As far as I know, rPI OS ships VLC with a custom video output by default, so probably nobody here can help

Yes, this is correct, see patches here.
@OP - can open an issue against the package here.

Thanks for the feedback. I was finally able to get hardware decoding to work on Arch ARM. Doing so required a patched ffmpeg and modified vlc. My draft PKGBUILDs are here in case others happen upon this thread: https://github.com/graysky2/PKGBUILDs/commits/vlc-rpi

Thank you for the reply. I booted into RPiOS 11 and as you said, not a single error. Verbose log on RPiOS11 there. However, I do not believe that the warnings are causing this. If I run the same command on my Arch Linux x86_64 box, the file plays back just fine and the verbose log contains a number ...

Here is a verbose log: https://gist.github.com/graysky2/43bb24 ... ec9d1fabd7

I am compiling VLC on Arch ARM aarch64 using a slightly modified recipe from the current distro default to include the following configure options: --enable-omxil --enable-omxil-vout --enable-rpi-omxil . I managed to get the build to work but the resulting binary is not able to playback an x265 test...

I am experiencing delays when seeking video content using vlc version 2.2.2-3 under Arch Linux. Is there a good way to debug? I have tried both the official package and also building from git (r6951.g46e250e) but both suffer from the same delays upon seeking. In contrast, using mpv to play the same ...

...is there a compile time or GUI option needed to enable this feature?

Please update. This was fixed in VLC 2.2.0. I am running the latest release :/ % vlc --version VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42) VLC version 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (2.2.1-0-ga425c42) Compiled by builduser on (Jun 9 2015 08:55:27) Compiler: g...

Is there a setting to read the metadata that iphones write into their videos and then auto rotate during playback? For example, shoot a video on your iphone vertically initially, then still while shooting it, rotate the screen horizontally. Now, play back this video with VLC. Currently, VLC is unawa...

I just fixed it. Thank you! Building from git now and will report back. EDIT: Yes! Worked. % vlc --version VLC media player 2.0.6 Twoflower (revision 2.0.5-165-g6355a18) VLC version 2.0.6 Twoflower (2.0.5-165-g6355a18) Compiled by graysky on localhost.localdomain (Apr 1 2013 15:44:56) Compiler: gcc...

You could, yes

Thanks, I added comment #6 requesting it to be reopened but didn't see any formal way to do it: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/8260#comment:6

Works with vlc.git, but not 2.0-git

Yes, I too can verify this. Does that mean that we should re-open bug #8260 since the stable tree should not have this problem?

Please share a file.

Here is a non-copyrighted file that exhibits this behavior: http://www.educationalquestions.com/vid ... 5_768k.wmv

Use 2.0.6 I have compiled it from git but the audio is still messed-up. The static is gone, but there are horrible echo effects in the audio stream of wmv files. I used the example wmv file posted in my bug report as an example. Here is a video I took of my freshly compiled 2.0.6 from git playing a...

Much like this post , vlc v2.0.5 on Arch Linux cannot properly play wmv files. The audio is basically static although video seems fine. I understand from bug #8260 that the problem is not due to vlc. *I compiled vlc from git and found no change. *I have tried downgrading my ffmpeg package to the poi...

Using Arch Linux here; I see there is a dev version in the AUR here. Currently it builds1.1.0rc3. Thanks for the info!

I've seen a few older threads about this, but nothing relating to the current release. How can one enable VDPAU with HD h264 or mpeg files? Is VDPAU implied under the "Accelerated video output (Overlay)" option? I didn't see a VDPAU option in the "Output" pulldown. Does one need ...

...also, does it capture audio?

I have vlc 1.0.4 on Arch Linux and am trying to use vlc to capture a desktop movie. I've followed some guides to this effect like this one , but I think the dialogs have been updated in 1.0.4 and I can't see to get it working. $ vlc screen:// This brings up a new vlc window but I have no idea how to...

Just installed 1.0.3 and when I double-click a video file a new windows options entitled, "VLC (hardware YUV overlay DirectX output" that has no buttons/VLC GUI. How can I disable this behavior?

Man, I have the same problem w/ my vlc on lenny amd64: after I installed some stuff from the http://www.debian-multimedia.org repo, my vlc doesn't display xvid at all :( I had the same problem with vlc 0.8.6.e-2.3+b1 in debian-testing and solved it as follows: -- Uninstall vlc and all its dependenci...
