The latest version of the OS/2 VLC player just got released...I downloaded
1.1.13, was previously using 1.1.11.
Here is the strange situation I'm seeing, I have the VLC frame running in a
separate window then the video playback. With 1.1.13 the video window frame
shows up fine and plays back fine, however the actual VLC window frame (where
all program controls exist) is nowhere to be found. Indeed, strange enough, on
my 4 core AMD Phenom II machine the CPU monitor goes crazy and I see all cores
firing endlessly. This is the sort of behaviour I have seen with Firefox when
not using "SET NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1" setting to avoid problems with the
high-resolution timer.
In comparison to 1.1.11, the player behaved just fine, no issues found and the
CPU utilization was negligent...barely any spikes. My Phenom is running at 4
GHZ, all four cores...so that is plenty of processing power.
When installing 1.1.13 I completely wiped out the previous version, so no file
conflicts should exist. Once I encountered the problem I also rebooted to rule
this out.
Has anyone seen this as well?

I'm seeing the above with vlc 1.1.13 on a 2core system.

I just checked for updates and the download is 1.1.12. Maybe .13 was
withdrawn.

Sorry, by "bug report" I meant I had sent an email to KO - not sure if

Do you mean you didn't check 'Preferences/Interface/Look and fee/Embed
video in interface' ?

Hmm... Strange. VLC 1.1.x does not use high-resolution timer at all.

I'm sorry I cannot reproduce this problem at all.
But I want to confirm that this is a problem of a multi-core system. How
about disabling other cores except 1 core ?
Finally, I read your e-mail. However for the others encountering this
problem, I reply to newsgroup.

Do you have gcc446.dll somewhere on your libpath?
I installed it as it is required for the latest odin build and found vlc
now has a qt gui again.
If you do not have this dll file get it here
http://ignum.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ecsports/GCC%20Runtime%20DLLs/gcc446.zip

LOL...sure enough....I went looking through the regular Netlabs interface, no
matter how high/low I looked...didn't find VLC there...so I'll await the news
here or an email response...thanks for clarifying that!

Actually, with this release, it appears that the previous INI file was either
not-detected, or ignored. I had always set the 'Embed video in interface' to
OFF
(meaning, no check mark there), so yes, the answer to your question is : YES, I
did not have it checked.
But...as Peter Brown posted in another response, including gcc446.dll all of a
sudden makes VLC work just fine. This is how I discovered that the INI file I
had previously used was no longer being honoured and that setting I mentioned
above was now actually CHECKED...

OK, shutting OFF the 3 of the 4 cores (using SETPROC utility) and renaming
gcc446.dll to something else (thus making it inaccessible to the process)
causes
the remaining single core to MAX out, running at 100% utilization. The video
still plays, but if I chose to close the window the VLC program itself
continues
to run, still maximizing the core at 100% utilization. I then kill the process,
which does end it.
Now, as I mentioned above, Peter suggested adding gcc446.dll, sure enough, that
allowed VLC to function correctly on my system again, with a single or multiple
cores enabled.
OK, so here is what I noticed: the HELP=>About screen shows the following :
'...Compiler: gcc version 4.4.6 (GCC)...', so it certainly appears to me that
gcc446.dll is a requirement to run 1.1.13 successfully, and as best as I could
tell this was not listed in the README...so maybe just a missing piece of info,
no biggie really.
But I'm curious now, why does the missing DLL (gcc446.dll) cause such a
behaviour? The VLC control window is not displayed...and that makes sense, but
the weird core utilization spike is just so extremely similar behaviour to the
Firefox high-res timer issue...to the point that I'm curious what the do have
to
do with each other. Is there anything I can do to help debug this? Could we
pursue this even though this is not a real VLC problem?
Thanks KO for the great work, as always!

Yup, you were right on the money here...gcc446.dll was missing on my
system...installing it allowed VLC to function correctly.
I responded to KO's post, I'm very curious why the behaviour with the missing
DLL...seems so awefully similar to my Firefox experience.

Why do so many developers not link in gcc*.dll statically? We've pretty
well always done that with Mozilla (I screwed up the recently uploaded
SeaMonkey 2.6). The license allows it (GPL with linking exception, Peter
got Knut to update the Innotek licensing).
Just need to set GCCOPT=-static-libgcc or as I have, set GCCOPT=-pipe
-static-libgcc.

Must only be using a small function in gcc446.dll as it does actually
start. IIRC there are only a couple of small functions in gcc*.dll.
For comparison I built a SeaMonkey with gcc 4.4.6 forgetting to link
statically and it wouldn't even start with out gcc446.dll

So any guesses as to why the CPU/core behaviour appears to exhibit the same
symptoms? Again, my only goal here is to identify the root cause of that
strangeness...from my software development experience (I admit, it pales in
comparison to what you guys do these days to keep this stuff compiling and
running on our platform) I would have expected the application to flat out die
if the required DLL itself is missing...no matter how tiny of an API is being
used...I am guessing it's the system's response to such a situation that's
exhibiting the CPU spiking.

I suspect this means that the main executable does not need the DLL, but
one of the plugins does.

When I started vlc.exe 1.1.13 from a cmd prompt, it complained about libc064
not being found. You don't see this if I just click on vlc.exe. I have
gcc446.dll in \ecs\dll, but didn't have that libc064. I downloaded it from
netlabs (ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.4-csd4.zip), but that
contains also other libc06x dlls. After just unzipping libc064.dll, vlc.exe
exits immediately, no error this time. When unzipping the other dlls too, it
still exits. Before the upgrade 1.1.11 started fine.
More to research, obviously.

You need gcc446.dll as well, which Peter found out as he ran into this issue,
posted about it, I tried on my machine and it addressed the issue I was seeing,
here is what I tossed in:

Why not? Libc064.dll seems to have been a bit rushed and personally I
haven't installed the forwarder DLLs either yet.

I would think it's really calling for trouble to have one
application using two different LIBCs at the same time
(VLC core - >0.6.4, Qt -> 0.6.3).

Good point. The problem I have is that I have to keep libc063 around for
building Mozilla as using libc064 breaks SSL and I'm not sure how to
trace the problem down.
VLC does seem to work fine with the mixed DLLs.
