VLC 2.2.1 very, very slow to start playing .ts files?
Posted: 13 May 2015 08:34
Yes, I know all about https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=124713 but, that was for .mkv files.
This is happening now for some .ts files, and it always happens on this file.
However, almost all other .ts files I have, there is no issue, but, it has popped up a few times before, after updating to 2.2.1.
I just had some time to kill, and thought I would try to debug what is going on.
What happens is, you double click file to start playing it, and after 2-3 mins(!), it finally wakes up and starts playing it.
Looking at resource monitor, it is reading the whole file it seems, before it starts playing it.
The same file starts & plays just fine with MPC-HC, and other players.
and doing a debug shows:
Any ideas?

From MPC-HC, since VLC don't allow you to copy codec info. :(
