The VideoLAN Forums

Hi! I remember there was some bug regarding the mute (multimedia in general) button. In full screen mode. Well today I run VLC 1.0.5 in window mode , palyed a movie and noticed the mute button on my HP nw8440 laptop does not work. It works if I make another window active and press it then. (VLC is p...

v1.0.5 If I play a DVD ISO image file, and the DVD menu starts playing, the "Next Chapter/Title" button does not work or it restarts the menu animation. Is this normal? I expected to start some part of of the movie. I tried with two different images. Otherwise they play normally (by select...

This belongs inthe "Forum, Website and Artwork discussion" < http://forum.videolan.org/viewforum.php?f=10 >, but that is the problem. I can not read that forum. It says: You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum. Why is that? Isn't that a general site/forum ...

On the page http://www.videolan.org/, in the 1.0.4 announcement the changelog (NEWS file*) was forgotten. Again. Why not make a permanent link in the upper part of text? It is the same URL always, so it is fix-once thing that will work "forver". * - http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc-b...

I also tried using a MKV/VC-1 file, but is the same.

Am I overlooking something?

This might sound stupid, but how does one stream a video file with VLC as is, without any transcoding? Simply: - select menu Media / Streaming... ctrl+S - Add... a file (an AVI, with XVID video and mpga audio) - click Stream - Add Destination : HTTP 0.0.0.0 port 80 - turn off the "Activate Tran...

Thanks.

A few other notes:
- RC3 is announced, but the file http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/NEWS still has rc2 in ti
- are the changes between RCs listed anywhere ? (the NEWS file has only the changes from 0.9.9 to the actual RC)

I don't follow.

So there is some step in the procedure, where the URL is stored inside XML, then retreived and the final URL is not the same as the original ?

Well that is plain simple "XML not done correctly". Unless I misunderstood.

Can you give an example ?

But in this very particular case of Zip demux/access, I can't rely on a simple URL-encoding (one reason being that XML reading will automatically decode % stuff... yeah there's XML somewhere :-/). % should be transparent to XML. Unless it is yet another case of "our own invented implementation...

You think the unix guys did not test this with jar: protocol ?

Usually, the Unix guys don't care about windows, if you see what I mean.

I don't.

URLs etc. are platform independent standards.

You mean if it is updated below as I change it above ?
No it isn't.

PS: Does this work on your system ?

Special characters in URLs can (and must) be escaped in the percent notation. Example: jar:file:///folder1/wonderful.zip%21!/dir_in_zip/file_in_zip You think the unix guys did not test this with jar: protocol ? ;) Also all other "funny" cases work. As I said, this is thought over and teste...

Seems fixed now. The notification I received for your post has correct URLs.

I tried 1.0.0-rc1

It is much worse.
It basically kills the system.

The picture also seems compressed (JPEG like artifacts), even if I unckeched the transcoding option.

Hi! Today I got some Topic reply notifications and the links to the forum are all wrong. Example: If you want to view the newest post made since your last visit, click the following link: http://forum.videolan.org:443/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=59461&p=198643&e=198643 If you want to view the to...

And if you want the NEWS file: http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/NEWS I know where that file is. The millions of people visiting the site might not, on the other hand. It was linked in some release news, then not in others. IMO it is a very useful document for everyone considering an update, s...

Google throws out this:

Let me complete the first post: Already existing jar scheme, that works wit ZIP files. (JAR files are just ZIP files with changed file name)

Not. Yet.

Hi!

In the changelog for 1.0.0 I see:

* On-the-fly zip file decompression and browsing (MRL of the form zip://file.zip|file.avi to specify the file)

Did you consider the already existing* jar URI scheme ?

About the "VLC 1.0.0-rc1 and skins contest" news item on http://www.videolan.org/

- the link to the windows binaries gives a 404 error
- there is no list of changes/news or a link to it

Otherwise thumbs up !

VLC 0.9.9 on WinXP Pro 32-bit SP3

When I select the Help / Check for Updates... menu, the dialog shows an error (with no details) :



Clicking recheck gives the same result.

Changing the text to : "We strongly recommend all users to update to this new version when it becomes available."
would clear up any confusion and misunderstandings.
