Thanks Rémi. The VLC player was fixed for a while. However for the last
couple of weeks it has been badly broken. The player starts and then
shuts down immediately upon trying to play a video. If I click on a
video in Dolphin, vlc starts then shuts down. If I open vlc, I can then
open a video or disc but vlc still shuts down when it starts to play it.
It doesn't seem to matter which codec the video uses. I'm not having the
problem with mplayer or kaffeine, just with vlc.
The problem doesn't happen with OpenGL output however. It's just with
default, x11 and xVideo Extension but not with OpenGL (I haven't tried
the others ).
OpenGL output still gives the monochrome output in the left 20 - 25% of
the window, with garbage in the rest - the picture is squeezed into the
left part of the window. This could be an issue with ATI's OpenGL
implementation but it's been a consistent problem for a long time. This
makes me wonder if VLC shouldn't be adjusted to work with it.

thanks
Le lundi 6 avril 2009 22:31:40, vous avez écrit :
Package: vlc
Version: 0.9.8a-3
Severity: important
The new version of VLC works on Squeeze but I'e stopped using it because
it is basically useless.
The separate control and video windows can't be turned off,
This is fixed nowadays.
the video window doesn't remember where it was the last time it was opened,
Fixed too.
the playback speed controls are missing,
+ and - keys.
the video seems to use more resources / is choppier than in the previous
version,
Uh? The rendering pipeline has not changed much from 0.8.6 to 0.9.8, contrary
to the UI.
the new control bar has ugly icons, etc..
This is highly subjective, and I don't think the Debian BTS is the right venue
for such points.
However the problem I'm complaining about is
that the tools | preferences don't seem to do anything.
They behave just like they did in 0.8.6. For most settings to apply, you need
to stop the current playback and restart. This is not new.
