VLC media player for Windows Troubleshooting • Re: VLC Player not playing back silent interludes properly in streams using Ogg Vorbis and FLAC if bitrate is 0bps



Here is the log file after I placed a track on Virtual DJ after Edcast had connected to the Icecast server using the Ogg Vorbis codec. I then pressed the play button to start the track on Virtual DJ. I then pressed play on VLC player to play back the stream. The stream started playing. After a few seconds I paused the track on Virtual DJ so that the audio level was at -infinity dB, and then restarted it about 10 seconds later.

When the track was paused VLC player started glitching and repeated the last second of the track about a couple of seconds after I’d paused the track and Virtual DJ was outputting silence at -infinity dB (ie. zeros). Then after I resumed playing the track VLC player took double the length of the pause for the track to be audible again, where if I had been streaming in mp3 format instead the audio from the track would have been heard less than about 5 seconds later. At no point during this procedure was the connection to Icecast dropped.
