I'm using the latest VLC, on pretty much every MKV I watch, there's always a random freeze, sometimes only a couple in 40 minutes, sometimes more. I've tried changing the threads in the demuxers menu, i've tried changing the skip the loop filter, tried changing the hardware decoding from default to video decode acceleration framework. It's driving me potty!! I'm getting close to giving up on VLC and looking for an alternative bit of software.

A VLC log would be helpful, at the time your video freezes.

anyone?

There is a possibility you're ending up with I/O bottlenecking on the disk.

Thoughts on potential config options to smooth this:

Open preferences, click "show all", click on "input/codecs", scroll down until you reach a set of sliders reading "file caching" "live capture caching" "disk caching", etc.

Slide all of those all the way to the right, save, then re-load whatever file was causing this.

The application of this increase to caching has provided smooth playback from a NAS device I use over wireless. There's a good chance it will help.
