Re: Unable to find chromecast with "Render" Stuck on "Scanning"

It's disheartening that almost three full YEARS after this solution was provided -- and it works 100% of the time -- no official fix has been provided by the VLC team for this problem. I guess it's time I start researching an alternate video player. That's not a fix, that's a workaround. It looks l...

Re: Unable to find chromecast with "Render" Stuck on "Scanning"

Since it's not trivial for others to make my script above work (in absense of the needed program), please try the following instead. It will basically do the same as the script: If VLC is stuck on scanning for renderer, then use VLC to open a random multicast network stream in the range of address ...

Re: The AVI file is broken... BUT THEY ARE NOT BROKEN

I can confirm this bug has now been squashed in the latest bugfix branch of VLC, v1.1.0-rc-20100518-0202 The Luggage.

Thanks to everybody who helped out!

Re: The AVI file is broken... BUT THEY ARE NOT BROKEN

Since we've not had any response here, I've gone ahead and created a bug report summarizing the details myself:

http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/3512

Since this thread is a few weeks old now, I'll try the absolute latest nightly bugfix / dev builds again just as soon as I've got a moment.

Re: Screen Tearing isue during fast scenes in a movie

Just remembered to come back and update this myself, too. I spoke too soon on my previous post - Frypan's fix has definitely made things much, MUCH better, but there are still some videos I'm seeing very bad shearing / v-sync issues in, mostly those with fast panning motion of bold, contrasty backgr...

Re: Screen Tearing isue during fast scenes in a movie

Just untick "Resize interface to video size" on the Interface Settings in preferences, restart VLC and you're done. -- (clicking save is not enough, you need to restart VLC before the change kicks in) Thanks a million - just got fed up of the vsync-like shearing and came to dig through th...

Re: How to force Volume to Max 100% only ???

There are ways to avoid distortion within VLC. 1. Prevent VLC from permitting user adjustment of volume control > 100%: In Tools | Preferences set Show Settings to All In interface | Main Interfaces | Qt | Uncheck Allow the volume to be set to 400% Save There's a minor bug in this option, in that i...

Re: External audio track

Does this work for anybody in any current Windows version? I've tried it with the current VLC 0.9.9 release, as well as the latest nightly builds of both 1.0.0 and 1.1.0, and it doesn't work in any of the above for me. Here's what I'm doing: Media :: Advanced Open File - Click Add and select my main...

Yup, I can also confirm this is definitely *not* fixed for me by 1.0.0 on Windows Vista.
