(Resolved) VLC 2.0 running fast and skipping

found the problem.. its the whole folder that I had copied from my backup drive onto my home folder.. just tried a few songs and movies from the backup drive and they play just fine.. 

what ?  did the copying get corrupt somehow ?

Maybe the new location is not being read correctly for some reason - as in failing to get immediate access when needed .....  that might cause the problem .....

Great, glad it's resolved.

I hate to say this but they might be seriously fragmented, like
75% instead of just 1 or 2 percent, which is not supposed to
happen in Linux, but many, many updates over time can do so eventually.
Can't think of anything else, I'd try the copy over then.

Have a good one.
