The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,

I'm on the Contribute and help the VideoLAN project @ https://forum.videolan.org/viewforum.php?f=18. Even though I've contributed before, this time I cannot locate the Make Donation button. Can someone please tell me where it is?

Kind regards,

I listen to a local Public Radio Station (PBS) broadcast from www.wyso.org. It will no longer play on"VLC Media Player 2.0.5 Twoflower" when I enter its new URL into VLC's "Open location from clipboard" text box. Below is the Q/A transcript of a dialog I had with the broadcast te...

Hi. The search string "restore default file associations" yields only ways to restore file associations which VLC has taken over. My problem is the exact opposite of this. Another application has taken over many of the default VLC associations I depend on. So my question is: How can I rest...

I can visualize many settings in which displaying the VLC window "on top of" other windows would be useful for me. Can this be done? I see this option in many of the other apps I use, and have been told it is "not difficult". I have contributed $5.00 to help such a project start,...

Will "VLC Media Player 2.0.5 Twoflower" play downloaded Blu-Ray files at 100% fidelity, without having a Blu-Ray disk player installed?

Well, over a week and no decent reply to my download redirection question.

Maybe I should consider making my $5.00 contributions *after* a reasonable answer occurs.

Yes, I use IE for everything.

However, if this task is impossible with IE, a reference to some other browser which will do this would be appreciated.

Just posted you a $5 donation. I'm a VLC newbie, and run Windows 7x64 with MS Outlook 2010 and IE9. I want to bypass VLC media player when downloading some mp3/mp4 files, so that they are downloaded to my Downloads folder, and not to my "Temporary Internet Files" folder, where I cannot acc...

Hi. I run Win7x64 Home Premium with IE9. There is a popular US radio news podcast called "The Dianne Rehm Show". I subscribe to this feed, and their instruction for playing archived shows is to copy each one's link into my MP3 player from the webpage. So I right-click the link and select &...

What is the "swf component?"

Hi. Looks like its time for me to make another $ contribution. :D Among other video websites, I found most of the short videos I want to play in VLC 2.0 are on Reuters News' website, www.reuters.com/video . The sound is so faint that channeling these videos into VLC's 200% sound level would be a rea...

Greasemonkey is a Firefox add-on. I use Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0 (IE9). Can you recommend an IE9 add-on? Or, if not, can you give me a list of Google search words which would help me find one, if it exists?

A radio news program I like has the following URL for today's news: "http://thedianerehmshow.org/audio-player?nid=15460". When I click "listen" on the webpage, Windows Media Player is automatically launched to play this. Is there a way I can get such URLs to automatically play on...

That's OK. Being in the holiday spirit, I sent you a contribution anyway.

Happy Holidays,

Hi VideoLAN, I'm prepared to make a contribution to your projects, but in the United States (USA) I can deduct the contribution (income tax deduction) ONLY if VideoLAN is a registered Non-Profit or Charity. I searched our IRS (Internal Revenue Service) Publication, " Publication 78, Cumulative ...

I can easily copy/paste .MP3 and .MP4v URLs one-at-a-time into "vlc.exe > Open Media > Network" in the URL text box, and both audio and video work splendidly. Is there a way to create a file of URLs which vlc.exe can just "read" so I don't have to keep pasting them one-by-one as ...

Thanks for your observation. I associated .MP3 with vlc.exe and everything now works, though not as rapidly as with Windows Media Player, as VLC first downloads the entire .MP3 file before it starts playing it. For me this can be a long wait, as I use a DSL Internet connection. Is there a VLC settin...

Hi. I'm a VLC newbie, and run Windows 7x64 with MS Outlook 2007 and IE9. In Outlook 2007 I have a list of audio RSS feeds which I had to click only once to open Windows Media Player in .mp3 streaming mode. But the sound was not loud enough to listen to newscasts. So I associated .mp3 files with my n...
