constant buffering?

[lostinfantry]

Hey. I'm running a high def video off a external drive through usb. I never had a problem before but I recently reset my computer and downloaded the new VLC 2.0.0 and right now the video keeps freezing to buffer (Well, I assume buffer. The playback bar turns orange and moves through like a buffer progress bar). Then the video starts back. The buffering seems to be happening at random times.Also, the pausing seems to take a few seconds. So I just wanted to know is there some way for me to change that or do I have to wait for VLC to come out with 2.0.1, like I've been reading in other topics?


Btw. When i got to Tools>Messaging, This is the messaging I got:

[VLC_help]

Yes, test out the new VLC 2.0.1 and report back if the problems continue.

[spasarxidia]

i have the same problem here, since v2.0.0, it pauses as if it's buffering


"main error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to 891 ms)
main error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called"

nothing else appeared in the messages, verbosity 0

[VLC_help]

You also playback files from external USB drive?

[spasarxidia]

yes, i also use an external USB HDD

[VLC_help]

Does the playback work better if you copy the files to local drive?

[spasarxidia]

it seems to happen only with mkv files

[GiacomoGo]

Not only with mkv files.

However, I DISabled the Tools --> Preferences --> Video option "Accelerated video output (Overlay)", and I no longer get playback bar turning orange and moving through like a buffer progress bar.

So for me this is a problem specifically with accelerated video output. I have a Dell Latitude i7-2720QM 2.2GHz with NVidia NVS 4200m graphics card.

This means there is an issue with your driver.

[jlin0821]

no my windows xp a1240n is not working with this setting

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

What VLC version are you using?

[jlin0821]

the latest but at that time but
now i'm using 2.1.3
