Hi, I just noticed that with VLC 3.0 the codec info dialog has been changed. I am missing the color subsampling info (not sure if the option was called so exactly) - I mean the entry that usually showed values like "4:2:0" or "4:2:2". Why was that entry removed from the codec inf...

I looked into the source code of VLC and found out that the sensitivity of the function "seek via touch" bases on the xdpi value, a value provided by the OS.
This value is unusual high (4 times higher than it should be).

Hi, I have a small problem with the function that allows to seek forward/backward the video by a touching the display and the moving the finger horizontally. In my current 10" tablet this seeking function only allows me to seek +/- 30 seconds if I use the whole screen width of 21cm (e.e. start ...

My knowledge about NSIS is very limited but from my point of view this seems to address exactly this problem: http://nsis.sourcefor...

Thank you very much.

Let me guess: registration of the ActiveX component?

OK, if copying the files is not enough at least the re-use of the installation settings would be nice. The available settings so not change frequently and they could be saved and re-used upon a new installation.

Hi, I like VLC very much but I have one problem with it: Every time when a new version comes out there is no way to upgrade an installation. because of the relative high frequency of new versions this is IMHO a problem: You always have to deinstall the old version and the install the new version and...
