Package: vlc
Version: 3.0.3-1
Since Debian stable switched to VLC 3.X I started to notice the problem
with video seek. I was able to reproduce the problem consistently with
VLC 3.0.3 from Debian stable repository and with VLC 3.0.4 from Debian
unstable repository.
Video seek causes video track to lag (as if it is slightly paused and
resumed extremely frequently). After disabling and then enabling the
video track again it plays normally until one performs a seek again.
This seems to be caused by the "avcodec-hurry-up=0" setting in the
"~/.config/vlc/vlcrc" file. When this is switched to the default value
("avcodec-hurry-up=1") video seek works normally. However I would prefer
using "avcodec-hurry-up=0" to be sure that VLC does not skip frames as
my CPU is fast enough and previous VLC versions worked great with
"avcodec-hurry-up=0".
Mostly noticed with various MP4/MKV files with H264 MPEG-4 AVC codec
(all files which I tested up to now, so sample should be easy to obtain).
