Windows users won’t be left out: Both platforms will see a removal of the “building font cache” dialog box that reared its ugly head whenever you updated the software – a “feature” that tended to drive VLC users slightly crazy due to the time it took. The latest update covers Windows and Mac OS X users, with Apple users getting a good portion of the new goodies, including support for the new Retina display and the Growl 1.3 OS X notification system. While removing VLC and reinstalling 1.1.1 did not help, removing VLC and installing 1.0.5.The Monday Version 2.0.2 release of the free open source VLC media player points out a surprising hole in the age of the Internet video – there is still no universal standard for video formats and players.įortunately, VLC is there to fill in the gaps among proprietary formats and competing ecosystems, playing just about every video in use. (Which I haven't found a way to disable yet.) What's up? I assume the video artefacts have something to do with GPU-acceleration. The video playback has developed weird blocky artefacts that were never there and the audio playback has weird choppy errors in it. This latest version of VLC has been highly odd. Right now I am going to uninstall VLC and completely purge my system of any VLC-related files, again. So, at the moment I can't think of any way to get VLC to work.Ĭould it be that VLC and OpenOffice can't be used on the same computer together with this version of VLC? It just did not work, though I can think of no worldly reason for why it wouldn't.) I've tried completely uninstalling VLC and removing all VLC-related files from the computer, and then reinstalling. I've tried to delete the VLC folder under AppData -> Roaming. If I try to cancel it, VLC stops responding, but doesn't stop this eternal process of building nothing that takes up all system resources, so summoning up Task Manager to cancel the damn thing takes the better part of 5 minutes. I assume that Open Office adds some fonts to Windows and that fonts are somehow at the core of this issue.Įvery time I try to open any file in VLC, I get the message about "building font cache".
I believe it started when I installed Open Office.
