Re: How To Use VLC for iOS and how to customize the app

Unlike others, I can't figure out how to get files from my Win 8.1 PC to the VLC media library on my iPad Mini 2 via iTunes and a wired connection (latest VLC, iOS). I read that VLC for iOS can play most anything, so I'm trying to test with avi and mkv files. The Apple instructions you posted are a ...

Re: Forbidden access to forums using IE9

Not sure why I got an email notification on Sept 14 for an Aug 2 post, which seems to be the last, but I am finding that Opera 12.50 (Win 7x64) does show the forums now - at least on my laptop from China.

Re: Forbidden access to forums using IE9

I have to laugh. Talking about spam, today, August 2, I received an email, dated today, that the topic has received a new reply since my last visit. That would have been July 17 - one I had already received notice of back then ("notify me when a reply is posted"). Who exactly are the pot a...

Re: Forbidden access to forums using IE9

I wrote Opera and here's what one of its developers had to say: "...Given the information in the thread, I suspect that the blocking is more due to ISP IP address blocking than User Agent sniffing, or it may be that both have to match, since other browsers could access. It depends on how that s...

Re: Forbidden access to forums using IE9

This is happening because we have a very strong spam system. We refuse browsers that have fishy user-agents, IPs on blocklists and known open-proxies. This is not fun, but this is the only way we can reduce the spam on this forum. So exactly which of those do Opera and IE9 inherently have? Yeah, I ...

Re: Forbidden access to forums using IE9 (and Opera)

I'm getting the 403 error for these forums with both IE9 and Opera 12; it's only working with Waterfox 12 (FF x64). In my case the two HTTP 1.1 boxes in IE9 were already checked. So why is this block happening? It's not something I run into anywhere else, except for those occasional websites that ar...

How to maintain file associations during update?

I'm using Win 7x64 but assume this is general. I have some types of files set to run in VLC and some with other similar apps. During an update, such as this last one to 2.0.2, there doesn't seem to be anyway to maintain the previous file associations (vs. the general settings). From what I can tell,...

Re: Putting media title down below

The closest thing I see is on the Subtitles/OSD page > OnScreen Display, which is already set to bottom. Btw, does VLC forums no longer work with Opera and IE? I...

Putting media title down below

2.0.0 with Win 7/64. I seem to recall that earlier versions of VLC put the audio title (album and song) on the bottom instead at the top of the player. Is there a way to get it down below, where it's easier to see quickly (and with less neck strain)? Thanks,

Re: Odd VLC 1.1.5 install

No. If it had, I wouldn't have written and called it odd. And, since I turned down the uninstall, wouldn't I have then found a dual install or some obvious remnants?

Odd VLC 1.1.5 install

Odd thing happened during install. I download (Run) and when done, the install pop up soon says 1.1.5 is already installed, would I like to uninstall it. So I open VLC just to check and it's 1.1.4. Then I go ahead and install and now it shows as 1.1.5. Just to be certain, I search for vlc.exe and fi...

Re: VLC 1.1.0 Not opening older .m3u files

1.1.1 test build (July 8) solves the problem. Just wish the install would be fixed to recognize the previous settings and leave file file associations alone.

Tray icon shows very different download speed than program

4.3.1.4 - XP/SP3. I've noticed with this version that running the cursor over the Vuze icon in the Notification Tray shows a download speed considerably different, usually lower, than what the program (My Torrents) shows. For example, the latter is currently showing about 250 kb/s, while the icon is...

Installing and previous settings

I just installed 1.0.2 to replace 1.0.1 and, as usual, I did not delete my previous settings. But I'm always confused during a VLC install about the relationship between the file association options being shown for approval and my previous settings. Do the new ones ignorne the old, override the old ...

Re: lower volume

Thanks. I don't really care, just poking around for cause(s) of the substantial volume differences. My AC3 config screen shows the same settings as yours, given that SPDIF now has its own tab, so that doesn't seem to be it. Playing a video with AC3 audio in VLC brings up the a52 codec. They're suppo...

Re: lower volume

Thanks. The Stereo choice is showing correctly. Before the reinstalls, AC3 and ffdshow icons would show up in the sys tray (notification panel) with VLC and not ZP. Since the reinstalls, it's just the opposite. Their presence seems to correlate with volume level. Where do I get those working correct...

lower volume

For a few weeks after a switch back and forth twice of motherboards, VLC 1.0.1 was playing videos and some music at higher volume than Zoom Player 6 or 7RC. Then after some uninstalls/reinstalls of Realtek driver and players, the situation reversed a bit and is as follows: - ZP7 plays much louder th...

Re: Two VLC screens with single video

This just means your video has two tracks enabled. VLC show them correctly.
Under 0.8.x last March VLC was of a different opinion.
