The last update of VLC doesn’t work
Closed this issue · 7 comments
Hi,
When I try to launch a tv channel on VLC from the « play » button, VLC starts but nothing happens.
It started since the last update of VLC : 3.2.0
On the other hand, the feed works if you copy the link on VLC.
This means they might have changed the url format or layout - I'll need to have a look at it
In the meantime you can use the internal player which is VLC anyway - out of curiosity, any special reason why you're using the external VLC?
Because performances are bad with the internal VLC on iPad 4 (MD510FD/A)
But not with the VLC app? Which settings do you use in VLC to make it work correctly? Maybe I can add the missing option to make it work with the internal VLC.
I do have an iPad 3 that I can test with, what channel properties do you see the performance issues? SD with deinterlacing?
VLC app works great with default settings unlike the internal app which display all channels with many freeze but sound is okay.
I use the default profile from tvheadend (pass). I watch channels in hd when it’s available.
Mmmm, that doesn't make sense - the code for VLC and tvhclient in regard of playback is the same - if should work exactly the same on both. Even the default settings are the same.
There's really no difference - so either you have a very good reproducible error that I would very much like to fix, or you're thinking that it's slower when it probably isn't. I would need to test the same conditions and reproduce the problem.
I won't be able to fix the VLC issue for at least two weeks because I'm not near my dev computer, sorry! Once I'm back I'll try pushing a beta release ASAP .
VLC 3.2.1 has been released and one of the changelogs is +· Fix opening media from other applications using x-callback-url
This probably means VLC works correctly again and it was their issue.
I would still like to fix your performance issue
