Description awfiv 2010-12-15 19:37:43 CET

VLC starts playing MPEG2 video then pauses; CPU +30%, with below messages.

Plays properly using Xine, MPlayer at about 60% CPU.

Up to date Fedora 14 x86_64, stable hardware and system. AMD 3200, ATI AGP 9250.

VLC build date 10/14/2010

Do not know how long problem existed, but have seen it previously.

Will send more info if necessary. Thx.

Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet 2010-12-15 20:40:43 CET

Can you upload a sample mpeg2 file somewhere ?

Are you using the default video output ?
Can you backup the configuration files and reset it:
mv ~/.config/vlc /tmp

(also, give a try withe the plugin cache reset )
rm -rf /usr/lib/vlc/*.dat

Comment 2 awfiv 2010-12-15 20:50:20 CET

mv ~/.config/vlc /tmp; rm -rf /usr/lib/vlc/*.dat; no effect on problem.

File is 10GB; I will attempt to trim to small size (using dd, video util, or other) while not affecting the PTS issue. Please give me a day or so.
Thx.

Sent 5MB test file via email exhibiting issue. Thank you.

Comment 4 Nicolas Chauvet 2010-12-17 15:14:56 CET

It also appear with me from the log, but wouldn't noticed as hardware might be more recent/different.
Does the problem also appears with other audio format ?

Comment 5 awfiv 2010-12-23 17:30:10 CET

Not sure what you are asking. VLC works for me to play most all other media types, FLVs, other mpgs, etc. without problem. My audio system works well via pulseaudio. (Earlier I replied out of band - sorry for the apparent delay in responding...)

What media types can I try for you? Need more info? Thank You for your efforts.

Comment 6 Nicolas Chauvet 2011-02-16 11:50:26 CET

What if you downgrade vlc to 1.1.4 (which is available in rpmfusion GA repository).
yum downgrade vlc vlc-core should works

Comment 7 Nicolas Chauvet 2011-06-25 14:32:30 CEST

Please reproduce with 1.1.10 if the problem reappear
