I just tried one and it's completely broken. It only shows a blank screen until I enter and exit fullscreen mode at least 5 times, and it crashes if subtitles are on. No use to me. And the uninstaller doesn't even work. I ran the 0.8.6e installer again and it appeared to do everything just fine but ...
I got a TV tuner card and I was able to get it working in VLC, but the process is a bit of a pain. Most of the parameters can be set through the "Advanced Options" on the "Open Capture Device" dialog. I've got this so far: dshow:// :dshow-vdev="" :dshow-adev="none&...
This is a side effect of how overlay works. The actual VLC window is filled with a certain colour and the hardware replaces that colour with the video within the VLC window region. So if some other window overtop of the VLC window has the same colour in it, those pixels get replaced with video too.
I can't seem to get the 'pause' and 'stop' commands to work properly with the RC interface. [00000288] rc interface: VLC media player - version 0.8.6d Janus - (c) 1996-2007 the VideoLAN team [00000288] rc interface: Warning: if you can't access the GUI anymore, open a command-line window, go to the ...
I've selected "File audio output" as the audio output module and given it a path, but it just plays the audio through the speakers as usual instead. Seems the number of channels being set to zero - which is the default - does this. The description says it will detect automatically, how do ...
Try searching for "file audio output": The following words in your search query were ignored: file audio output. You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards. :roll: Also, ...
That got Direct3D rendering a bit faster on the second screen, but the lag is still there. DirectX and GDI weren't affected at all. With GDI I can actually drag between the two, even drop it right in the middle, and have the video rendered only on one half of the window, as if overlay was still on. ...
OK, that partially fixed the problem, but created more. It still happens if I use DirectX output but not DirectX 3D output. However, if I try to run the video on my second monitor, maximized or fullscreen, CPU usage skyrockets and everything runs very slowly, as if it's not using hardware accelerati...
Well there are two things you could do: 1) Find a "broken" screensaver - many will only cover one monitor and leave the others alone. 2) Close the laptop, it should shut the screen off while keeping the TV output on. Windows doesn't have any way that I know of to turn off one monitor and k...
Can you not just drag the VLC window to the other screen and then put it in fullscreen or maximize it? I have 2 screens and when I use these functions it fills up whichever screen the window is currently on and leaves the other alone.
there is an option in the preferences of VLC that should allow users to turn off or disable the screensaver. If for some reason VLC does this automatically even when the option is disabled then maybe it might be a bug. I think what he's saying is even when this option is enabled, if the video is pa...
MS' website is such a nightmare to navigate... -_- I found this that just says 9.0c, and several pages about DX10. Was there a specific page you had in mind?
The video drivers are already up to date. By "DirectX drivers" do you mean DX itself? Is there a later version available for WinXP than 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)? Wikipedia has a nice version list where the only later version is DX10 which is not available for XP.
Every time I reinstall Windows, VLC works for a few months and then this bug appears that makes it completely unusable. When in fullscreen mode, the mouse cursor has to be visible overtop of the video, or it won't display correctly. It just shows one row of pixels repeated down the entire screen lik...
This may not be exclusive to the Windows version but that's all I can test on. In Preferences, Interface -> Main -> Skins, "Enable transparency effects" appears twice, one checked and one unchecked.
I rented a Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth DVD and it had a photo gallery option in the bonus features. I flipped through it on my standalone DVD player and it worked fine, and I decided I'd grab a few of the images for wallpapers on my laptop. For some reason though the images come out g...
Usually when this happens it means you need to change file associations. It should read something like this: C:\Somewhere\Program.exe %1 You need to quote the %1: C:\Somewhere\Program.exe "%1" A lot of programs tend to have this problem. [edit] It needs you to change... I seem to be forget...
I was using VLC a lot yesterday (crashed it a few times) and today I noticed my screen saver timeout was set to 1 minute, much less than it should have been.
That, and after 49.7 days, some programs that use timers will fail due to timer wraparound (system uptime reaches 4,294,967,295ms, the max 32-bit value).
