VLC 3.0.14 - position control (fast forward) with mouse scroll not smooth anymore

Postby gevrey » 19 May 2021 22:44

Until version prior 3.0.14, moving in a video fast forward with the mouse scroll was always very smooth, very fluid, with most of the videos.
I am playing videos on a high end Windows 10 x64 workstation from a local SSD, and this as always been very fast and without any stops.

Now with 3.0.14 when I stop scrolling to resume normal play speed, the video briefly stops, like 50ms, and start again. Before there was no gap and it was resuming normal play from fast forward immediately.

Someone is facing the same behavior?
What could that be the symptom of?

Thanks.

Can you try with Direct3D9 video output ?

Thanks for the link.

Direct3D 11 (mine) didn't help. It was on this by default.

Downgrading to 3.0.12 fixed it.
