Disable Font Cache - Mandatory Profile

[pyther]

Is it possbile to disable the font cache? We have a mandatory profile for over 200 users and since we have different machines with different fonts, vlc needs to rebuidl the font cache each time the user logs. A mandatory profile does not save any changes to the profile.

If it can be diabled can I rebuild the cache when the user logs on?

We stream live video and this 20-30 second delay can cause a user to miss important information.

Thanks,
pyther

yeah nobody is going to answer this question bro. not even the VLC Team because they suck. never had an issue until they started doing that crap. you can downgrade and disable autoupdate or something would be my suggestion

Solution:

Open VLC player.

On Menu Bar:

Show settings -- ALL

Open: Video
Click: Subtitles/OSD (This is now highlited, not opened)
Text rendering module - change this to "Dummy font renderer function"

Re-open - done.
