Can't read comments while VLC plays

Postby brodders » 24 Oct 2013 00:06

Hi guys,

I'm a fan of prog and listen to large files e.g. 3hr files from ProgScape Radio. To have an idea of what is being played, I copy the playlist etc from Progscape Radio's facebook page and enter this into the Media comments metadata field (using Properties under Windows 7, but I don't think that's the issue).

Alas, while VLC is playing a PSR file, I can't read the comments. Why? The comments are deeper then the window (Tools > Media Information > General tab > Comments window) - and the vertical scroll widget on the window RHS, when pulled down to display deeper text, insists on resetting to top of window in under a second. To read the comments deeper down, I have to stop VLC :( whereupon this effect disappears. Clearly, the display is being reset rapidly as VLC plays.

This a bug?
