The VideoLAN Forums

Several problems persist in the Nightly of 2023-05-01:

1. On my 2018 (slow) Samsung with 2900 tracks, the media-detection beacon is still briefly visible on the screen every 5 seconds.
2. Using the scroll bar so that the top windowshade appears or disappears still results in changes to the dimensions the scroll bar assumes, so that scrolling isn't precise if you overshoot the desired track and have to scroll in the opposite direction.
3. The change so that the time-elapsed/time-remaining toggle in the Audio section matches the toggle in the Video section, was implemented correctly when the current track is dragged to the top to reveal the detailed video controls and progress bar. However, if the current track is at the bottom of the screen, you always see time elapsed and cannot elect to see time remaining.

1. I thought I created an issue in our tracker for that but was unable to find it back. Do you remember in what post we discussed that?
2. Could you please share a screencast? i am not sure i understand your issue.
3. It's now tracked here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/2935

① I reported the bug last August. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=160579

We discussed the beacon last in December. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=162461

I don't see anywhere you said you opened an issue.

② It is backlash or hysteresis.
•In the Audio section, view a lot of tracks with TRACKS.
•Swipe up so the top pane goes away.
•Use the scroll bar to go down to the Ms.
•If you use the scroll bar to scroll up until the top pane reappears, you are transported a long way back in the list! Presumably, the same finger position is now a different percentage down of the run of the scroll bar.
•Down with controls that have a mind of their own!

1. I indeed did not. It's now done here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/2936 and will be fixed by https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... uests/1731 if accepted
2. With your reproduction step, I can now reproduce it. Tracked here: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... ssues/2937

Thank you!

The scrolling is driving me crazy! The issue has been open for over a year and there is still not even a workaround. Why? I don't want VLC to be my incentive to study programming so I can fix this, I just want to use it.
