Re: Support for xHE-AAC aka USAC

To clarify, foobar2000 plus the fdkaac plugin, is the only option I could find for playing xHE-AAC on windows 10, which has the downside that I laid out. On windows 11, windows media player will play the files, but it always comically starts playing the file at 2x speed and I must switch to 1.5 spee...

Re: Support for xHE-AAC aka USAC

YES! I think this needs to be at the top of the vlc to do list. It is 2 years, since this person requested. I would think that since Exhale, FDK, Foobar2000, are all open source, VLC could simply grab the foobar fdk.dll and be up and running, playing xHE-AAC within an hour by someone who knows what ...

Streaming YouTube to roku

Is there a way to share a roku video to vlc app, then cast it to thd Roku? Double speed would be a huge plus. I cannot stand watching video at anything under 1.4x. 1.7x is occasionally needed for a fast talker. I cannot watch- in evening- on phone, even dimmed, with shade over lay. It wakes me up to...

Sorry, but that line offers complaint on XP that the capture failed. Some of us don't have windows 7 or 8. The below works on xp (the quotes around exe path, probably needed for shortcuts more than batch): c:Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe -I qt --ttl 12 dshow:// :dshow-vdev="none" :dsh...

Re: Need help with command line

Also, my guess is the windows 7 and xp command lines are different. I have no idea how you come up with these command lines based on the vlc documentation. Like two separate conventions. The jbdub82 xp command line is first to work after much effort. the ahk convention would be. The vlc streamer con...

Re: VLC 2.0.0 RC1 is running slow on Core i7

I posted lagginess with single core and 420p video (which I use over 480, for size and encoding time).

Re: Getting VLC to play HULU

I installed the plugin, nightly build and 1.1. It appears as if both FF and Opera are still using adobe flash for at least hulu.com. Maybe, I am mistaken. Looks, however, like Opera is properly setup to use the vlc plugin. Perhaps, they override the Opera preferences via a javascript. Since, I do kn...

Re: network movies: how to open?

You need to mount the network filesystem with Linux CIFS if you want to see it in the Open File dialog. Newbie, so not aware of Linux CIFS yet. I was able to install smfs in ubuntu. And, intuitvely (not), I see it now in home/.gvfs directory. What about the priority? does a positive number raise or...

Re: network movies: how to open?

To answer my own question: you need to install smbfs Then the network should show up under home/.gvfs This should be fixed since this makes no sense. Also the gui is not clear if bumping up priority raises or lowers the priority. In the system monitor, you must lower the priority number to raise the...

Re: network movies: how to open?

Just to clarify, Yes I can find network and movie directly in file explorer equivalent. I can right click on file and tell it to open with vlc (still too new to know how to set file associations to fix this). But this is no good, since I cannot setup the disk caching in vlc. Moreover, i cannot setup...

Is there some option to display video or idea why not working? I see the h262.dll in plugin folder. My current theory is this is only a build, so because I didn't drop over old install, some dll may be corrupted. I suppose to test my theory I could install older version and install over it.
