How am I supposed to integrate it within a desktop application? Within an Android application? I must be missing something obvious :)

They are not removed, just hidden by default. The view menu and the customize menus are your friends.

No, but quadratic is faster and the result (here) is close enough to be good.

And we supply md5, sha1, sha256 (overkill, yeah!) + signature of all packages.

VLC 2.0 has a more native interface. Instead of commenting, you could, at least, click the link...

Nope, only a fork does.

It used to be a linear scale, which is a nonsense. Now it use a quadratic scale (faster to compute than a log and close enough)

Yes, I saw that on a few distributions. I do not know why this is the case. Maybe we should add a bigger warning during configure.

Did you try the OpenGL output?

This is a bug then. Can you file a bugreport or mail me?

VLC HLS support is not using libav, for many reasons. Can you file a bugreport for a sample?

Source is done and packagers for Linux are doing builds now.

Android nightly build works fine. We need to finish the UI.

OOps. Just fixed it.

And you are exactly right. One guy, from Korea gave use very high quality patches for OS/2 that did not break other platforms and were easy to maintain. On what ground could we refuse them?

Not only there is an option to deactivate this, but VLC 2.0 gives you better resampling quality and does not cut audio files in the beginning and the end.

> Because it's the platform default. That's how it should be. Yep, this is the exact reason. None of the developer like it much, but using the default option on a platform improve the integration.

Geeks and video geeks love to tweak at the best their media players. VLC is not the best tool for that, compared to selecting your own renderer, own codec pack+configuration and own subtitles codecs. This is normal. However, since VLC is ge

This is unfortunate, but this needs a correct media library to do so. It will come in the next version.

Yes/No. We also need to move many VLC modules to LGPL, since VLC/iOS needs static linking on this platform. But, I am working on it. It takes a lot of time, and I am already doing much on my free time.

by jbk 15y ago
Yes. Some audio outputs have changed to the new mode, some have not. It will come in some future minor releases.

Display subtitles better? You did not test 2.0.0. This is exactly what was fixed in this version. You might need to use the OpenGL output on Linux, though.

You can drag and drop them. Double-clicking could be a cool idea, add it to our trac, and we'll code it.
