Re: Feedback on 0.9.2

Postby Teazle » 18 Sep 2008 22:42

Hi there, I'd like to continue in this thread, as it appears to be a valid place to voice some feedback on 0.9.2 .

I've been using VLC since 0.7 something, and whilest 0.9.2 IS a major milestone, it does present some rather unusual and unexpected behaviour as opposed to 0.8.6x:

1. Selecting option only one VLC runnging in VLC appears to be strangely changed (and where have "enqueue if only one program" gone?): it now does not enqueue and then continue playing the same track its on, but rather queue the new one, and start playing it, regardless if its playing a file previously. This also ring true when adding a file to the playlist.

2. Enter (Return) cannot be bound. It always reports "Unset" and hence cannot be used (As opposed to 0.8.6x where alt+enter (which was my favorite...) for fullscreen toggle no longer can be bound).

3. Minimize VLC, then TAB back to it (on windows, obviously). Now, pressing space will reduce the playback speed, rather then what it is currently set to (in my case, toggle playback/pause) unless you after TABing click via mouse on the actual video output.

4. Even without the option to allow 400% audio, mousewheel scroll whilst in fullscreen allows 400% audio output.

5. For some reason, the fullscreen controls start half-off screen for me, probably because I have dual screen, (UNCONFIRMED atm)

6. Not sure why, but at random points, my playlist seems to be blanked.

7. Clicking the Video-playback-time-indicator (name?) and moving it updates movie position on screen and with sound as opposed to 8.6x where it would remain static until you released the indicator, any chance it could be restored, it's rather annoying.

8. Where my mouse-pointer is at the moment determines what MWheel up/down does, regardless of its current bind. (for ex. if its over playback, it changes palyback time, if its over volume, it changes volume(try changing fullscreen toggle to mousewheel up for ex.)

9. If i go into settings, enable "show settings" = all and press Save, and then reopen, i get the treeview of all settings. However, if i then just press the X to close and reopen, im back to "show settings" = simple.

10. Any chance we could get the actual time played of time total shown in fullscreen display? (perhaps leting the fullscreen display actual take the full width of the screen)

Win XP SP3, Swedish edition
VLC 0.9.2 cleaned install.

edit: added playlist remark on feedback 1.

3. is already fixed.

2. is already fixed too.

4. Won't be fixed, sorry.

5. Known bug, will be fixed when I have access to a dual-screen.

7. This is wanted and has been asked so much that I doubt I will revert this behaviour...

8. Yes, this is known. But complex to achieve.

9. Yes. And ? If you X, you cancel the dialog.

10. If you want.

Sorry to have posted so many things that obviously have already been known, but i did try to search, but was unsuccessful. anyway:

"9. Yes. And ? If you X, you cancel the dialog." Well, I saved settings last time, why is my settings reversed when i simply cancel the dialog, as opposed to changing something and saving it?

Mantech2000: your file association is wrong, it needs "" around the parameter. Use Windows Explorer to fix it.

blade: It works with Vista. But I cannot understand the other line you wrote.

Because when you close a dialog, how can we guess if you wanted to cancel or save ? We take the conservative option.

Hello,

I refer to the "save settings " problem. It's quite obvious that this is a bug. Everytime I tried to save my adjusted image settings and I restarted vlc then nothing is saved and the markbox in the adjust-dialog is clear.
I'm using FF 3.0.1,with vlc mozilla plugin and WINXP Professional + SP 2. :!:
I also tried deleting the vlc-default-settings-folder, on C:. Makes no difference. :cry:
Hope someone soon takes care of this problem :roll:
