My issue is a small delay when making audio changes such as volume, mute, or audio track. The change takes almost a second to
occur. This delay is NOT happening in the vlc rc5 executable. It also doesn't happen with libvlc 2.2.x.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this. It's most annoying when changing the volume 5% at-a-time. With the delay, it
can take a looong time to drop volume 30%. As I said, vlc doesn't have this issue and changes volume 5% at-a-time with no delay.

Thanks.

So, it works in VLC but not in libVLC? (in 3.0-rc5)

"So, it works in VLC but not in libVLC? (in 3.0-rc5)"

Correct. To be clear, it still works. It just has a 'delay' that doesn't happen in vlc 3.0-rc5 or in libvlc 2.2.x.

I was just wondering if anyone else had gotten it. My code is the same as with 2.2.x.

Thanks

Do you force a special audio output?

I don't know how to do that.

I don't think I'm providing enough information for anyone to help me. I'll just create a simple project. If the problem happens there, I will post the code.

I found it perplexing because my code didn't change. I just linked libvlc 3.0 instead of 2.2.8.

When I have the code sample, I'll post it here.

OK.

I made a simple project and DID NOT get the weird delay. Sorry to have wasted your time.

My best guess is a problem with event handling, since I did none in the simple project. Perhaps there's some updates in the event firing in version 3.0 and I have to update my handlers.

Thanks (again) for your time.

OK.

Doubt this will be useful to anyone, but....

The delay in 3.0 happens when I have "caching" command-line settings. I just tested with/without "--file-caching=3000" and that makes the delay occur when changing audio values. Note this doesn't happen in 2.2.x. In fact, I had forgotten that value was left from a test last year.

Thanks for your time, Mr. Kempf.
