The VideoLAN Forums

Currently vlc only uses a maximum of 1.5 cores during rendering of even the most tenaciously encoded H.264 videos that I can find. Often, on machines with multiple cores, there are rendering issues for HD content that are related to the time it takes to render the MPEG video via the ffmpeg libraries...

most likely we should take this part of the conversation off line - I'll try contacting you directly via the forum

hi,bryanair, I used your solution to patch the VLC. But the h264 RTP stream including B frames was still "shudders"(jittery). Thanks for your suggestion. There may be more than one problem, as Bob wrote in detail. If you're running this on Linux / BSD, using live555, you will want the rel...

which video server were you using? We had to patch a specific open-source video server that sends inaccurate RTCP server reports every few seconds, and if you're using the same video server, that may be your problem. FYI the reason for the inaccurate server reports is that the application maintains ...

there was an inadvertent "smiley" inserted into the patch code - the line should read more like

if(i_frag_pts && p_sys->slice.i_frame_type != 8 )

Over the last several weeks I have been involved in a project ( for Airgain, Inc. ) in which we have a need to produce the highest possible quality streaming video using specific encodings and format. In the process I have discovered (and corrected) several minor problems in the vlc 0.9.8a player th...

Are you building the latest (or close to the latest) version from source? If this is the case... I posted a new topic regarding the use of XSync in xcommon.c - since this is related, do you think you can you try the following code change? in the source file modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c in the ...

(informal introduction - I am a member of the same software team as Bryan. I'm Bob Frazier, and I am temporarily taking over the work on vlc that Bryan was doing) One of the problems we have been seeing during video playback is a "tearing" or "shearing" effect that resembles the ...

http://www.jbkempf.com/~jb, You will get some contribs. Thank you - and as you posted 7z file with VM there too, I was able to cross compile for Windows. However even before I compiled, I extracted the vlc exe and dlls from the VM - this build will not play from Darwin Streaming Server any more (al...

http://people.videolan.org/ can not open now.... what's the matter? I put a copy of latest contrib I could find, here you go http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=55411&p=183345&hilit=contrib#p183345 The wiki...Compile pages have this location but most recent is 2008-08 http://...

That broken pipe fix might be failing if someone copied it from the screen or from the quote in the forum, rather than copying directly from the /usr/bin/libtool line which has tabs, not spaces. Or use [[:blank:]] as shown http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=55405&p=183346&hil...

Your pipe fix is close, but pasted badly. The [ ] should be tab character in there. Since tab turns into spaces when pasting you could substitute [[:blank:]], like this: # Take the output of nm and produce a listing of raw symbols and C names global_symbol_pipe="sed -n -e 's/^.*[[:blank:]]\([AB...

I'm pretty sure for GIT compile you need yet newer contribs The people.videolan.org server is down, where in forum I read about contrib-20081021-win32-bin-gcc-4.2.1-sjlj-runtime-3.13-only.tar.bz2 I found it somewhere and put a copy here for you until server is back up http://godspeed.to/airgain/vide...
