VLC 2.0.1 MAC OSX.5.8 STUTTER

[fgbdrum]

VLC used to work fine for me but now every time I pay any video, it stutters, stopping at some points for anywhere between 5-15 seconds and then picks up where it left off. This happens to the audio AND video.

I have upgraded, increased the Cache size to 5000 then to 9000, change the video output to OpenGL, increased thread count in FFMPEG to 4, etc. I am out of ideas.

Is there anything anyone could suggest to help my situation? Thanks in advance.

PLease share logs.

Here is my log file for the same problem. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Note that my player never stutters when I first play the file, but after pausing and restarting it a few times it always starts to stutter.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Remove the libsamplerate.dylib in your vlc plugins folder.

[tokyovink]

Thanks for the quick reply, but I have no such file on my computer.
Any other suggestions?

[kdean]

Right-click on VLC in Finder, select "Show Package Contents".

From there:

/Contents/MacOS/plugins/libsamplerate_plugin.dylib

[tokyovink]

Thanks. It did not help me, unfortunately. Started stuttering as soon as I paused and restarted (it never has a problem running the first time through, is that a clue perhaps?)

Hi,
Since this was posted a long time ago, I imagine you either solved it or moved to something else. But I had the same problem just now running it on my old iMac with 10.5.8 (the only big screen in the house). All I did was go into the video codecs options, and under FFmpeg: uncheck the 'Hurry up' box and change the 'skip the loop filter fpr h.264 decoding' to "all". I changed no other settings and deleted no files. I think though this might not work for everyone. I would guess what kind of file you're playing matters. I used VLC version 2.0.5 PPC 32bit, I run 10.5.8 on my iMac 1.8Ghz G5, and my files are .VOB (unix executable).
