Sorry to hear about your issues. Just a disclaimer: the wiki link should be your main source. The checklist was meant for extra information: if it's wrong/confusing I would go back to the source. It is better written/detailed than mine. I think you are getting `__Unwind_SjLj_Register'" because ...

Yeah, I have been meaning to clean up the list and go through everything one more time, but I've been bogged down with other issues (as well as the DVD playback time mentioned in another thread) Shouldn't mingwutils be extracted to mingw? Yes. :oops: . I edited it above. Also, shouldn't "C:\Min...

Okay. I'll provide a git dif sometime over the next several days.

Thanks for the feedback/input.

i.e. the UI slider will teleport after the inaccurate seek has completed. I agree: the UI slider does teleport after the inaccurate seek. If the user works off slider alone, then I think the user would be fine. However, the problem is with the "Playback" -> "Jump To Specific Time&quo...

Okay. I went through each of the Video Output options on vlc-1.1.0-rc-20100523-0202 (restarting before each load). It seems that only DirectX (DirectDraw) causes it it crash. All the others work.

Also, I tried DirectX on vlc-1.2.0-git-20100523-0002. It doesn't crash.

Hope this helps.

I figured out the discrepancy. VLC uses dvdnav_get_position to get the time and dvdnav_sector_search to set the time. Both these methods take a "pos" argument. However, "pos" is in blocks, not time. Blocks are not consistently the same size across all frames, so the time will be ...

Okay. Thanks for clarification. I was unable to reproduce the seeking issue when playing the file directly from my hard drive (tried different video outputs). I did get it when using "Open Network Stream". However, I'm guessing that is normal because youtube leverages its own api to get th...

Work fine. But seeking problem. Thanks for looking. But what do you mean by seeking problem? Are you seeing messages like mine below, and saying this is a seeking problem (sorry, seeking is vague to me) I'm sorry but I can't reproduce the problem, neither with the "Open Network Stream" op...

Also doesn't crash: Preferences -> Video -> Output -> Dummy video output function
HTH

I tried the following
- deactivating video
- loaded video file
- music plays
- ctrl-alt-delete: music still plays
- activated video
- loaded video file
- video plays
- ctrl-alt-delete: video crashes

Also, I verified that this crashes on another SP3 machine.
Hope this helps

I have another Windows XP machine, but it was SP2. I can confirm that it doesn't crash there.

Maybe this is an SP3/SP4 issue? Can anyone confirm with Vista/7?

I also created the following ticket: http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/3653

Okay. I tried a few more things. I've done the following on my main machine (not the other XP machine I mention below). I went through the three routines listed below. In each case, I listened to the file/link for 1 minute. - ran VLC media player 1.1.0-rc-20100519-0202 The Luggage; chose "Open ...

This may not be the best place for this topic. My apologies if so, and please move/lock/purge if incorrect. As I described in this topic http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=76308 , I wanted to compile VLC on my machine in order to look at how it was reporting time for DVD playback. Ho...

For anyone interested, I finally got make working on vlc today. I ended up starting over, and the earlier "library not found" errors went away. I'll post a checklist later for anyone who needs additional pointers. Also, I verified that xine does report correct times. That probably means th...

Thanks for checking. I've tried the nightly vlc-1.1.0-rc-20100519-0202-win32-debug.zip (and also the 20100519-0202-win32.7z) and it still drops I've tried the nightly on another Windows XP machine. It also skips, but the interval is longer (approximately 18 seconds) This same machine plays the flv f...

Thanks for the tip. I tried vlc "dvd://F:\Battlestar Galactica\Season 1\Disc 1\VIDEO_TS" and vlc "dvdsimple://F:\Battlestar Galactica\Season 1\Disc 1\VIDEO_TS". Same time results in both (as shown above). The only difference I noticed between is that dvdsimple went straight to ti...

Okay. I created a ticket here: http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/3642. I just copied and pasted the text from my post.
Let me know if you need other information. Thanks.

I'm on Windows SP3. If I press Ctrl-Alt-Delete during playback, VLC 1.1pre2/pre4 will crash silently, but immediately. 1.0.0 GoldenEye does not crash. Crashing happens regardless of video type. I've tried playing several videos of different formats: flv, avi, mpeg, dvd. Audio files do not cause a cr...

Okay. After spending some time looking at the source, it looks like vlc is using external libraries libdvdnav or libdvdread which is ifo aware. Also, I see some dvd-specific code in access/dvdnav.c and access/dvdread.c. I'll try to compile the code on my side and debug, though this will easily take ...

Hi all. As per subject, flash videos (.flv) drop sound every 6-15 seconds. Audio will have a temporary blip of silence every 6-15 seconds. It continues to drop sound for the remainder of playback. Video will play fine. For example, in the uploaded file http://www.mediafire.com/?c2immrfwzet , the sou...

Okay. Thanks for the confirm. I have to admit, it's pretty odd to have playback times that don't match reality, much less the DVD standard. For what it's worth, I can parse the chapter times from the IFO files based on information here http://dvd.sourceforge.net/dvdinfo/index.html . However, from wh...

Hi all. This is a problem specific to VLC, but I am posting this in libVLC development, because I'm hoping to get a more technical answer. Also, someone else posted this same issue in General Troubleshooting and it seems to have gone lost in the noise: http://88.191.250.119/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7...

Do you know if that structure has to be freed natively? Sorry. I'm new to JNA, and I can't say. I'm assuming that JNA takes care of all garbage collection and freeing memory. I looked through the docs and api now, and can't find any language otherwise. I found this post http://osdir.com/ml/java.jna...

For anyone interested... I figured out how to get subtitle/audio descriptions for all tracks. For example, libvlc_video_get_spu_description returns a libvlc_track_description_t. It will return back id and name for item0 but only a pointer to item1. To get the description for item1 (and others) * Cha...
