Yeah, for me its mostly FLAC files that stutter, I got one today that plays for 30 secs then hangs. After a delay skips on to next file in playlist, starts, plays 13 secs, hangs, delay, next file, etc. These files play perfectly well in macOS itself in Quickview (I think I did something a long time ...

Since upgrading to this release I have audio stutter. It only occurs in VLC Player and only in this version. I have tried increasing the File Caching to 15,000 ms, turned off Hardware Decoding and altering the Caching Level in basic settings. None of this has really helped. I am running macOS Monter...

Sleep is defined by Apple in this case. :) In System Preferences > Energy Saver, there are 2 sliders, one labeled 'Computer sleep' and the other 'Display sleep'. The default is for both of them to be set at 10 minutes, which is what I set my computer at. However, if I set 'Display sleep' to 1 minute...

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to contradict you but on my iMac Mid-2011, uTorrent does continue downloading even when Energy Saving so-called Sleep mode(s) kick in. Even your VLC 1.1 continues to work in Sleep mode, playing audio playlists until they finish. It is only since VLC 2.x that this does...

Just found the answer to this problem: download VLC Player v1.1.x!

I have the exact same problem on my iMac. I wish they would do something about it.

Seems this same problem occurs on Windows too: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... io#p408045

Same thing happens on Mac OS too. I started a thread about it here: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... ep#p410135

Fair comment, but the fact is that the default Energy Saver settings in Mac OS 10.9.3 (at least) are 10 mins for both Computer Sleep and Display Sleep. When that kicks in, VLC Player actually continues playing, but with audio muted. Just like uTorrent, for example, continues downloading when in Slee...

Still suffering from the Sleep-Audio-KIll. Actually what is written above is not strictly true. What happens is, VLC Player continues functioning when the computer is in Sleep mode, just the audio is muted. Upon awakening, if any other item in the playlist is 2x clicked it will play as normal with s...

I found the solution. There was a Remote Buddy kext System/Library/Extensions/RBIOKitHelper.kext that needed to be deleted. Once deleted and restarted, the IR functionality is normal again and I can use it with VLC Player. Thanks.

I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac with Mac OS 10.9.2 installed. I have a white plastic Apple Remote. 1. If I go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Advanced and Disable remote control infrared receiver, it does not disable the Apple Remote. 2. If I press Play on the Apple Remote it always...

Sidebar is hidden already thanks, asoksevil. I wish to reduce the size of the window itself below the present fixed minimum.

Yes, I do need to see the playlist. Thanks.

Mac OS 10.9.4 VLC Player 2.1.5 In a future version of VLC Player, I humbly ask that the minimum size for the Main Window be reduced. I use VLC Player for audio files as well as video. I never use iTunes. When in use for audio playback, the main window contains the playlist and for my purposes does n...

Mac OS 10.9.4 VLC Player 2.1.5 Energy Saving set to Default (10 mins) If I load a set of audio files (mp3) for listening in VLC Player and then do not use the computer for other activity, the Energy Saver facility in Mac OS comes into effect, specifically the Display Sleep function and Computer Slee...

...Be nice to see a post on this thread from the Admin acknowledging the bug & saying that it'll get fixed in the next release.

Latest observation: The functional behaviour stops if the system is restarted. iTunes must again be started and quit to restore Apple Remote functionality within VLC Player. However, XBMC continues to work correctly with Apple Remote independent of iTunes having been run or not. Therefore this seems...

Seems like I found a solution. What I've done is stopped XBMC from starting using the remote 'Menu' button, then I started iTunes - which I never use - to check if the remote would work with it. It did, so then I started a video in VLC Player and the remote worked, whilst iTunes was open. So I quit ...

Hi, I hope you are well. I have an Apple iMac 27" May 2011 model, running Mac OS 10.9 and VLC Player 2.1.4. I have an Apple Remote. I was using Mac OS 10.9.2 and recently upgraded to 10.9.3. The Apple Remote works perfectly with XBMC media player. The Apple Remote used to work perfectly with VL...

OS X 10.8.4

Listening to some Mp3s and when Energy Saving comes on, audio stops playing. How to rectify this, ie music to continue playing, without altering settings in System Preferences / Energy Saving hopefully?

Thanks. Have a nice day.

Thank you.

Hi, VLC media player Version 2.0.4 Twoflower (Intel 64bit) on OS X 10.8.2 I recently upgraded to the above version from 1.9.x. I have found that if I watch a video in full-screen mode, when the video finishes the Main Window of VLC Player copies the video window and fills the screen; this did not ha...

Thanks.
