VLC media player 0.8.5-test4 beta release (was test3)

ChunkyLover54 · Postby **ChunkyLover54** » 25 Apr 2006 11:31

Just installed 0.8.5 b3 because 0.8.4. crashed s o m e t i me s due to
liblibmpeg_plugin.dll. Now it's the LIBVLC.DLL that ALWAYS stalls when
I try to get a video or audio stream. Playing files from disc still works fine,
playing anything from the net leads into an immediate crash with that DLL
involved. In other words, ALL webradio and -tv is forcing VLC to abort.

Running XP Pro/SP2+weekly, K6-2@500MHz with ATI Mach64 (pls stand up
or honk for a veteran) and 512 MB RAM, remainders from 0.8.4 previously
removed or not didn't make a difference. More data or logs on request.

Problem is not essential for me, I use VLC for local files mostly.
(Too dumb to figure out how to make several sites work with VLC instead
of WMP and stuff

)

BTW: tested 0.8.5. intensively on that liblibmpeg_plugin.dll issue and
after playing local files several hours it seems to be more stable at least.
Also, it seems to run even smoother on that old fart of a computer now.
That's why I like VLC.

RTSP protocol don't work properly........

The problem is in the client when you play
a VOD object....if you create a VOD object
and reproduce it(rtsp://....) with
vlc 0.8.2...perfect, but if you use
vlc 0.8.4 or highgest you can't move
the reproduction (forward, rewind)...

thanks

THANK YOU for putting the moving up or down of items in the playlist BACK like in the old versions! It was REALLY annoying when it disappeared!

Hello friends,

it seems the vlm with http interface doesn't work correctly !

Under version test2 I had no problem to use the activeX control, now the video doesn't come ...

exemple of code which was ok with vlc-0.8.5-test2 and not ok with
vlc-0.8.5-test3 :

(not everything appears here, I just sent before vlm command to make the reception of rtp flow)

Code: Select all

... 
function Play() 
{ 
      document.video.play(); 
} 

 //  On insère l'objet conteneur de notre vidéo ici ! 
document.write('<object type="application/x-vlc-plugin" classid="clsid:E23FE9C6-778E-49D4-B537-38FCDE4887D8" codebase="axvlc.cab" width="330" height="250" id="video" events="True"><param id="cheminExplorer" name="Src" value="'+partitionMax+':/vadese/Temp/'+cheminVideo+'" /><param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" /><param name="Loop" value="False" /><param name="AutoPlay" value="False" /></object>'); 

setTimeout('Play()',1000); 
...

Thank you if you can correct this and have a nice day,
alain costanza

Sorry to post here, but I've registeres in trac but I can't submit. The new .8.5-test3 version has a serious problem: the subtitles are only partialy shown, I mean, only some phrases are shown while others don't appear

Is that related to the use of accents or other non ASCII characters in the phrases that don't display ?

I had same problem but i changed encoding Preferences>input/codecs>other codecs>subtitles
TO developers: Can someone tell what causes some rare movie to run subtitles out of sync, most movies (95 %) works perfect now in test 3.

VLC has very interesting bug.
As llama wrote we have a problem with saving multicast TS video stream compressed with mp4v & mpga to hard disk. But suddenly I find out that if I open a video file (that had been written with TS preset) with saving a stream to hard disk with mp4v & mpga, it saves only audio track without video in 100% of cases.

Can you try making a Snapshot with command-alt-s and confirm the line is not in that image? Also, can you provide the messages output of the Messages window when this issue occurs?

Especially lines like

Please add in final release option to edit bitrate, samplerate and channels in streaming/transcode wizard because it is really needed.
Playng own transcoded ac3 wont work, only silence and somtimes makes sound...
Winamp and MPlayer plays files ok.
if you need more log but it is very long.

example this file works fine

I don't understand the volume in Fullscreen. Why does it fill only the half of the "box" on full blast?

The DJ · Postby **The DJ** » 28 Apr 2006 22:10

In Windows VLC, the volume normally goes from 0 - 100%, but in fullscreen mode you can use the hotkeys to take the volume to 400%.

If I uninstall and install 0.8.4a again everything works. Have you dropped support for win9x?

We haven't dropped it intentionaly but we don't really bother to test anymore. I'll try to see if this can be fixed.

Add force override audio device channels then users can manually choose channel output if VLC cannot detect (example 6ch aac sound). In my last post there is audio and video tests web link, these are good for all vlc developers.
