The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I am trying to optimize the time it takes VLC to load and start playing the next media file in the playlist. At the moment there is a discernable freeze frame effect at the end of video tracks before the next track starts playing. This is only a fraction of a second, but on short videos (30 seconds or so) it can be quite distracting.

I have noticed this on both .wmv and .ogg files.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

Hy,

I'm also trying to reduce the switching time between the items of the playlist!!
Let me know if you gain some results or ideas on how to do it,
I'll do the same

Thanks

You can't do anything about it unless you start hacking the VLC source code See https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=45687 for a related forum topic.
