Bro my VLC media player taking to much time to load or play a video in starting.
Your solution not able to solve this problem.

[agentnot]

thank you my dear friend you just fix my problem

Built a new computer in September, 23. More than enough to run 4k videos without problems. VLC was very laggy with 2160p+. This helped 100%. Thanks so much. THIS IS THE FIX. (assuming your video card/PC can actually handle 4k graphics)

it's not crashing anymore but it lags now, ty

Worked for me but for those who think this video is uploaded in bad quality. it is not, but I had to change the settings in YouTube because it was automatically choosing a resolution of 360 I chose 1080 and then it was very clear.

I ended up reverting to a previous release of vlc (30.0.16) on ubuntu 22.04 from vlc (30.0.18) and everything was fixed no tweaking needed. 18 was pegging the cpu usage almost 100% and 16 uses 25%. Hope this helps someone.

BRILLIANT!!! Thanks so much, been trying to get this sorted for ages

1:38 My friend, this did not work for me, because at this point 1:38 things are different from when you made this video. Would appreciate if you could look into this, and make an updated video. Thanks, in advance. And here 2:12, double click does nothing.

Also if you are video recording in 4k on your cellphone, make sure you are not recording with the HEVC codec. Even though I tried these tricks it would still lag. I disabled the HEVC codec on my phone and now it playsback properly on my laptop.

WORKED 100% on my VLC 4K lag and skipping when playing high res videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ROCK!!!

[otallono]

Fixed BUT if I disable the decoding, that made it worse so everything in the video leaving out the last part worked for me.

[craigharris]

Changing the cache from 1000 to 2000 didn't work, but changing it to 4000 did the trick. Thanks!!

Have made the changes suggested in VLC. But my issue is still the am playing 4K video on my pc and same video also on my 4k tv. On my 4k tv the video looks much smoother (eg when turns are made with the video camera), but on my pc these turns look very fast and you almost think you are turning the video recording way to fast. But on my tv the result looks much smoother. Not sure what to do about this for PC? I have a I9 processor, 32gb, 4k monitor, rtx2060 super. Any ideas?

[veebee]

Thank you for the video. My issue is when editing videos, there is time lag between pressing 'STOP' button and the actual stop in recording. The recording goes on for another second or two after pressing the STOP button. Is there a way to prevent this? Thank you in advance.

[seirios]

hello, i followed your guidances..it is better than before but it is still lagging....any other help?thanks

[muchasgracias]

Thank You! 🙏 it helped on capturing media streams from being very horrible to just wonderful. 👍Have a nice Day! ❤❤

[md]

Tried all you suggested, but still not working. My problem is when I play 8bit video it's working and when I play 10 bit video it's not. It's lagging and choppy and the moving objects gets blurry and mushy. Could you give me any advice? Thanks ( by the way my video editor program, plays everything perfectly but not vlc)

[stephenguinane]

Had this issue for years with mkv. Still do. Tried this a few devices too and no change. What are you all doing different?

[jrgallardo]

Thank you so much my dear! It solve my issues on 4k video playback stuttering.

Any one know how to fix "seek/skip forward lags"? When I use short seek/skip or medium seek/skip shortcut keys the video takes a while to move to next 5-10 seconds. However, there is no lag with the audio when I skip. This is happening with only downloaded videos from websites such as YouTube or Metacafe.. anyone know how to fix? The above didn't work!
Please help, thanks 🙏🏻
