The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, I'm often being confused about this, but just to confirm: there is actually code https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/master/modules/access/nfs.c about NFS network access. However, seemingly, NFS is just implemented only in the GUI of VLC for Android: https://i.imgur.com/WBk6oTM.png ... although...

Thanks for the explanation from me as well!

I have seen that VLC for Android does not implement A-B loop (#8255 (Android: implement A-B loop) – VLC https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/8255 ), but that is not what I'm asking... I have downloaded and installed VLC for Android version 1.3.2 (April 30, 2015); I was looking for buttons/options to...

Thanks @Jean-BaptisteKempf, nice to have that confirmed!

I read through https://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/share/lua/README.txt , but I couldn't find a reference to this - it would be nice to know explicitly if this is not possible. This is what I'd like to do: make a dialog, with a button; on press of the button: if the playlist window is not shown,...

I think I just discovered a buggy behavior - not necessarily a bug in VLC, though; but I think it's better for it to be documented. These are my specs: $ echo $(cat /etc/issue ; uname -a) Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l Linux mypc 2.6.38-16-generic #67-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 6 18:00:43 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Li...

Hi Jean-Baptiste Kempf,

Thanks a lot for your response!

EXTVLCOPT is a hack

Understood Well, for the most part I just need the videos to run in a playlist - if I really need the subtitles, I'll click a couple of times to get them to show

All the best!

Hi Jean-Baptiste Kempf, Change the autodetection fuzziness then in preferences. Thanks for the quick reply - I had no idea what autodetection fuzziness was for previously! :) The option 4 for autodetection fuzziness says 'subtitle file matching the movie name exactly' - and this works perfect for my...

Hi all, I have tried to back up some of my DVDs as .vobs, and have backed up subtitle files as well. I'd like to put them in a playlist, and have the playlist load subtitles automatically. I'm having some slight nags, which I guess are due to a problematic naming policy I have chosen, so I hope for ...

Hi all, I installed on Ubuntu Lucid, VLC 1.1.1-1~ppa1 from PPA named vlc for Christoph Korn : Christoph Korn ; the previous version from that PPA was fine (actually, only problem was that the VLC icon got stuck in Gnome and would not go away and close vlc, after the program was closed - only way was...

Hi all, I am using: $ vlc --version VLC media player 1.1.0-git The Luggage VLC version 1.1.0-git The Luggage (exported) Compiled by buildd on seaborgium.ppa (Feb 22 2010 15:06:22) Compiler: gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) $ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l And it seems that the shoutcast r...

Hi, Just read this by accident: vlc --list | grep faad As far as I know, vlc sends its output to stderr (at least on my 1.0.0 version on Ubuntu 9.10), which is why simply piping the output to grep will not work, as the user experienced: Running vlc --list | grep faad Produces the same output as vlc ...

j-b, Thanks again for the prompt reply - and especially for the link :) Good to know where the right instructions are located :) Just wanted to say that in relation to the above commands, I just had to additionally do sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev ./configure --prefix=/usr --di...

Hi j-b, You have to compile your VLC to get 1.0.0-pre1 Just as I got your reply, I was looking on the net for "VLC 1.0.0-pre1 deb", but I couldn't find anything; and search for "VLC 1.0.0-pre1" returned a lot of mirrors with a tar.bz2 file on them - so also on my own, I started h...

Hi j-b, Thanks for the update!! Well, it seems that I had used Ubuntu Intrepid I386 nightlies as repository: deb http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-i386/arch ./ But that URL doesn't seem to update/exist anymore.. The version Synaptic gives me for my version is 1.0.0~git20081127-4. I tried ...

Hi j-b, Thanks for your response !! Can you give us the sample? I've just sent you some links in a PM, but I guess the procedure in [ubuntu] [SOLVED] Code required to convert flv to ogv - Ubuntu Forums can be used: youtube-dl -o test.flv http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwL0G9wK8j4 ffmpeg2theora -v 8 ...

Hi all, I've experienced that videos I've converted to OGV using ffmpeg2theora crash VLC on Ubuntu (1.0.0-git Goldeneye), while they play on VLC on Windows (0.9.8a Grishenko). They also play with ffplay under Ubuntu. VLC/Ubuntu fails with: vlc: input/event.c:241: GetEsVarName: Assertion 'i_cat == SP...

Hi all, Sometimes, I get the direct FLV link of an online video, and view it in VLC by simply pasting the link via Media / Open Network... and simply pasting it in the Address field and clicking Play - this works quite good, no complaints.. Using VLC 0.9.4 Grishenko on WinXP. However, sometimes the ...

Hi, Thanks for this: Only way of updating nightly builds is to download newer build. http://nightlies.videolan.org/ Just wanted to report that I got http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/latest/vlc-0.9.0-git-20080321-0003-win32.zip and although I tested with just a couple of files, seems that se...

Hi there, had the same problem (also XP SP2), and using the info here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=42748 In Version 0.9.0 this problem is solved! I downloaded vlc-0.9.0-svn-20080228-0000-win32.exe - now seeking in flv works perfect for me (also XP SP2) - except, when VLC is cl...

Hi, thanks for the reply !!! I am a bit late to answer, but: VLC does NOT do batch encoding well at all Well, I guess I did not make myself clear - I did not necesarilly want batch encoding, simply a batch download... Somthing of a YouTube playlist, avoiding the browser.,.. Why I like VLC's download...

Greetings ladies and gentlemen, Since I have a poor internet connection, my prefferred way of watching online FLV video fullscreen is to use VLC to stream it to disk, and then use another player to view the unfinished streams fullscreen (since VLC I have, 0.8.6b, starts playing FLV streams fine, but...
