VLC 2.2.0 on linux x86-64 hangs after playing a video and audio synchronously (e.g. the video and audio is in different files). The video will be either black or stuck after a few seconds (circa 5 secs), but the audio still plays. Closing VLC will take a while. Pressing the stop button doesn't work. This was tested with default packages from fedora 21 and ubuntu 14.10. I don't have PC with windows, so I can't confirm whether this also affects the windows version of VLC 2.2.0.
To reproduce (on default GUI):
- Media -> Open Multiple Files
- Add the video file
- Check "show more options" and "play another media synchronously"
- Add the audio file to "Extra media"
- Click "Play"
This doesn't affect VLC 2.1.5. This will happen regardless of the format or resolution of the video or audio (e.g. this will happen both with WEBM 2160p/M4A, h264 2160p/M4A and h264 360p/M4A). The videos used in this example are from downloaded YouTube videos without any modifications.
This defect doesn't happen when VLC is instructed to play the muxed (combined) single video file created from those separate video and audio files. The combining can be done using "avconf" or "ffmpeg" with parameter "-c copy".
Any resolution? Thank you for the help.
