Can't browse non-ascii files on Oreo

With the MiBox (MDZ-16-AB) running on Oreo, Browsing (external usb drive) in VLC doesn't show any file with unicode file names - it seems to only show files with ascii names. Any known workaround?

Re: Mpeg Dash using input-slave?

Thanks for your reply. Input-slave works fine w/ 2.x on Windows. Any known reason why it works but playback is choppy on 2.x on Android?

Mpeg Dash using input-slave?

I'm using 2.0.6 and tried playing YouTube dash by playing a YouTube's video-only file and use input-slave= to play the audio file. This seems to work but the playback is quite choppy. Anyone has any idea why adding input-slave this way caused the issue? If input-slave isn't the right way to play mpe...

Re: Hardware Acceleration seems broken

Thanks so much for replying. I pulled the latest (master branch) from git (linked above). How do I tell which libvlc version and git hash now that I have the sources pulled down on a folder on my machine?

Hardware Acceleration seems broken

I compiled VLC for android from source and use the AAR file in my own android project. When updated to use the latest source (as of today from https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android.git), video playback is choppy and I see very high cpu usage when playing a 4K file. I did the same w/ the abo...

Re: SPDIF on tvOs

Hey ssbmaccom, is there any way to pass the options into the "media" instead of the "player"? The former is per media being played and the latter is per the entire player. For example, interlace option is best to pass in "per media" because depending on which video you ...

Re: mute playback before started

-1 means mute already so don't need to mute and unmutes. Pseudo code: 1. pass -1 as audio track into media/player 2. Set media to player 3. Play() 4. Delay (x millisecond) 5. player.currentAudioTrackIndex = 0 Since zero is the default audio track (as if you skipped step 1-2 above), I think the end r...

Re: mute playback before started

What I meant is pass in track -1 as option into the media/player. This effectively mute the audio at start up and you can change the track number afterward.

Re: mute playback before started

Look into passing the audio-track-to-play as an argument into the media/player. Similar to passing the audio-delay amount. I'm not sure how to do it exactly on VLCKit but with LibVLC in general, that is how you would do it before the player started playing. Do post your solution if you do get it to ...

Re: [Bug Report]Defect rendering mpeg2

Have you entered this issue to trac.videolan.org?
If not, I can do that for you and also add some screenshots.

And there has been a bug report a few weeks ago for android but this one is already closed (fixed).
Not yet, please do that for me as I don't have any screenshot now. Thanks a bunch.

Re: Problem when archiving TVOS application

Is Blend the default deinterlace mode (after creating a new VLCMediaPlayer object)? Whatever the default mode was has issues (...

I may send Felix the patch for this, so hopefully the nightly will inherit this ;-)
Please do, that would be helpful as I don't see any advantage of disabling bitcode?

Looks like the framework I gave you didn't have bitcode turned on - my mistake. I'll take a look and get back to you.

Re: Problem when archiving TVOS application

You'll have to build VLCTvKit youself and turn on bitcode. If you have trouble doing this, I can send you the latest compiled but in the long term, knowing how to build on your own machine might be helpful.
