Krazubu Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thank you, dunno for the others but for me VLC updates always work as {censored} so far. Near unusable, except for some videos if I don't play with seeking and buttons too much. I still use an early port made by lamer_0 (not sure tho) when OSX x86 was on its first steps wich works quite well.

urig-herb Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Same for me. I try new VLC builds from time to time, but they always crash on my avi files. I'm still using VLC_20050924_x86_bin.dmg. I think this is the first port done bei lamer0.

declan Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Works great for me, and most not all the nightly builds did. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14469-vlc-media-player-085-test2-beta-release/#findComment-93095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I think most applications are geared towards real Macs. I would like to hear feedbacks from them about this build. Maybe if the devs were building from a hacked PC and tested on a hacked PC it would be different.
