Hello, I'm currently trying to play some old xvid ogms and am running across repeated messages of "picture is too late to be displayed" I currently have caching turned up to 6k milliseconds with no impact. EDIT: I've converted the ogm in question to matroska using mkvtoolnix as a test and ...

Re: MKV stuttering

I've tried it with 2.1.4 and 2.2.0 git (latest build on the vlc nightlies page for x86_64). behavior is the same with both. Local file on OS drive (I wanted to exclude any...

I've tried some with too many tracks to count, and others with just one, and it appears the number doesnt matter, but they do have subs. (I think they're ASS-the abbreviation, NOT the swear word!!)

Recently, I've been running into a lag in opening matroska files in vlc. This is something which has not happened in my years of using the program. I upgraded from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 but the problem still persists. Standard definition is taking 15 or more seconds. I've gone digging in the settings, and ...

Re: multi-part matroska chaptering.

a) this needs some development time, and I am not sure anyone is working on that since mkv is a mess.
isn't it always!

Playlist problem on recent daily build.

I have come across a particularly nasty bug in VLC's playlisting and am interested in whether or not it's a known issue. If I load a playlist with matroska and avi files, the player will fail to play any AVI files after the first matroska file (and will refuse to play anything from then on, but does...

Re: QUIT AND PLAYLIST DISAPPEARS

if you make a playlist you can save it under "file" menu.

you can then reopen that playlist later on, assuming the files in question are still in the same place : )

Re: Help with Player

it should be on the disk image for vlc (the one you downloaded to install the player) if you deleted that image you can always fetch another from the site. (protip, it's best to copy everything on the image to a folder marked with the VLC version number in your apps folder, the notes and scripts are...
