Why can't VLC play MP3?

Postby tryptych » 21 Apr 2011 04:42

Just curious... any ideas why MPC-HT, KMplayer and WMP can play this file fine but VLC can't? VLC seems to have problems with the audio (MP3). When you first start playing the file it is completely silent, after a 5-10 secs sound starts coming through in 1-2 second bursts, a bit scrambled.

Exactly what is it that VLC doesn't like about this file? Is there a setting I can change to get it to play properly?

Code: Select all

Say what? Share which messages?

Media Info for the file is included in the original post - why is VLC having trouble with MP3 when 3 other players are not?

Open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the resulting log here.

Where can be get the file your trying my friend? (I would like to try it)
You can get it via torrent: http://btjunkie.org/search?q=HC.The.Gre ... 0&o=52&t=0

All 12 files have the same problem in VLC, yet play flawlessly in KMplayer, MPC & WMP.

Please, cut a short sample of this file, 20-30 MB will be enough, and upload it to some file sharing site, I suggest Multiupload.com because it will automatically upload the file to several other hosts for you, and then post the link to the file here.

Use DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

I just started having EXACTLY the same problem (i.e. a certain .avi file with MPEG layer-3 audio that plays audio only in tiny bursts or not at all while on VLC but works fine in WMP) and I was wondering if you had been able to solve the issue?

As I recall, this isn't the first time I have run into this situation with VLC audio not playing right, but I don't remember exactly the circumstances or what I did to fix it.

Thanks.

How are we supposed to test it if he doesnt supply anything to work with??


Ah well........
