It is quite lengthly 19:05:37 <wilcal> I am working a problem with M8 that I don't fully understand yet enough to create a bug. It has to do with viewing an mp4 video at least in VLC. The sound plays, the video does not. This has started occuring in the last week or so. Other video players, and DE, are exhibiting the same problem. Sound but no video. Open a terminal to the directory with a test mp4 file and do this: ffplay test.mp4 and the video and sound play just fine. Going back to Mageia- 19:05:38 <wilcal> 8-beta1-Live-Plasma-x86_64.iso ( 7/19/20 ) and VLC plays both the video and audio just fine. I have much more testing to do and will generate a bug when I understand the parameters better. Any suggestions are appreciated. Note that M7.1 works everywhere with everything just fine on the same platform. If I run a Vbox client, M8 Host Vbox M8 client, VLC plays mp4 files video and audio just fine. 19:06:55 <wilcal> Hi hv 19:07:06 <hviaene> Hi all, sorry to be late 19:07:19 <wilcal> can u see the post I just made about VLC? 19:07:26 <hviaene> No 19:07:33 <wilcal> I'll post it again 19:07:47 <wilcal> I am working a problem with M8 that I don't fully understand yet enough to create a bug.

Too slow. 19:18:43 <wilcal> no problem 19:18:57 <wilcal> The kicker for me is ffplay that works just fine 19:19:31 <wilcal> anything on the updates list 19:19:38 <wilcal> almost nothing there 19:20:01 <wilcal> Lets ,move on and make this a short meeting 19:20:03 <wilcal> #topic Anything else? 19:20:07 <wilcal> ANything else 19:20:45 <wilcal> Nothing 19:20:52 <wilcal> OK guys thanks for being here 19:20:56 <MageiaTJ> My power was off for about 8 hours yesterday. 19:21:01 <hviaene> Not here, I hope to get next week back to rpmbuild 19:21:13 <MageiaTJ> Wind took down a power line. 19:21:33 <wilcal> Power rarely goes off in Sin City USA with Hoover Dam just a few miles up the road :-)) 19:21:50 <wilcal> Count down time 19:21:53 <wilcal> T-5 19:21:54 <MageiaTJ> And few trees. 19:22:06 <hviaene> G'night all 19:22:15 <wilcal> T-4 19:22:17 <Ezequiel_Partida> wilcal 19:22:20 <wilcal> Bye 19:22:24 <wilcal> T-3 19:22:40 <wilcal> T-2 19:22:45 <wilcal> T-1 19:22:47 <wilcal> #endmeeting
