Has Jow Forums tried VLC 3.0.2 yet?

They completely rewrote the seeking engine for 3.0, so the answer is almost certainly yes.

True
I'd rather my media player skip frames than play some datamoshing artifact bullshit

>click screen doesn't pause
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Though it would be nice to have an option, I suppose.
>volume goes to 125%, and it's almost impossible to set it back to 100%
The volume goes way beyond that, and it's very easy to put it back. Just use your scroll wheel, as the other user suggested.

>3.0 and 3.0.2
And somehow I'm on 2.2.6 with no updates available.

>Realizes VLC doesn't cater to spergs and that's the reason you don't like it.
>I-I'm not a sperg, everybody else is just middle aged parents that can't use a computer even tho the middle age people meme stopped being true like a decade ago in most cases.
>I swear guys, most people are media hoarders that have autistic levels of attention to details about the files. Everybody else is weird, I represent most users.

Weak.

Hey, man, thanks for the tip. Upgrading...

The update manager has always been buggy. You should update manually ASAP, as it's a massive upgrade.

(I'm not sure if they fixed the updates in 3.0, ironically enough. But I haven't tried them yet.)

>I'd rather my media player skip frames than play some datamoshing artifact bullshit
The latter is objectively the correct approach over the former. Personal preference is irrelevant here.

>I swear guys, most people are media hoarders that have autistic levels of attention to details about the files.
When they find they need to convert their mangled files to a new format to put on their phone to share with their family and get 31 minutes of _just black_ I'll whisper gently in their ears "I warned you and you didn't listen."

Meanwhile my great great grandkids can laugh at ancient dank memes because their autistic grandfather took care of his media collection.

Your grandkids will never visit you.

Why would they when they have my collection of dank memes? What more could I give them?

"Your memes are not even that ptuak grandpa. Nobody says dank anymore. Go back to the hospice, we are busy."

I read that it's fixed in a AMA.

I don't think memes are trans-generational.

Can you believe it, in his time Pluto was a planet, and they had only two genders. They even had a negro for president.

>>volume goes to 125%, and it's almost impossible to set it back to 100% REEEEEEEEEe
Never knew VLC was a retard filter

I guess I should update it then, but it's never given me any problems so I don't really want to. I just download .mp4s and it plays them

still not mpc hc

Why are you browsing a technology board if your technologically retarded

I use it in my phone and it's pretty good, but I wish it could play .flv files.

Is this on fdroid? Do they offer an apk file?

I tried 3.0 and still got artifacts when seeking with hardware decoding. This is a bug since the beginning of VLC and I doubt they fixed it from 3.0 to 3.0.2

The number of bugs fixed for .2 specifically is ridiculous. Give it a shot, user.

Maybe tell him if the bug he's experiencing is part of the shit they fixed, instead of writing an ironic shilling reply.

You want me to save him 2 minutes by spending 20 of my own, probably unsuccessfully anyways?

>Linux Mint
thats your problem

Don't waste your time. I also won't waste mine with VLC when mpv is working great.

>mpv is working great
That pile of overrated garbage doesn't work at all, great or otherwise. Jow Forums has fallen for that meme way too hard.

>click screen pauses
>try double-clicking screen to full-screen while playing
>causes 0.1s jitter because it pauses/unpauses

No idea what you're talking about, works on my machine.

Get some fucking standards, then.

does 3.0 support RTMP streaming, say if I wanted to host something on a site like cytube or whatever?

why is the vlsub or the subtitle search thing so fucking slow?

Attached: 1418690165596.jpg (529x566, 36K)

I still have issues with it. The weird artifacts don't happen anymore but sometimes it takes upwards of 20 seconds to load a video. Definitely sticking with mpv until something better comes around.

>A VLCfag of all people talking about standards

see

Been using it on my phone for music since the other things I tried couldn't play flac but what about x265?

mpv is good enough

Can I use the arrow keys to pass x minutes/seconds of video now?

Thanks for the headup user, upgraded.

Used 3.00 and later versions fucked with the hw

I agree with you user

VLC hasn't had significant bugs in over a decade.

MY MAN
same here
the golden days
nutted to so many bang bros and naughty america vids back then

Congrats. Sadly VLC is bad with 4k files. MPV on the other hand has a lighter frontend with many vlc playback features and just works.

Download 4k footage and test it yourself. See how it handles it.

this is true
CyberPower 14 playsback 4K files smoother than VLC, especially with the seek function

This.
Either play it right or don't play it at all.
I rather know it's a fucked movie file before I open it only to have it artifact to death at the high points of the movie.

If VLCGay stops flickering even though I downloaded 60 billion codecs I will be happy.

>MPV on the other hand has a lighter frontend with many vlc playback features and just works.
About the only thing I miss from VLC is the playlist on a separate window...

>still using VLC instead of MPV
Why would you do this?

It still has fucked up colors.

They didn't.

neo-Jow Forums

Checking the validity of a media file is not the job of the media player, especially if you want it done ahead of time (i.e. you don't want to encounter an error when you're an hour into the movie). Relying on your video player's behaviour to tell if a file is corrupted is brainlet tier, use ffmpeg instead, possibly inside a script that runs on torrent completion.

someone tell me why i should switch from mpc-hc to mpv?

mpc-hc isn't buggy so lack of updates isn't a problem

>brainlet tier
I'm just as autistic as anyone else here, but you gotta realise developers don't build software with Jow Forums in mind -- it's called "user-friendly", not brainlet tier, since most users don't know how to do that.

>it's called "user-friendly", not brainlet tier, since most users don't know how to do that.
I was replying to Jow Forums posters, so I don't see how that's relevant. How the video player handles corrupt files should be entirely irrelevant to an advanced user looking to verify file correctness, because a media player simply isn't the right tool for the job. It would have to analyze the entire file before playing it, possibly taking minutes, which just isn't desirable behaviour for a media player.

>They fixed EVERYTHING.
Why I should player where it takes multiple years to get simple issues fixed.

You always could. Go in the settings and change it.

Because it wasn't fixed by NSA agents.

i've been reasonably content with VLC, but after reading this thread, maybe I'll see what the MPV thing is about.

Fucked how?

Try .2 anyways, whatever it was is probably fixed.

>using an ancient version of VLC to prove a point
>cropping the screenshot to try to hide that fact

How do you know?

too late dear vlc, already switched to smplayer
only with vlc can your display go into sleep mode while watching a video why is that no one knows 4 shore ok

>only with vlc can your display go into sleep mode while watching a video why is that no one knows 4 shore ok
I use VLC every day to avoid sleep mode on my computers, somethings wrong with your configuration

>somethings wrong with your configuration
sure thing when it only happens with vlc
also the "always on top" does not work even when checked
mpc-hc just werks
smplayer just werks
vlc pulls my chain and slaps me in the gonads
vlc must go ok

I myself pretty much just enable advanced tools and separate the playlist, thats it

It just works

>don't use the software how YOU like
>use the software how IT wants you to

>Checking the validity of a media file is not the job of the media player
Validating the file hash compared to what you downloaded doesn't help if the file itself is corrupted which you'd only be able to discern by playing the video. So it's literally the job of the media player to validate if the file is correct. Instead of throwing an error if it isn't - VLC eats garbage and tries to spit out what it thinks is the best result.

this
mpv also doesn't have a bloated UI

VLC's UI is one of the most spartan interfaces you can find in any app. It's often criticized for it, even.

As usual, Jow Forums makes up shit to justify its mpv hype.

i just like mpv pal
i'm sorry you're buttblasted over it

I had to update from 2.whatever to 3.0 manually (after I saw the update on the VLC Facebook page), and I had to update from 3.0 to 3.0.2 manually (after I saw this thread).

Maybe it's fixed in 3.0.2, then. (One can dream...)

kek you guys use local players? embrace the cloud and streaming already weirdos

VLC 1.1.11 Is the best version, I've been using it for 6 years. There is literally no reason to update

Prove me wrong

It also struggles to play HEVC playback files.

HEVC works with no problems using MPV, and MPCHC with no trouble any preconfiguration.

>Validating the file hash
Nigga I literally said "use ffmpeg to validate the video" in the post you're replying to. Do you know what ffmpeg is? Hint: it's not a hashing program.

its a gang alright. cant be satisfied with your shilling circlejerk general you gotta come here and shit up the street corner.

Thats for letting me know VLC 3.x is finally out of perpetual beta.

I've been waiting for a decent media player to get acceptable high-DPI support for ages. Cheers

I'm using this only for music.
for video it's total shit. after all this years and hundreds of upgrades it still can't display SSA/ASS properly

Are you sure you didn't check "do not check for updates" in the options? I think it ask it when you install it (I tent to uncheck it along with "allow to send information online when looking for subtitles", "check VLC is the default video software every fucking time you start it" and these kind of stuff.)

I have no issue playing HEVC even 60 gig encodes
