I like vlc player too, and it is hard to convince my girlfriend to use ubuntu instead of win when we can't even watch a dvd on my computer. The other thing that particularly makes this one nasty is that the crash is completely silent unless you run it from the terminal. I agree with Rémi, it should ...

My aim is not to argue over who is to blame, it is to find out who to inform of the problem. All you wrote in your initial reply was "sorry, it won't work and there is nothing more to do." I think I found the bug on ubuntu's launchpad here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstream...

Hi,

I am trying to use the default 'jump' hotkeys in os x snow leopard, vlc 1.03. The only one that works is 'command+option+direction', none of the others work and I get a beeping sound telling me that isn't a valid hotkey. Anyone know how to get these working?
