On: Open Source VLC media player 2.0.0 is out

[babebridou]

Anyone else having issues with the delay in volume control? I'm used to the volume changing instantly whenever I change it with the mouse wheel, but in 2.00 there seems to be an annoying delay of about a second for each change, at least on my PC.

This appears to be the relevant bug: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5654

Thanks for the link. It certainly looks like it.

[jbk → babebridou]

Yes.

Some audio outputs have changed to the new mode, some have not. It will come in some future minor releases.

In the new version, it also seems to actually change the volume a lot more drastically (at least above 100%), which is a good thing.

It used to be a linear scale, which is a nonsense. Now it use a quadratic scale (faster to compute than a log and close enough)

[tshaddox → jbk]

Interesting. I can't imagine that computers would have any trouble computing the log of a small integer many times per second.

[jbk → tshaddox]

No, but quadratic is faster and the result (here) is close enough to be good.
