for the suggestion but I did not find it in the java bindings anywhere. Where did you find it? I understand about 1.1 but if you notice vlc no longer builds 1.0.x any longer. That is why I finally moved to 1.1.x and like you I am not super pleased but then it has not even been ...

Hi Sherington, I just set the fullscreen strategy to null for now. For the mouse issue I discovered it had to do with using a WindowsCanvas object so I used a regular Canvas object for now and that resolved the issue. Now I just have to figure out why when creating a MediaPlayer object the app hangs...

Hi Sherington, I am trying your latest release and I am running into some issues. 1. I Use JInternalFrames so I want to not use your Full Screen Strategy for now and just start out without full screen capability. I am not sure how to use it with that in mind. 2. I get an error during runtime about m...

Hi Sherington,
Okay I now know what happened. I use 3.2.4 and you are using 3.2.5 which has the new platform.jar.

I will upgrade.

Thanks,
-Tony

Hi Sherington, No problem I never had to use the platform.jar before so never included it in my distribution. I am using both Windows and Linux now so I really appreciated your work on both. Remi would have heart attack if he knew I am working on Linux also since he thinks I am windows only. I can c...

Hi Sherington, Your latest vlcj no longer compiles for me since it needs some version I have not seen of jna to do some mouse capture events. Where did you get your jna library and what version is it? I am using 3.2.4 which I thought was the latest support for jna. And with these changes you made do...

Hi Sherington, Thanks for the prompt feedback. The fullscreen used to work fine with vlcj before 1.0.6 and I guess they made some changes so it does not operate in an embeded app. I suspect the perl bindings are now not working for fullscreen also if that is the case. I heard they had crashing of th...

Hi All, Are people still having issues with fullscreen not working? Is that a vlcj issue or a build of 1.1? I am having that issue and not sure if it is an issue with vlcj or vlc 1.1.x. Also, it seems for getting the time that the video is running that is might be different value for Windows versus ...

Hi Sherington, I am still testing under ubuntu 9.10 with vlc 1.1.0 git and on an intel centrino dual processor. I removed most of the options and retried a mov file and got the error message about libmemcpy3dn_plugin again and an odd error about xdg-screensaver: Window 0xxxxxxxx does not exist. I tr...

Sorry I have not tried udp protocol before so I do not know if it is expected to work.
