VLC 2.0.5

I have few mkv files that are around 15 GBs. And when I skip form, let's say 00:00:01 to 00:23:05, VLC doesn't skip immediately, timer on both sides becomes blue (like buffering finished), and it stays like that for around 2 minutes and then video starts to play from skipped time. Checked with verbose level 2 in messages. No errors or some additional info. Checked with demuxing/muxing if container was not made properly. Same thing. This is for large jumps.

On smaller jumps audio stutters for a short period of time. About a second. Sounds like a sample was "triggered".

if someone wonders about strength of PC.

Try to turn on the "Dummy elements": Tools -> Preferences -> "Show settings: all" at the bottom left; In the tree on the left side: Input/Codecs -> Matroska; flag "Dummy elements".

This is a known bug (and fixed for 2.0.6+).

You can either take a nightly build (http://nightlies.videolan.org) or enabling dummy element: tools->preferences show settings all then Input/Codecs->demuxers->Matroska check the dummy element box, save and restart vlc.

Beware if you choose the latter, when 2.0.6 is out you should disable it since it will badly handle broken files.

Thanks, worked.
