Vlc Building Font Cache Mac



UPDATE: This bug seems to have been fixed in the latest versions of VLC player, which you can get from VideoLAN.

I'm building VLC-git from AUR in another computer (this one in x8664) and I'll try to convince a friend of mine with a Mac to try to test VLC there. EDIT: I couldn't compile VLC-git so I put VLC-dev (VLC 1.0.0rc4). Exactly the same thing with the ass subtitle. It works fine with Mplayer tho. So definitely a VLC thing.

Technically, the window should show up only once, thereby making it a lot less irritating that it’d otherwise be. However, an unresolved bug in VLC keeps randomly triggering this pop-up when it shouldn’t, and makes us all wait so much more to watch our movies!

The VLC team suggests disabling subtitles as a temporary fix to this bug. If you can live without subtitles, here’s how to proceed:
