Multiple video tracks issue
Posted: 14 Nov 2010 14:22
hi,
I just did a few tests with a media file containing multiples tracks (video, audio, subtitles). Audio and subtitles works great, VLC/libvlc is able to switch tracks or disable them. But the video does not.
VLC displays all video tracks at the same time, and it seems vlc doesn't switch between video tracks, it adds them.
Let's say we have two video tracks, T1 and T2.
When the media starts, vlc opens two vout with both T1 and T2.
If i disable the video tracks, both vout are closed.
If i switch to T1, one vout is opened with T1. but then if i select T2, vlc opens another vout with T2, leaving T1 opened.
As there is a menu/function to select video tracks, i think it's a bug.
I found an old ticket regarding this issue : http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2407
