We enable the "float on top" boolean variable on the native NSWindow class. This is not magical, but indeed very rarely used by other apps.

This is an advanced and quite hidden option.

Go to VLC -> Preferences -> Show All -> Interface -> Main Interfaces -> macosx and then uncheck "Show Fullscreen controller", save and restart VLC.

Looks like VLC falls back on software decoding instead of using the hardware decoder which explains your problem. No idea why this is happening and you are the first to report the problem.

What is the audio codec? Can you do a debug log? (to do that, go to settings within VLC-iOS, enable logging, play the file, then go to the "Files" app, navigate to the "VLC" folder and see the "logs" subdirectory)

You can resize the panel by clicking in the bottom-right and dragging the panel. However, you cannot make it stretch easily across the entire width of the screen.

Ah yes, that is indeed the only feature we removed. However, VLC should still automatically group your TV shows based on the filename.

We removed the sidebar many years ago. All features are available through the tabs at the bottom. No feature was removed.

Not sure which buttons you pressed there. The idea was to select "ignore" for each of the both mouse wheel options.

you want "gapless playback", which might come in version 4 of VLC. So far, the feature is not present in current releases of VLC.

Go to Preferences -> Show All -> Interface -> Hotkeys and disable the mouse wheel options.

We need to debug with your stream or at least have a debug log. Not sure what we changed to make things worse for you. PM me, please.

This dialog will appear only if your have streaming to Chromecast enabled and your Chromecast device does not support the video type you are trying to play. If you want to watch locally, it will of course just work without burning your battery.

It's on our TODO list https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-ios/-/issues/855

Could you share the sample video with us privately? https://streams.videolan.org/upload/

Can you try switching the "audio time stretching" option in settings?

I have no idea what you mean with looping an audio track. The "L" key is equivalent to the "b" key on Windows and Linux. It switches ("cycles") through the list of available audio tracks. Why we decided for a different key on Mac many years ago, I totally cannot remember.

We do not support recording streams on iPad and therefore no hotkey or button exists to do what you'd like to.

I have no idea what's happening then. A crash should generate a log.

No no, I mean the Apple dialog from the OS. If you click "Report.." you will see the text that we need.

hmm, sorry, but you should be using a stable release of VLCKit and not an alpha that we mainly do for internal tests where especially all the methods you mention will be completely re-written for the next alpha release.

You can send any file type using that feature but VLC will only show what it can play, so that's video and audio files, but no Word documents and no photos.

You want "Cycle audio track" , no? By default, this is "L" on Mac, but you can change to "b", too, if you want.

I'm not sure which other option you might have on Linux or what it shall do instead of "cycling".

You don't get a dialog from the OS that VLC crashed? it should be expandable and provide a log then.

No, it is using very old code that was written specifically for VLC literally 20 years ago and wasn't changed since.

We are currently completely reworking the event management in VLCKit v4, so the best is too wait until this is done and the next alpha appears.
