I don´t think that it would be that easy at all on VLC side, without breaking either hwaccel or threaded decoding. I don´t want to spend my free time on this given that libav´s libavcodec still works just fine.

This is a VLC vulnerability and I can´t share it with my own self. Besides the underlying issue has already been discussed with upstream libav. There is plenty of information available already to reproduce the problem.

They are unchanged. VLC releases always slips by several months. I´d be very surprised if VLC 3.0 actually comes out this semester. But at this point, this is moot for the purpose of this bug report.

Could this package be backported to current packages? VLC 3.0 is nowhere near release at this point in time. This is up to the Debian Multimedia team, not me, but I would not advise uploading it to unstable.

On Fri, 17 Jul 2015 14:33:46 -0400 John Scott <lorenzo...@outlook.com> wrote: > I think that VLC should suggest browser-plugin-vlc because it is a part of > VLC. Chromium is dropping support for NPAPI and Firefox is to follow suit. Thus I don´t think there is much point in recommending or suggesting the browser plugin. At least not anymore. Given that we have no alternatives to offer, I cannot advise people to deploy the NPAPI plugin when I know full well that it will stop working sooner rather than later. I don´t think Debian and/or VideoLAN can influence the decision to deprecate NPAPI. > Also, most online VLC installation tutorials tell their readers to > install both VLC and the browser plugin.

That´s only because of the package split in Debian. In particular, some of the LibVLC plugins that the browser plugin needs are in the "vlc" package. There are no actual dependencies between the VLC browser plugin and the stand- alone VLC program. IMHO, this bug should be closed as wontfix. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Le jeudi 27 novembre 2014, 11:39:52 maximilian attems a écrit :
xf86-video-intel upstream says:
it's a bug in vlc.
they are supplying an image larger than the surface they wish to scale
and then complain when the extra pixels are sampled during scaling.
the issue is that they are not initialising those extra pixels
correctly - it should be padded. -ickle
That is a rather innovative way to word it.
VLC supplies an image larger than the source rectangle that it wishes to
scale. The Intel seems to blend pixels from outside the source rectangle.
How is that a VLC bug?!
Hence keep bugging vlc guys, will close xorg driver bug report.
It is not the first time that someone blames VLC for not working around quirks
in the Intel graphic drivers.
You can try this work around, which fills invisible pixels that the Intel
drivers incorrectly blends with the visible pixels.
If Intel cannot provide working XVideo, they should not provide an XVideo
adapter in X11 (or alternatively, not provide the XVideo extension at all).
VLC will happily fallback to OpenGL then.

Subject: [PATCH] XCB/XVideo: fill invisible padding in pictures
Some brain-damaged XVideo drivers blend pixels outside the source
rectangle and the pixels within the source rectangle around the bottom
and/or right edge. That makes no sense since the source rectangle is
in whole pixels.
This partly works around the driver bug by filling the padding lines
and columns.

But I did spend several hours troubleshooting it on an affected system and so far it does seem like a driver bug: the driver is blending the last line of visible pixels with the first line of pixels outside the visible area. All zeroes corresponds to dark green in YUV colours space. Now, I´m not flawless, but with no further arguments, I consider this a driver bug. Considering how bad of a reputation XVideo has accumulated with GPU driver developers, this is not even surprising. VLC 3.0 is intended to switch to default to OpenGL (GLX) rather than XVideo. Debian might consider doing the same in their VLC package. This should work around the bug and would also improve scaling of subpictures. But of course, it would expose other potential GPU driver bugs. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

It can't, unless something mucks with the modification time or some data corruption happens. I think installation aborting if the cache generation actually doesn't work because of ABI breakage or whatever in an underlying library seems like a very appropriate course of action given that all libvlc applications would potentially end up broken at that point. It's not the libvlc applications that are broken, so willingly letting them crash rather than making sure we end up with a working set of plugins + cache seems ill-advised at best. Alas, this can be argued back and forth, it sounds like a less than optimal situation to begin with. For a dedicated installer, I would agree that failing to install straight up is better than failing to run later. But we are talking about the Debian packaging system here. Failing to install means screwing up the whole oeprating system. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Bug#755154: vlc cache gen should happen at runtime, not buildtime
Hello, Le vendredi 18 juillet 2014, 12:52:32 Harald Sitter a écrit : since vlc plugins are spread across multiple packages the plugin cache generated at buildtime is almost always wrong As long as Debian does not ship any unofficial native VLC plugin, the build-time cache will not lack any entry. which makes vlc load all plugins at runtime No. VLC only loads plugins that are absent or mismatched in the cache. As long as the cache contains a superset of what is actually installed, VLC will not attempt to load anything unnecessary. which in turn can result in runtime symbol clashes That is one good reason to generate the cache at build time, where any problem can be detected early on. Crashing during dpkg postinst script is much worse. when it loads the qt4 gui in a qt5 libvlc application for example. That will happen only if Qt4 is not in the plugins cache. If you install the plugins cache from a build with Qt4, it should be in. attached you should fine a patch which resolves this problem by a) not installing the buildtime cache b) fully implementing trigger capability by having postinst refresh the cache c) have prerm drop the runtime cache so the dirs can be cleaned up properly by dpkg I am afraid this will create more problems than it will solve. With this patch, there is a very real possibility that the package installation will fail. IMNSHO, the proper fix consists of disabling non-cached plugins support, especially for LibVLC applications other than VLC proper. That is doable, but not completely straightforward. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Bug#729238: vlc-nox should not depend on libsmbclient
Hello, Le dimanche 10 novembre 2013, 17:01:58 bns_robson a écrit : I only use vlc-nox to play local files and streams from the Internet and do not play files from SMB servers. I therefore do not want any libraries or programs for SMB on my computer. There are a lot of dependencies to VLC. It would be highly impractical to split them all out to different packages. More importantly, it would become a support hell as users would not know which plugins to install and so the software would just fail. I fail to see how smbclient is special; so far all network plugins are included in vlc-nox for simplicity. There are far more obscure or rarely used libraries that the vlc-nox package depends on. By depending on libsmbclient, vlc-noc forces the installation of libsmbclient and other packages for SMB (the change in libsmbclient on Jessie from 2:3.6 to 2:4.0 greatly increases the number/size of other packages for SMB that will be installed). vlc-nox should be changed to only recommend/suggest libsmbclient and work without it installed when not playing from SMB servers. This is how mount works. If you're mounting SMB then you need SMB packages installed otherwise you don't. Actually you have to install the SMB and CIFS kernel modules with the normal kernel package(s) from Debian, even if you do not ever load them. Same with VLC really. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Bug#708137: H.264 playback problems: `main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `h264'.` (works with Totem and MPlayer)
unmerge 708137 671407 reassign 671407 mediathekview thanks On second thoughts... Le dimanche 19 mai 2013 00:36:54, Benjamin Drung a écrit : Some solutions might be, to try MPlayer before VLC by default or just recommend the package `vlc` and demote `mplayer` and `mplayer2` as suggests(?), so mediathekview works out of the box. I came to different solution suggestions: 1) Mediathekview should show a proper error message instead of garbage in the terminal. The user should see main decoder error: VLC does not support the audio or video format h264. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. error message from VLC. 2) VLC should be better integrated into the system and know that the h264 decoder is in the vlc package. Then VLC should tell the users to install vlc when they try to play a h264 video. That would involve a lot of effort -and Debian-specific at that- to solve a fake problem. The avcodec plugin should be in vlc-nox anyway. Debian created the vlc-nox package for headless server VLC use cases, basically. Users for that package should be sufficiently sophisticated to know what they are installing. 3) The h264 video decoder should be moved back to vlc-nox (bug #671407). Of course. Except that will not work. VLC will then show the video in ASCII art because X11 plugins will still be missing (hence unmerging the bugs). The real problem is a mismatch between the Debian packaging of mediathekview, and the actual code of mediathekview. mediathekview should not assume that VLC works on the sole basis of the base /usr/bin/vlc being executable. So switch mediathekview over to /usr/bin/qvlc (or check that the 'vlc' package is installed). -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Bug#710190: vlc: Segfault when opening a playlist containing rtsp urls
Hello, Le jeudi 30 mai 2013 17:51:26, Reinhard Tartler a écrit : This looks like a segfault in libproxy. Yes. The PAC interpreter is crashing. This type of bug is most likely to affect corporate users, where PAC files are popular. A similar crash has is known in Ubuntu as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libproxy/+bug/1038578, maybe it is the same issue? I don't know if it is the same issue, but there are indeed quite a few PAC- related libproxy bugs in LaunchPad. Remi, executive summary, I suspect that the ubuntu issue above is effectively the same as http://bugs.debian.org/710190. Does the information there help you with identifying the issue? I am not familiar with libproxy internals. Due to the swarm of crash reports, I have made VLC 2.1 execute /usr/bin/proxy from proxy-tools in a separate process instead of calling libproxy directly. (This also weakens the run-time dependency on libproxy.) At least, VLC will not crash anymore. Also, reading bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604934 makes me feel sad and wonder, if there was some way to disable the usage of libproxy in vlc altogether? For VLC 2.0, either `./configure --disable-libproxy' or build-time conflict with libproxy-dev ought to do. Then the plain old $http_proxy will be used. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

tags 700752 + fixed-upstream thanks Le dimanche 17 février 2013 00:44:02, Daniel B. a écrit : So: 1. VLC should not start playing anything before popping up that (and many any other or some other) modal dialog. That's not possible. The GUI is just one view of the playlist controller. The playlist controller starts before the hypothetical GUI, if media is specified on the command line. (Alternatively, making that dialog non-modal would also solve the problem here.) That would suck from usability perspective. The default settings, before the user closes the dialog, do not fetch anything anyway. 2. The wording of that check-box label (and the warning text) should be clear.

tags 665732 = moreinfo help unreproducible thanks Hello, Le mardi 26 février 2013 17:33:21, Johann Klammer a écrit : Adding a usleep(1) after the last aout_unlock() in aout_DecPlay() in src/audio_output/dec.c solves the problem for me. Unfortunately that does not really help pinpoint the problem. It is likely a race, but it could be anywhere. Without a stack trace of the freeze or a way to reproduce the problem, there is nothing I, as a VLC developer, can do about this bug report. Changing volume (with ALSA) exhibits a noticeable delay of a few tenth of a second, due to buffering in the ALSA driver. That is neither new and nor fixable. Several seconds of delay is abnormal. It seems that the GUI thread fails to get woken up after the mutex here is unlocked Not sure if this is a kernel bug or just quality of implementation... While a kernel bug cannot be completely ruled out, a bug in libpthread seems more probable. With that in mind, it would be good to know if the bug reproduces with *unoptimized* libpthread builds (on i386, this can be achieved by removing the libc6-i686 package). -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Nevermind, I think I found the problem thanks to Johann's hint. Depending on the relative dimension of the ALSA output buffer and the VLC decoded audio buffer, the UI thread may never get scheduled when it tries to change the volume or the mute flag. A proper fix may be too invasive for VLC 2.0.x though. Adding a sched_yield() call after aout_unlock() in aout_DecPlay() might work around the problem in the mean time. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Bug#665732: reopen: vlc: GUI latency/unresponsiveness to clicks on control options
tags 665732 + wontfix thanks Hello, Unfortunately, changing volume with ALSA is intrinsically slow because ALSA does not support volume internally. If this is a problem for you, you can either reduce the VLC caching values, or use PulseAudio. I believe there are no ways to fix this without changing the configuration, hence wontfix. Le mardi 15 mai 2012 17:26:51, Dirk Griesbach a écrit : reopen 665732 Package: vlc Version: 2.0.1-4+b2 I reopened the bug because it's not just about a minimal latency or a long standing behavior. Under certain circumstances, the delay is in the range of 10th of seconds and this definitely wasn't the case with pre 2.0 vlc. I found a report[1] in the vlc forum which sounds like the same problem so we should try to find the culprit. My observation so far: * I absolutely can not recognize any delay with ogg audio files. * volume change while playing wav or mp3 introduces a variable delay of multiple seconds - I even had the 30 second experience like in the linked forum thread. * This is not only related to the volume change but the whole GUI is stalled. No reaction on menu or button press actions. * With some other cpu load, the delay will vanish (or at least be minimized). E.g. playing another file in one instance and playing the delaying mp3 in another instance (no dbus invoked); or simple do a `cat /dev/zero /dev/null` * If the system is idling again (apart from playing mp3), the delay is back again, too. * Doing some click-e-di-click on the desktop while waiting for the GUI and sound to respond causes the GUI to react and the volume to change. * No remarkable delay with the vlc web interface * and last but not least: Pause the song, change volume, resume playing. No delay except for the pause-play part. ;-) For me it looks like some event/timer stuff isn't working as it should be and maybe it's just only the Qt-interface?

Bug#673330: vlc: can't control the main window when the Preferences window is open

Bug#684313: vlc crash while playing DVB-T udp multicast (stream generated elsewhere on the LAN via mumudvb)
tags 684313 + moreinfo thanks Hello, From the kernel message, this is probably a bug in the VLC TS demuxer, though it could be a bug in libdvbpsi as well. Unfortunately, without a sample MPEG- TS dump to reproduce the issue, or at the very least a symbolic stack trace of the crash, we cannot investigate this bug further.

Bug#673338: vlc: Ogg duration is shown in the playlist only when the file is being played
tags 673338 + confirmed upstream forwarded 673338 https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/8137 thanks Hello, Le vendredi 18 mai 2012 01:21:42, Vincent Lefevre a écrit : Package: vlc Version: 2.0.1-4+b2 Severity: minor For ogg files, the duration is shown in the playlist only when the file is being played; it disappears as soon as another file is played. MP3 files do not have this problem. Computing the approximate duration of an Ogg file is not quite as simple as that of an MP3. VLC is currently unable to compute the length immediately when the file is opened/preparsed. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
