Some unpleasant/weird behavior

Postby Amaury » 30 May 2018 15:29

Hi, some explanations are welcomed here...

VLC 3.0.2 Vetinari on Windows 7 x64

1) I play my music in random+repeat all and I notice something strange: when a track is finish it jump to an album (load metadata of the parent folder without playing music in this folder) then immediately jump to another track. No error message. I disabled preloading of metadata and search for online metadata.

2) Where are the possibility of size of the display? only two size while in previous versions (2.x.x) there was a lot of size possible (from the smallest to the biggest). Maybe it's normal but it's a loss.

3) When navigate with the arrows keys on my playlist and it come to the upper folder and continue to press the up key it up the volume. The same on the downer folder and down key, it down the volume. The shortcut options says ctrl+up/down and it's working. So why when I press on the up/down key only (without ctrl) does it up or down the volume?

Thanks

Waiting for a fix now.

Any news here on no. 3? I just discovered the same issue and it's annoying. When I navigate the playlist with the arrow keys, I really don't want to change the volume with no easy way to change it back immediately.

Also, there's another annoyance related: When scrolling the playlist with the mouse wheel, it scrolls the list only. But using the mouse wheel on other areas of the window, it changes the volume instead. This time, by increments of 10. The maximum is 125, so it cannot even be changed back to 100 with the same method that inadvertently messed it up. I have to use the menu command to bring it back to exactly 100.

Has somebody already logged these issues to the developers' issue tracker and can we track it there somehow? I only found this forum, and unfortunately there hasn't been any update in this thread. This isn't the most transparent method of managing such issues.
