Beta release: VLC 0.8.0-test1

[Somebody]

I'm wondering, now that people have been upgrading the ACC audio input, are yall gonna also enhance it? Cause i got some files with those kind of audio and they don't work... If you want a sample file just repley to me or something.

Hey guys, I have a problem with static in my audio in any version of VLC higher than 0.5.3. In other words, the static started with 0.6.0.

Looking at the change log for changes between 0.5.3 and 0.6.0:

Mac OS X port:
* When you add several items to the playlist, they are sorted alphabetically.
* New about panel and revamped preferences panel.
* Fixed the deinterlace menu.
* Float on top, Fit to Screen and a Transparency option for video out.
* New output dialog for transcode and display while stream capabilities.
* New icons by Davor Orel.
* New audio resampler. Should make VLC much faster.
* Fixed disappearing and crackling sound (PTS is out of range bug)
* We no longer automatically save the preferences when you quit the application
* Arrow keys are now use to browse the menus in a DVD

From the looks of it, the audio resampler seems to be causing the static and I think reducing the overall quality of the audio.

Would it be possible to implement the 0.5.3 resampler in 0.8.0? VLC in windows plays the same files fine, and so do Quicktime and mPlayer for OS X. It's only VLC for OS X that has this static problem.

Anyway, thanks. Hope to hear from a person on the development team soon.

this "issue" seems present in both 0.7.2 and 0.8.0;
with the latest M-audio drivers (driver v1.2.9, build 0000019A), a dvd with 5.1 channel audio plays L & R properly, but it outputs center on rear left, and i cant tell what on rear right, but it's NOT what you'd hear from the back right in a theater. is this a VLC "feature" or an M-audio "bug"?

this looks related:

couple of thoughts..

OS X 10.3.5 G3 800mhz ibook..

- lpcm support is still broken
- new version seems to have more trouble reading discs than 0.7.2
- performance is down using the OS X video output module
- opengl performance is about equal to 0.7.2 os x output

[The DJ]

- lpcm: i know, i'll try to find a fix for that, i can imagine it's rather annoying.

- discs: do you have clearer discriptions about this? debug messages from the messages window?

- osxvid: oops. G3 that exists as wel of course. Totally forgot about that. i guess we will need to do some ugly trick to cover this....

- opengl: as expected.

Can anyone give me the command line for x264 codec encode under windows because i try the --sout-x264-qp ... but it doesn't work( only mux the source file in mp4 container). I have a vlc build from today source.

thanks to the team for this great player

[The DJ]

the x264 encoder is not provided in the default binaries yet (i think).

[Guest]

the x264 encoder is not provided in the default binaries yet (i think).

Are you sure ?
I have the libx264_plugin.dll and the x264 parameters menu under modules/encoder

[The DJ]

oh so it is.

--sout-x264-qp ???
i don't know what that option is for, but i'm guessing you are using it to transcode, what it doesn't do.

Read http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-howto/en/ch09.html

Let me know what I can do to help to debug this problem. Though... I can't send core dumps I'm on a slow Ugandan internet connection.

[ideo]

for information when I launch vlc with Konsole it says that to me:

Code: Select all

[ideo@localhost ideo]$ vlc VLC media player 0.8.0-test1 Janus [00000223] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any" [00000222] skins2 interface error: No suitable dialogs provider found [00000222] skins2 interface: skin: VLC OSX Interface author: BigBen [00000224] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched "any"

[ideo]

I finally made some tests, i can use VLC 0.8.0-test1, but when i choose "preferences" i can't view this one.... and i can't view .mkv files too...

have some ideas?

thanks a lot for your answers

[The DJ]

you don't have vlc's wxwindows module installed which is necesarry to provide the dialogs.

[ideo]

but in my folder /usr/lib/vlc/gui i have libwxwindows_plugin.so, libncurses_plugin.so and libskins_plugin.so

what i must install?

[The DJ]

mm, interesting.
Try running vlc -vvv
and post that here would you?

[00000001] main vlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwindows_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/libwx_gtk2-2.5.so.0: undefined symbol: _gtk_accel_group_detach)

How did you install this again exactly?
cause the symbols in the wxGTK library on your machine do not match those of the wxGTK lib with which this libwxwindows_plugin.so was created.

[ideo]

i have installed the RPM package on my machine, but my wxGTK library are the latest library

Code: Select all

[ideo@localhost ideo]$ rpm -qa | grep wxGTK wxGTK-2.4.2-1mdk libwxGTK2ud1-2.5-0.20031010.3mdk wxGTK2.5-2.5.1-5mdk [ideo@localhost ideo]$

[The DJ]

That's your problem

[ideo]

but i don't understand, i have do this

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ideo]# urpme wxGTK2.5-2.5.1-5mdk Pour satisfaire les dépendances, les paquetages suivants vont être désinstallés (9 Mo): libwxgtk2.5_1-2.5.1-5mdk.i586 (car wxGTK2.5 >= 2.5.1 est non satisfait) wxGTK2.5-2.5.1-5mdk.i586 Est-ce correct ? (o/N) o désinstallation de libwxgtk2.5_1-2.5.1-5mdk.i586 wxGTK2.5-2.5.1-5mdk.i586

and i have just :

Code: Select all

[root@localhost Fourbi]# rpm -qa | grep wxGTK wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1 libwxGTK2ud1-2.5-0.20031010.3mdk wxGTK-2.4.2-1mdk

what i must to do now?
