How to set up VLC Growl notifications?

[Buligwyf]

Could someone please explain me how to associate VLC with Growl. Do I need an additional Plugin? If so, where is it? B

As usual, whenever I cry out for help, I figure out the problem. It now works

actually, I have the exact same question, for the life of me I can't figure it out. VLC v0.8.6 Growl v0.7.5

Thanks!

VLC->Preferences->Interface->Control Interfaces. Check Growl

Should do it. Good luck! B

ooooooh! man, i dunno how i missed that. I was looking in the growl specific preference pane, and didn't even think to look there. thanks.

except, now I have a weird problem, everytime I try to launch VLC it bounces in my dock a few times and then just quits. I can't get it to open up. The only thing that I changed was enabling the growl notifications, except since VLC won't open I can't uncheck that preference.

anyway to fix this, or do I just need to reinstall VLC?

Before you uninstall, open Growl Preferences->Network and check " Listen for incoming notifications" ( possibly also "Allow remote application registration" ). If that doesn´t work, my limited knowledge can only suggest reinstalling. Godspeed!
