I thought the flac audio cut-out out issue with VLC was fixed with version 3.5.4 as referenced above by Aza. Is the fix only addressed on certain platforms?

It seem like half the flac files I play with VLC have audio cut-outs. Quite discombobulating!

Where do we retrieve the beta version? I want to update on all my platforms (Windows, Mac, Android . . .) Can you kindly put the link in your text. Thanks!

Besides playback in Windows 10, with VLC version 3.0.18, I'm also getting the flac file micro-second of audio cut-out problem with VLC 3.0.18 on a MacBook (Intel 64, MacOS Catalina) and VLC 3.5.3 on Android (6.0.1). This happens on a song ripped originally from an audio CD using the Exact Audio Copy...

That's not the topic of this thread! The problem is with VLC's Media Library -- not the Icecast radio directory. The Media Library is where you can create customized personal links by sliding them over during listening from the Playlist to "Media Library" (see illustration). The links stay...

Hitchhiker, I wish I could file a report on Trac. Unfortunately, that system is extremely slowwww and frustrating. It won't let me login. I tried creating a new account and it says "email address already in use". I tried the reset password option and it goes into a "catch-22" sit...

After updating to VLC version 3.0.12 and selecting "keep preferences" during the update, VLC decided to completely delete all the Media Library links I had saved. :evil: These are links you can save in the VLC interface by going to View, Playlist and sliding the links leftward into the Med...

Ah, thanks. I think previously we could tap the stream name (station) to get the sleep option. Will now tap song title then. Thank-you!

I have VLC, Android version 3.2.12. I want to listen to a radio stream and have VLC shut off after 20 minutes. Now I can't find this feature. Where did it go?

I would report the problem at trac.videolan.org, but cannot get logged in there. After trying to login, it comes back with "Invalid username or password". So, I tried the "forget your password?" option. After entering my username and email, I get the error "Warning: Email an...

Arghhh. VLC did it again! Upon upgrade to 3.0.11 and choosing to keep current settings, VLC trashed all things saved in my Media Library. Now I have to recreate all of the media links again. Is there a way to save these settings beforehand? Or better yet, to prevent VLC from trashing the Media Libra...

After updating to VLC version 3.0.10 (from 3.0.08), all the stations I had saved in the VLC Media Library playlist were wiped out. Even though I chose the option to keep my settings during the upgrade, VLC seemed to want to purge things without warning. Arghhhh :evil:. Is there any way to back up th...

VLC in my Android phone recently updated to 3.2.3 The update changed the stream entries in VLC by substituting the colon in the stream url to what looks to be the Alt-text designation (%3A). For example the stream address that was http://listen.myfavoritestation.com : 8003/listen, was changed to htt...

I thought this problem was due to my soundcard. I bought a new soundcard, and still get random audio cut-outs with radio streams in VLC. I have been experiencing since last year in Windows 10 (now with version 1803, OS build 17134.523). VLC version is now 3.0.6. Log excerpt below: main debug: Stream...

In Windows 10, I unistalled VLC . Then, removed the Videolan folder from \program files and \program files (x86) of the "c" drive. Then rebooted, and reinstalled a fresh newly downloaded VLC 3.0.6 x64, selecting the box to delete any preferences and cache. Upon Playing the flac file the pr...

Ok thanks. Then how do I do a complete reset of VLC? I already tried the reset settings under preferences. Is there a fuller way to do something like a factory reset, per se? Uninstall/reinstall? I want to start completely new with any traces of previous versions gone. Thank you!

I am experiencing a problem with VLC 3.0.6 in Windows 10 (version 1803) when playing flac files and manually advancing the track slider ahead a bit. VLC will balk (stop), the counter resets to a strange number, and other strange anomalies happen. Play a .flac audio file in VLC and manually moving th...

Yes, VLC Android app just updated and without advising, cleared out the history. Grrr! :x Since I never found a way to have the app remember (or bookmark) the radio stream coordinates. I now have to painstakingly manually re-enter the full url again. 1) Upon updating, why does the VLC app clear out ...

Correct not mp3 but original Warner Brothers audio CD.

I inserted a store bought music CD into my cd player, opened VLC and went to Media, Open Disc, Audio CD. The CD loads and starts playing, however, the Artist and Titles that VLC shows for this cd are incorrect. :cry: The audio cd is "Rod Stewart - A Night on the Town" . But the data that s...

Yes! Had to revert back from VLC version 2.2.6 to 2.2.4 to get BluRay's to play.

And to get rid of stuttering, on my implementation, go to Tools, Preferences, Input/Codecs, and be sure "hardware-accelerated decoding" is set to "automatic".

Thanks for heads up!

Since VLC no longer has this option, if you're on a Mac, you can get mono thru System Preferences, Accessibility, Universal Access, Hearing, and putting a check mark in the box "Play stereo audio as mono" (as Ajmas aludes to above). If you're on a Windows platform, then it's up to your sou...

Unfortunately, in Windows most sound card settings do not have the mono option. Nor is the mono option available in the Control Panel, Accessibility options like it is in the Apple Macintosh OS. Therefore, being able to select (left+right) mono in VLC in the Audio, Audio Device menu was a godsend. P...

On vlc site it says you can download vlc 1.4.1 from google play but the link send you to google play where the vlc is version 1.3.2

Yes, I just uninstalled and re-installed from the play store and it's still at 1.3.2. Can someone update the play store files? Thanks.

Hi Cato, Thanks for pointing this out. However, this doesn't have the option for the full dual mono mode. That is the combining of the left and right channels into one mono channel. In other words, the left channel is fed to both left and right; and the right fed to both left and right. What you poi...

Ah, that helped. Under Tools, Preferences, Show settings, All, Audio, Output modules, set "audio output module" to "DirectX audio output", and then in the tree right under that (DirectX), unticked the box labeled "Use float32 output". Clicked "Save", then rest...
