VLC always get stuck on linux.

Postby referi » 03 Feb 2021 22:20

I have the same problem as on this video https://youtu.be/J_W6CD1BYtE?t=411
Is there any way to solve this problem?

I run and close some video files from terminal so you can see the VLC stucked in the end after I closed the window. I was trying to fix it by selecting different video outputs but it does not help.

OMG started 12 Jun 2019 and still does not fixed. I I quit to celluloid.
Michael Hathaway
And that's one of the reasons why Linux Mint removed VLC from its distribution. As I said before, I have Celluloid, Smplayer and VLC installed. However, I usually only use Celluloid. The hardware acceleration in Celluloid reduces cpu usage, heat and fan noise. For audio I use Audacity or Celluloid. Another problem with VLC is the music quality is not good. If I put on my Sony MDR headphones on the Fiio 5, there is so many harmonics on VLC, it makes me not want to listen to music. Celluloid is King in the audio playback, which makes me wonder why people would use VLC to watch movies. But if you need a specific feature in VLC and don't really care about quality, then it's there.

Linux Mint has done a subpar job at integrating VLC since forever (that is, ever since they stopped just copying somebody else's packaging rules). This sounds like a convenient excuse to cover for their own failings, does it not?

That's because VLC is resampling audio and using time-stretching by default because of the playback speed feature.
You can completly disable both features via the menu Tools -> Preferences (Show settings = ALL) -> Audio
