Windows10Home, VLC 2.2.6 Umbrella 32-bit (Cannot use the 64-bit version due to snapshot-naming bug.) I now have a Dell XPS 15 9560 with a 3840x2160 screen, with size of text, apps, etc, set at 250% (by Dell). VLC's interface icons are so tiny I can hardly see them. Increasing the text etc size to t...

Thank you very much, EodiV and Lotesdelere, I really appreciate your attention to this and hope "the team" can come up with something soon

VLC 2.2.6 Umbrella I get no reaction to View>AdvancedControls, whether VLC is empty or running a live network stream or playing a recording :-/ If the 4 buttons did appear, should they display on the interface?

VLC 2.2.6 Umbrella

I get no reaction to View>AdvancedControls, whether VLC is empty or running a live network stream or playing a recording :-/

If the 4 buttons did appear, should they display on the interface? They'd be no good if they had to be accessed via the View menu every time.

I can't write code at all, Aeneas - and I can't take time out to learn (which would be very time-consuming, where I'm concerned, and with no guarantee of success ).

I asked for "display/record date & time" years ago. Mederi (to whom, kudos!) tried to write a code for me but it didn't work out. Such a feature would save so much work and so many headaches.

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit ~ Codec = default ~ Graphics either Intel HD Graphics 4600 (per i7-4810MQ CPU) or GeForce GTX 860M

URL = http://carnyxlive.co.uk:1935/live/abern ... ylist.m3u8 (It's buffering badly today, doesn't always.)

Any advice much appreciated

I've searched this forum and also tried to find help on the wiki but all I have found is incomprehensible and/or for very old versions of VLC. 2.2.6 UMBRELLA I'm getting terrible motion blur watching a network stream. I also screen-capture this stream and do not get the problem nearly as badly, tho ...

Error persists in 2.2.6 Umbrella.

Thank you for the solution, but it is such a pain to re-set it up, especially to re-customise the interface

As you say, it seems as though it should be a relatively easy fix - but wuddoo I know? :-/

I do hope that the developers could acknowledge the request, and maybe explain why it won't/can't be acted on.

I would like to second this request.

I've been using VLC for years and keep meaning to ask if the blue colour which surrounds the red when recording is activated could be brightened, or made more obvious in some other way.

I play and record a lot of network streams and need to delete from history any whose url has changed or which I don't use any more. (For one thing, the font is very small, so it can be difficult to differentiate between similar urls.) This is bigger than the actual 'working' interface I have to use,...

As a gift for a friend I've just bought a Lenovo IdeaPad 100S 11.6" netbook running Windows10, it has a 32GB eMMC drive and 2GB RAM , and I've added a 128GB SD card for storage. That was an "impulse buy" and now I'm worried about installing extra programs on it - VLC will be essential...

I use VLC to download and simultaneously record network streams from wildlife webcams. I go thru the resulting files with an editor and cut out & join "interesting" episodes for uploading to YouTube and sharing with fellow watchers. These files are .ts and are extremely difficult to na...

I'm downloading a live cam which results in .ts files which my video editor cannot handle. I can convert them with another program so that the editor can handle them but am up against the clock so I wondered if VLC could convert the download "on the fly"? NB - almost very term in VLC's set...

I've been using VLC for years and it's always been difficult to find how to choose one's own preference for recordings to be saved to, but in 2.1.5 it's impossible . Snapshots - easypeasy, just look under Video :? I'm sure it used to be in Input/Codecs but I cannot find it there now. I do not want m...

For the past 2 years I (and others) have been using VLC to watch and recordthese 2 cams streaming the inside of a barn owl nesting box and the inside of the barn it is situated in. Suddenly over the past couple of days, VLC can't play the streams (or it just manages a few seconds then shuts off). We...

The real problem is likely that something is causing VLC to gain focus... ... ... Is there any reason you need it always-on-top?...just to keep an eye on it? Actually I added to my last post when I suddenly twigged what the problem might be, but then I thought that I was taking up too much of any r...

Reset preferences.

Thank you, Jean-Baptiste, but that does not remove or disable the hotkeys, they seem to be part of the default settings - but now I've lost everything else, including history and preferences and interface (which takes me ages to get right). *sob*

I've been using VLC for 3 years but I never came across this problem until 2.0.8 - maybe I've just been lucky up to now? I record streams with VLC "always on top" in a corner of my screen, and continue to surf/do other things on the same laptop. But now when I type "s" it stops V...

Windows couldn't find "filename.luac" but I found the Reader folder via Save As, and (after giving everyone full permission for that specific folder) it's worked :) I've lost "vlc" from the title, "wbc" is Web Broadcasting Corporation, it's their stream. That's OK :) ht...

Thank you very much, Mederi :) Weird! :? It works for the ospreys (Abernethy), but not for the barn owls: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/satissa/PCs%20AV%20etc/VLC%20settings/2013-09-0706_04_31-D__VIDEOCAPTURES_zps1aa3f228.jpg There are 2 cams for the barn owls, inside and outside the nestbox,...

Hello, Mederi, once again you try to help me :) I still have your attempt at embedding date/time code saved in a folder, no-one has ever solved that problem. I tried your suggestion above but it didn't work in the way I need it to, and I realise you don't have sufficient info so here are some screen...

I record streams and am finding the default titles too long (I need to see several columns, like time modified, length, when fetching up clips with video editor, which acts like Windows Explorer). I see that snapshots can easily have their default prefix changed from "vlcsnap" but cannot f...

UPDATE:

I'm sure that VLC has been recording much more reliably since adopting Jean-Baptiste's tip and ticking the Auto-reconnect box - so I assume I found the right box
