Ever notice that MKV files load significantly slower than before in VLC on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)? I did, and for someone who has a lot of media files encoded in the format, it’s almost unusable to have to wait a minute while seeing the CPU on one core maxed out. The version of VLC player I have is 1.0.3, the latest as of this post. However, the issue seems to be around since at least 1.0.1 as discussed on this page:http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=64302&start=15
The fix is pretty simple assuming you are not scared of entering a command in the terminal:
- Open terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
- Copy and paste this: ‘sudo chmod a+w /usr/X11/var/cache/fontconfig’ without the quotes
- Enter your admin password (for most people, that’s just your current account’s password if you are an admin)
- Open a .MKV file and close it after it starts playing
- Now open any .MKV file again and things should be as snappy as before!
You just saved many hours of my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place
Not sure I get what you meant but from my brief research into the issue, it seems to be a problem with VLC and not my system.
Can you present much more details on this? and where i can locate rssof your weblog?
