Known issues

Qt4 UI slow

When Qt4 is enabled, the video horrendously slow.

Application icon not working

The icon in the application menu does something weird, but what it does not do is actually start VLC (starting from command line works fine).

Video artificats in windowed mode

There are green lines on the video in windowed mode (full-screen mode works fine).

Pause drains battery

Well-known VLC design issue. Use stop instead of pause.

MPEG2 decoding is abnormally slow

VLC decodes MPEG2 much slower than FFmpeg. This is a bug in the LAVC wrapper in VLC.

Incomplete Debian packaging

Clean target does not work (due to contribs). Building requires network access (due to contribs too).

No X deinterlacing optimizations

Chroma not optimized for encodingFront VGA camera V4L2 support broken

OMAP frame buffer output crashes

For unknown reasons, the VLC omapfb triggers a segmentation fault. Use XVideo instead.
