A behavior of VLC that has been annoying for years is that it can't quite seem to save and restore the position of the window between sessions. One problem that sometimes happens is that each time you run it, it shrinks the window more and more. Another is that it is placed at the wrong place. The r...
I found two videos that exhibit this behavior so far. The logs are each 30Kb (the post limit here is 2Kb): pastebin.com/4C83S2iw pastebin.com/q23A4U8n Here are the two clips: mediafire.com/file/jmytdb8xudcw78t They both work just fine in 1.1.11 and 2.2.8 and have corruption in 3.0.5. They're both h....
VLC 3 has an issue where for some videos, the picture gets garbled, then clears up, then repeats. The same videos play just fine in VLC 2 and lower. (I'm sure this has been reported before, but it's too hard to describe or pin-down so it's hard to search for existing threads. Hopefully this thread c...
In VLC 3, taking a snapshot while subtitles are active horizontally squishes the capture. Snapshots without subtitles are correct. In VLC 2 and below, snapshots are correct with or without subtitles. This behavior exists for DVDs and video files of all containers and encoders, as well as internal an...
there is a workaround with key remapping for Mac users. There should be an equivalent keyremapping applicaton for windows. AutoHotkey is good on Windows (and Linux). now everytime I press the "menu" button on my Apple Remote, BTT sends to VLC a: "S" (toggles subtitle track 1 to ...
It's because you have set a negative value for the subtitle position and version 3+ uses negative values as relative to the top of the screen. That's good, but it also makes it impossible to lower the subs below the (too-high) default. I have always set it to -80px so that it is flush with the botto...
You can get them easily, not in the toolbar. Exactly. This basic information is indeed available, but only by jumping through hoops. Worse, when you right-click the video and select a sub-menu, it often ends up opening a different sub-menu before you can select a sub-sub-menu, so in addition to hav...
I suspect mastermik125 above has provided enough info as to exactly what's causing it, and it seems to mostly (only?) be an issue with Warner Bros DVDs. Hmm, there definitely does seem to be a pattern. I just had this issue again with Argo which is indeed a WB movie. I did not notice any logos for ...
When playing a video file, VLC will correctly list the filename (or title extracted from the file) in the title-bar of its window and use it in snapshot filenames in place of the $N variable, but not with DVDs. When playing a DVD, it will detect the disc’s volume-label (e.g., in the Open Media dialo...
the only way that I can see of finding current title & chapter values during DVD playback is to go to playback drop down menu - then to sub menus ( twice) to see what is highlighted for each of title & chapter. is there a quicker / easier way to get this info on screen or into main toolbar ...
It auto adjusts if the quality is set to "auto", if you set it to just "720p" then it'll only buffer that, but it still won't buffer all the way which is stupid. Oh okay, I didn’t even notice there was an auto-quality setting. I use YouTube Center to always force 240p since that...
It's not to discourage downloading, that's just a nice coincidence for them. DASH playback is Youtube's form of adaptive video streaming. Having two separate streams for Video and Audio allows the player to buffer 1 audio track, but change the video quality on the fly without interrupting playback....
I wonder why youtube began to serve their videos in two streams (dash case)? what were the reasons? Probably to discourage people downloading the videos. They prefer people to waste bandwidth (on both sides) to watch videos online so that Google can profit from ads (assuming you haven’t blocked the...
Raccoon’s idea is good, it is just like how VLC loads subtitles. It has nothing to do with Youtube, they just happen to be the current use-case scenario, otherwise this could apply to any video/audio pair.
It is very annoying when watching a movie or something with subtitles on and the subtitles obscure the picture. Subtitles are supposed to be sub -titles, as in below the picture, or above the picture, but certainly not on top of the picture. Manually setting the subtitle position is no good because ...
It happened again. I was trying to watch Exodus (which is an old movie), but because the movie has a letterbox built into the picture, I had to crop to 16:9 to get it to show full-screen, but that completely cut out the subtitles which made it really hard to watch because the audio is a little flat ...
Of course, it's an open source tool, with a small team. So features that are very rare or not really mainstream do not get selected by the core team. Fair enough, but this is hardly rare; the ability to have the player sit unobtrusively in the corner of the screen without being in the taskbar or Al...
Code it. I think it's a bad idea and distracting. Again, just because it’s distracting to you doesn’t mean that nobody else wants it (otherwise this thread wouldn’t even exist). Like I said, the solution is to simply make it disabled by default, and that goes for any and all options which you think...
If you crop the video, then the subtitle offset (forced position) is completely ignored. This is really frustrating because the subtitles are then cut off. For example, I am trying to watch Quiz Show . The movie is widescreen, but it is old, so when they made the DVD, they made it fullscreen. That i...
You have to change subtitle position from VLC settings. (You can also setup hotkeys for subtitle up and down) That’s the wrong way to do it; the user shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to do something that should be obvious and automatic. The correct way to fix this issue (and it is still an issu...
It would be annoying, since a media player icon would almost always have it running and it is distracting. Ah ha! I knew I had seen this topic before. Like I said in the other thread, just because you may find it distracting is not a good excuse to prevent everybody from having it. Just make it def...
- Progress indicator: no way, it is confusing. To whom? Just because some people may not like it does not mean that everybody should be purposely deprived of it. Simply make it default to being off, then anyone who gets “confused” by it or finds it distracting or whatever won’t even notice it exist...
In VLC 1.x, adjusting the volume in either direction would un-mute, and in VLC 2.x, neither direction un-mutes. Both methods are half-correct and half-incorrect. It is convention that when something is muted, pressing volume-down leaves it muted, but pressing volume-up un -mutes it. This is logical ...
With VLC 2.x, whenever the video is switched to fullscreen, it resizes just fine, but when it is switched out of fullscreen , there is a delay (~0.5~2 seconds) before the video is resized back down to the window. Here are some observations: The delay is much shorter ( almost , but not quite unnotice...
