The bug should be fixed and new version exported to the repository.
I do not think VLC is meant to be a program which needs hacking on the terminal window.
zimon, what repository is the new version in? i can't find any updated version in this
yes, .vob playback needs more resources and running it on mobile device is too much. while playing with command line cvlc, few options give acceptable performance.
Seems an awful lot of work to get a resource hungry app to work on a two year old portable chipset. Not to mention needs OC to play decent and that means short battery life.
None the less, your tenacity is to be commended
That said and based on the original date of the first post, this app has been coming for almost a year now.
Actually I disagree. I think the N900 is fast enough, VLC just isn't finished, not finished at all. Plus the .vod format you were playing is nothing really common, especially not on mobile phones.
Absolutely agree with you. Have any of you tried NITDroid and RockPlayer? NITDroid is not yet optimised - but yet this is playing much better than the native VLC agent really..
Yesterday I upgraded to power kernel (settings) and over clocked device to 250-850Mhz (ideal profile crashed couple of time). Vlc player failed to play same .vob smoothly. Command line cvlc could play it better with single option --ffmpeg-hurry-up .
It seems --ffmpeg-hurry-up is suppose to be default enabled in VLC player (as per http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help) but installed vlc player dosn't have it as a default enabled.
Enabling --ffmpeg-hurry-up enabled in VLC can improve speed,
--ffmpeg-hurry-up, --no-ffmpeg-hurry-up
Hurry up (default enabled)
The decoder can partially decode or skip frame(s) when there is not
enough time. It's useful with low CPU power but it can produce
distorted pictures. (default enabled)
