VLC media player 3.0.15
- Thread starter silversurfer
- Start date
Clicking on 'Check for updates' from VLC Media Player notified me that I had the most recent version, I have 3.0.14. ON the Videolan website I was offered the 32-bit version for a 64-bit machine despite having no settings in operation that spoof my machine, manually going through the download page found me the 64-bit version of 3.0.15.
Ahh, finally after all these years they have fixed this. This issue is one of the main reasons I moved away from VLC back a few years ago and even made my brother switch who has always used VLC as far as I can remember.
Glad it's fixed now.
Here's VLC with massive lag while seeking in the previous version: 3.0.14 or anything prior to the latest version.
Now here's VLC with the latest version: 3.0.15.
No more seeking issue
Those patch notes are incomplete for some reason, the full one is this;
Changes between 3.0.14 and 3.0.15:
----------------------------------
Core:
* Add Opus & Alac wave format mappings
Access:
* Fix opening DVD folders with non-ascii characters
Demux:
* Fix asf regression with broadcast streams
* MP4: Fix audio drop on seek
Video Output:
* Fix seek & volume sliders overlapping with subtitles
* Fix delays when seeking with D3D11
Text renderer:
* Improve freetype fonts outlining
Misc:
* Fix GnuTLS support for Windows XP
---
Source? the NEWS.txt file that comes with the package.

They still haven't fixed the hardware acceleration with x265 videos causing it to crash even though other players can play them
I'm not having any issues with x265 videos and hardware acceleration.They still haven't fixed the hardware acceleration with x265 videos causing it to crash even though other players can play them

Yeah. Seems to be hardware dependent but the problems are real and the bug reports online never seem to resolve it without disabling hardware acceleration. They just tuck it under the rug.

Uninstall it and reinstall it again? as the commenters said no issues
I already did that. It's a VLC problem. Other players work.
