Crash when exiting fullscreen on a Dual 2.0 GHz running 10.4.1. After exiting and reentering fullscreen a few times, the window with the movie is all white. Then, a couple seconds later, it crashes. Was playing an AVI at the time. Works great otherwise.

Exactly the same problem. Exiting full screen mode causes it to hang and crash. The last time, the screen was all white when it returned to windowed mode.

Running 10.4.1 on a Dual G4 with a Geforce4Ti.

If posting the error log would help, just let me know how.

Also seconding: subtitles are too transparent. They should be white with sharp, dark black outlines.

On macosx when turning on deinterlace filter from the prefrences gui it turns on discard instead of blend which is the usual deinterlace filter. Changing from the drop down menu works fine.

100% crash time on new Tiger system...

Also 0.8.1

[Guest]

Sorry, if I just missed it, but how can I save a playlist? (OSX)

[Guest2253]

Just a sidenote, in Win port it seems as though audio is being cut off at the beginning (VLC tries to play it prematurely, but cuts all audio before the GUI comes up out). It's kinda annoying, but not a big issue.

also experienced the crashes that occur when attempting to play .avi files around a minute in. using mac os x 10.2.8, on a powerbook g4.

disabling cpu altivec support in advanced and changing memory copy module to libc memcpy stops the crashes though. or is it just me?

great app otherwise. always like new features.

I am using 0.8.2.test1 on my Shuttle PC using Win XP SP 2. I use a Loewe TV with VGA input card as the monitor - thus the resolution is quite low ie 640X480. Under those conditions VLC works well with the exception of one screen as follows

Select File/ File Open Click Streaming and Settings. The resultant screen omits all the options for Output Methods and thus you cannot select the destination target other than by typing a long - and for me complex - string directly into the destination target MRL.

Happy to send a screen shot if that is not clear.

Otherwise - great prog.

On my opinion the 8.2 beta is more stable then 8.1, i found a lot of problems in encoding in the 8.1 but they are fixed, for example for pass to stero to mono, the 8.1 crashed, but this beta no ^_^

Report:
Great work, guys! Compilation was smooth. Hard to find anything that doesn't work immediately.

The left-pane of the Preferences window does not adjust dynamically. This makes it difficult, or even impossible, to get into some of the Preference sub-menus. Once I click on a sub-menu, some of the other choices drop below the window, or move too far left or right, and they can be impossible to get to.

The hotkeys are not working on audio-only files.

Thanks again for your work.

i hope be good, thanx!

very important:

make sure that you use the uptodate libavcodec cvs source when compiling, as when using old versions you will get a very weak avc/h.264 decoding support

...this version of VLC requires ffmpeg 0.4.9-pre1 or later. ffmpeg's last stable release 0.4.8 will not work.

thats what i meant...
0.4.9-pre1 is far to outdated

[david-from-edinburgh]

you did a superb job on the preferences settings. it's much easier to find things.

unfortunately, the keyboard shortcuts still don't work, at least not on OS X. i've assigned left, right, and 'f' to various functions, and i don't get any reaction when i press these keys.

this problem has been around for a long time (bug report filed back then). can't be hard to fix that... it's what keeps me (and maybe others) from switching to VLC - going back a few seconds or skipping commercials is just way too annoying when you have to press a Command-Arrow key combination.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - somebody fix this issue.

Second report:

I really like the work developers have been doing on x264, and have very recent versions of both x264 and ffmpeg. As a (faintly ridiculous) experiment, I tried to use vlc streaming to re-expand a file I compressed using mencoder and x264. (Of course, vlc plays the file perfectly). But when I do the following (I have to do it as root):

vlc "sample-x264.avi" --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=5625,scale=2.5,acodec=a52,ab=384,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,url="expanded.ps"}}' vlc:quit

I get this:
====

Let me know if I can provide any further information that might be helpful. Thanks for a great job.

Tiny problem with the Windows port. Under Preferences -> Stream Output -> General, the tooltip for 'enable audio stream output' says video rather than audio.

Also, would like to see a hotkey to take a snapshot with subtitles... Nice that it removes them but sometimes I want them included and it's very difficult to get a good shot that way (as print-screen doesn't seem to work O_o).

[Guest]

disabling cpu altivec support in advanced and changing memory copy module to libc memcpy stops the crashes though. or is it just me?

That also works for me (Mac OS X 10.4.1, dual-processor G5). Thanks for posting the suggestion.

[andlommy]

command line
vlc.exe playlist.m3u
crashes

playlist.m3u is:

#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT:sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=raw,url=:7142}}
#EXTVLCOPT:sout-all
http://teststream:1024

crash is:

AppName: vlc.exe AppVer: 0.8.2.0 ModName: libm3u_plugin.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000218d



edit:
besides..is it possible to include a feature so that that source stream meta info (all of metainfo) gets included to outstream?

thanks for the report.
