Indeed annoying but as raster stated there would be a workaround for now. > 2. randomly (but quite frequently) the video stop playing and the player > die. > This usually happen at least one time in a 20min video, is hard to > see a whole video without at least a crash. Hmm, to be honest I have a hard time to see a bug get fixed in the one week delay which happens randomly and might even be in vlc or our code. Sounds like a longer journey to fix it. > I don't know if we want to consider those as showstopper (I do) but a week > delay > shouldn't hurt too much imo. The real question is if the week would help to actually fix these bugs. I would think that these problems also show up with emoton generic players 1.8.1, right? In the bigger picture for me they look like bugs but not showstoppers for the whole release because a) emotion generic players is really a small component compared to efl and elementary and b) these bugs are lingering around for a long time or are related to libvlc changes. In any case I might still be willing to delay for a week for these issues. Lets see on Friday or Monday where we stand with these. regards Stefan Schmidt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
