The VideoLAN Forums

I believe this is related to the bug I have seen on my Windows 7 as well. I usually have the Volume Mixer open so that I can adjust the volume when necessary. Frequently I ran into the situation that all of a sudden that the Volume Mixer window turn black (just a windows with black background, like ...

Great! So simply changing all "file://" to "file:///" solves my problem. Thanks.

Could you please give the detailed changes so that I modify my old playlist to get it going? It's very easy for me to use vim (on Windows) to make changes if I know what to modify. Thanks.

The version branch-20090630-0004 vlc player cannot play the .xspf playlist saved by 0.9.9 or earlier (on both WIndows XP w/ SP3 and Vista w/ SP2.) When double click on the .xspf file, vlc starts to interpret the .xspf file. But instead of playing the video, it seems to have trouble finding the video...

Does this affect playback, or only the presentation in the playlist ?

No, it does not affect playback. But it affects the presentation and the flash of the title at beginning of each video. Thanks.

Hi, Tonight, I download the latest daily built, branch-20090626-0004, and immediately after the installing it, I found the following problem: 1) fire up vlc with playlist window open. 2) drag a file, say named 蘇州夜曲.mp4, into the playlist window. Instead of displaying the proper filename in the entry...

also in 1.0.0-rc2

It's still there as of vlc-1.0.0-rc3-20090616-0003-win32.exe. If you check the Information->Codec Details, it reports the video's frame rate is either 59.999 or 60 fps. Hope this helps.

Never mind. I found the problem (by studying the log) -- apparently I select the font as a subtitle file by accident on two of the machines. Sorry for the false alarm. Have a good day and a wonderful weekend. --SSS

Here you go (on Vista w/ SP2 and with "vlc-1.0.0pre2-20090507-2205-win32.exe" installed). Thanks. =========== Beginning of log ========== main debug: incoming request - stopping current input main debug: dying input main debug: control type=0 main debug: control: stopping input main debug:...

Hmm... the new nightly built has introduced a new bug. I took your advice and copy the font I want and point subtitle to use it. It works for couple days until I downloaded new nightly built and installed it this morning. Now whenever I play the playlist, a window pops up with the following error: V...

I found it -- "Ariel Unicode" font works! Thank you very much for your help. One more wish -- if there is a way to give a list of available fonts (like in Firefox or IE) for user to choose, that will be great. Not all users are hardy enough to even know where to look for font files.

Great! Now all letters are random patterns but a good sign -- it's just a matter of find the correct font file. Thank you very much for your help. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for the hint. Still I cannot get it to work. In Video -> Subtitle/OSD -> Text renderer, then in Font, I click on "Browse..." then go to C:\Windows\Fonts, I select the font, MS Gothic &MS PGothic &MS UI Gothic (True Type), I want and then click "Open", it always fal...

http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2701 should be fixed in 1.0.0 Indeed! I just download the nightly built and test it. The Title column is no longer showed up blank! Thanks for opening up a ticket and get this bug fixed. Still there is a bug that has been there since 0.9.8a -- at the beginning of...

I don't know since .mp4 files are the only type I ever tried. Thanks.

Hmm... this definitely does not work for me. I am using vlc 0.9.9 downloaded from VideoLAN website and I just try drag two video files into a blank vlc playlist window and save it. This time I do not have any non-English characters in the filename. Here is what it looks like: ----------------- <?xml...

I just want to make sure that we are talking about the same thing here. My problem is not that Title does not show in playlist window IF there is an entry of <title> ... </title> in the track record. The problem is that vlc 0.9.9 DOES NOT SAVE (or create ) that entry when saving a new playlist in .x...

Well, I am definitely not alone. At least two other users had similar problem: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57690&sid=225a0e0cf59ef6fb6d2d62939e8e789d#p192804 http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57690&sid=225a0e0cf59ef6fb6d2d62939e8e789d#p193574 I have ye...

Here is the way to repeat the problem (both in WIndows XP with SP3 and Vista with SP1): 1) Fire up vlc and display an empty playlist window. 2) Drag some video (or audio) files from Windows explorer into the playlist window. 3) Saved the playlist using .xspf format 4) Quit vlc and fire up a new one ...

Regarding that the saved playlist in .xspf format does not display title, I found the problem -- used to be that there is a field of "<title>name of the song</title>" that looks like: <track> <location>...</location> <title> ... </title> <================ <creator> ... </creator> <duration...

> I have had to create .m3u playlist files now... Creating .m3u works to some extend -- now I can see 'part' of the file name now. Unfortunately it does not solve my problem since most of my files are of the format "name of the song - artist". It manages to skip the part before the ' - ' a...

> It is a Font Support Issue ? I don't think so. Like I have mentioned, the same playlist worked perfectly in version 0.9.8a. Besides, when I created a new playlist (by firing up the vlc first and then dragged video files into playlist window), I can see all them. The problem occurs only after you s...
