Re: Memory issue when using vlc as a background streaming ap

You should valgrind to find the leak.
OK, I'll look into that shortly, thanx.

Memory issue when using vlc as a background streaming app.

Hi. I use vlc to redirect my hauppauge pvr150 analog tv card output (about 6Mbit/s) to a http stream in a background process. I do this so my pvr signal is usable on multiple computers at the same time. This usually works fine, I can watch the same channel at multiple locations simultaneously. But: ...

Re: vlc crashes X

Searching around a bit, I came across a very long thread that had the solution. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/650539 and for the most comments #124 and #127. summation: -It is not vlc's fault! -It is very probably only apparent in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) -you need to enable ...

Re: vlc crashes X

It looks like it has to do with the Qt interface. A program like avidemux, which I sometimes used for converting a pvr recording (through vlc) has two entries in the repository, a Qt interface and a GTK+ interface. I installed both. When I launch the GTK+ version, I have no problem; when I launch th...

Re: vlc crashes X

Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and I have the same issue on maverick; I havent tested the xinerama setting yet (but it's on at the moment). As soon as vlc starts doing something (whether it be showing a file that I started through the command line, or just hovering over it with the mouse. Activating th...

Option for (mozilla(firefox)) plugin to respect config file

Since I moved to Fedora 10 and vlc 9.8 (9.9 in the meantime) I haven't been able to use the configuration saved in ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc while using the firefox plugin. This used to be able, but after searching the forums I found out that this is due to a change in a plugin configuration file while co...

Settings garbled after VLC upgrade

Grmpf! :-( I just got an automated update from my repository manager and the same problem appeared. Same solution worked, but now I have to adjust my settings all over again (I have altered some settings to my better liking). Is there a way to avoid this altogether and is it indeed an upgrading prob...

Re: Hotkeys to full customize zoom and aspect-ratio

I don't know about the zoom but you could use the hetkey "A" to cycle through aspect ratios while a video is playing ("C" hotkey to cycle through crop ratios). Default cropping of 16:9(10) does the job for me! Thanks, this helps me viewing my video files that are in 16:9(:10), b...

Re: Can't play AVI or MOV

edit: Reinstalled ffmpeg, vlc and other related files, no change. Deleted the .vlc directory again, and its working great now. VLC is great, Thanks, I've been looking for a solution to this problem that seems to have gotten a lot of victims, googling around a bit. I couldn't play any type of video;...
