VLC 32 vs 64 - A final concept

[verbal_666]

32 and 64 bit are identical? Obviously i'm talking about the code and the stability. Since i remember 64 bit version has always been "defined" "EXPERIMENTAL", in my memory. It's still SO, or NOT?

Thanks.

[verbal_666]

So?

[verbal_666]

UP! Someone reading?

[phaolo]

Me, but I don't know either.

We now recommend using the 64bits version, we don't know of any win64 specific bugs so far.

Thanks. Going finally to 64 bit. Make it visible in main download page, so

Cool, but.. what about these critical bugs then?

Btw, I reported such issues in the tracker, but the dev said they were a duplicate.
I couldn't find them in the 3.0.1 roadmap though..

[chouquette]

To be honest, those issues don't ring a bell. Could you point me to the ticket you created?

Those problems seem quite important to me.. I couldn't watch most MKV files in VLC3 due to them.

About AC3: Are you using passthrough? Not being able to adjust the volume is expected for now (and not sure if it's possible since the volume is up to the decoder)

About AAC/flaC: could you provide your logs (extra -> tools -> verbosity: 2 -> start playback)

[InTheWings]

64 -> 32 issues are usually integer overflows

assembly code can also differ

What do you mean with "passthrough"?
Also.. AC3 worked normally with VLC 2.2.8 x64, so why such regression is now "expected" in v3?

Eh damn, I had to revert ASAP to the old version, due to these major problems.

[chouquette]

Passthrough means VLC will just forward the audio data to your sound device (usually an AV amplifier) which will decode it itself. In this case, VLC doesn't decode nor output any audio data, and can't adjust the volume (or at least this is my understanding)
It should be easy to figure out if that's the case for you or not, but we also need the logs for that.

We need some logs & samples from you to investigate & fix this.

Did you try the x64 version, then?
Can you test MKVs with AC3 and AAC?
If not, I guess I'll have to reinstall the clunky v3 to obtain those logs..

[chouquette]

Just tried it again, and it works fine for me.

You can also try a more recent version, just in case: https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/wi ... 0222-0506/

Ok, I've installed v3.0.1 and the problems are still there.
I've created a log.. how do I attach it here?
(btw, there's no "extra" menu, I had to search for the log entry in the options)

Ok, I'll add it here directly.
I removed the repeating parts by adding this: [..]
All the rest is untouched, despite some weird formats.

Actions performed:
1- opened VLC
2- played a MKV with AC3 (max vol!?)
3- lowered volume (without effect)
4- played a MKV with AAC (muted!?)
5- increased volume (without effect)
6- jumped to 5:00 (some slowness)
7- played a MKV with FLAC (muted!?)
8- quit VLC

EDIT: the Code block doesn't consider new lines?

Please tell me how to post the log properly and if you need more tests, so I'll revert to the working v2 ASAP.

[chouquette]

Pastebin.com or any equivalent service would probably work

[chouquette]

Also, it seems you're logging errors & main information only. Please run with -vv or --verbose=2 (or select the appropriate verbose level in tools -> messages)

What's the appropriate message tho.
I have: default, info, error, warning, debug
Do you need the last one?

Pastebin.com or any equivalent service would probably work

Mm.. what a drag
I'll check if I have something already, don't want to register to the Nth service.
(fix your forum pls)

Btw, I noticed that we're writing in the wrong thread.
Can you move these posts to the other relevant one here?

[chouquette]

pastebin is registration free!

Debug level please
