HW: Radeon HD 5450 (OSS driver), a Core2-vintage PC OS: Kubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (AMD64) VLC 2.2.2 I've been using VLC for quite a few years but this time I've set up a "new old" box for playing media. This is just a list of issues I ran into and tried to find a solution for before the result w...

imhere: could you post your findings about subtitle performance to vlc-devel mailing list? I sent a message to vlc-devel where I described what I think is the immediate cause of the bug (too extensive code cleanup prior to 1.0.0) and the underlying cause (slow access to memory). In the mean time, t...

Remove unneeded stuff from http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob;f=modules/video_filter/deinterlace.c (remove defines, remove static void RenderZZZZ, update mode_list and mode_list_text, update SetFilterMethod etc.) Thanks. After some searching I did find an easier way: In file src/video_output...

No extras/package/win32/configure-msys.sh Well, there was no such file in the source archive. I found it by browsing http://git.videolan.org/ . However, since INSTALL.win32 says Once you've got all the files you need in place, you need to configure the build with the `./configure' script. I'll assu...

There are configure scripts for windows, in extras/packages/win32 that avoid all this mess about your configure.

Yes, there seems to be some Windows configuration file vlc.win32.nsi.in in that directory in the source archive, presumably for the auto-installer package. How is this relevant?

You can build VLC with only certain Deinterlace methods if you don't want the rest. It really seems compile-it-yourself is the only way to get things done. Since this reply, I've found a couple of other messages about what is essentially the same problem: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=1...

I once had a problem like this when the Program Clock Reference (PCR) was missing from the transport stream. It's okay to be without one, if for example the video stream has been set as the PCR. However, if a separate PCR PID is used it must be present. VLC seems to be picky about this. Since the fo...

Why? Because it sometimes clashes with DVB subtitling. I'm playing back DVB TS files, usually including DVB subtitles. In order to enable the correct language subtitles automatically when present, I've defined a language in the 'Preferred subtitles language' window, in my case 'fi' for Finnish. This...
