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: ...
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 ...
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...
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).

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...
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...
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...
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;...
