Re: Volume Hotkeys Flaky When Playing

Looks like 2.0.1, as seen in Xubuntu 12.04, has solved this.

Volume Hotkeys Flaky When Playing

The volume hotkeys (default is Ctrl+Up/DnArrow) is flaky as can be. It happens ONLY when something is playing but not when idle. The setting bounces around randomly. Anyone else seeing this? This is my first look at VLC 2.0.0 in Linux Mint Debian with Update Pack 4. Otherwise, it's looking pretty go...

Re: How can I stop VLC from switching to maximized?

This has been happening for some time, here. I conclude the maximize gets set when you're in full-screen mode AND a media file completes (like going to the next file in a playlist). I find If I remember to exit full-screen mode prior to the end, it doesn't happen. If I forget (often) I go through a ...

Re: out-of-sync a/v using pulseaudio

The bleeding edge PPA finally got 1.1.12 to us Ubuntu 10.04 LTS users last week. Thumbs up! Sync solved.

Nothing else significantly touched it without breaking something else.

Re: out-of-sync a/v using pulseaudio

Hmmmm... I set the VLC "Audio Output Module" to ALSA and the sync problem is fixed. BUT... any glitch kills audio, even a stop/start. In particular, the live stream from TWiT (BitGravity). Anyone know why this wouldn't work? Another pulseaudio or VLC bug? I know ALSA is a pulseaudio module...

Youtube Firefox Integration Possible?

Not exactly a feature request so I posted here. Something may already exist. Looking for something like (ideas, please)... A Firefox extension that could add a right-click option to run VLC on the URL in a link. At that point, the existing LUA script will do the rest. Ideally it could be configured ...

For Linux Users

After discovering /usr/lib/vlc/lua/playlist/youtube.luac was a compiled version I tried a hunch and replaced it with the not-compiled fixed-up youtube.lua file from an XP install. Works great! Apparently, it doesn't matter if it's compiled or not. I use Parcellite (a clipboard manager) to kick off y...

Re: Play Truncates Early

Well known problem.
Architecturally difficult to get rid of? Related to lagging PAUSE response?

Play Truncates Early

Most noticeable on a tiny sound effect but I believe it's on everything. Output stops about 1/2 second early. If the clip is 1/2 second long, nothing is heard in Windows or Linux. Looks like output buffering delay not in sync with playback. Others seeing this? TIA and thanks for THE best player... a...

I think it's nailed with 1.1.2. Good job. :D

Re: mp3 drop-outs every 10 secs. on VLC 1.1.1

Forcing Mono seems to do it here. But I'm cautious - making changes can bury the problem for quite a while.

Re: mp3 drop-outs every 10 secs. on VLC 1.1.1

Ditto as everyone describes. Two systems, AMD and Intel. Started with 1.1.0-RC. I fiddled with blowing away configurations and some cache files. It *can* magically disappear for complete sessions. If I had to guess, skipping around seems to aggravate it. It's like a buffer corruption somewhere. MP3s...
