Re: Running from systray icon

...there is an option to do this under Advanced Preferences -> Interface -> Main Interfaces ->... Thanks - these options work really well, with a skin or without. It's only the 'minimise to tray' operation that would complement the feature. It would make it easier for us to use both with mouse and ...

Re: MP4 Video & audio lost after angle change & Save Metadata

Thank you for the tip. We have tried the utility but without success. We tested Recover MP4 using a working/reference clip plus a copy of it in which to change the angle & metadata. Unfortunately the header transfer from reference to copy doesn't yield any useable result. As far as we can tell t...

Re: MP4 Video & audio lost after angle change & Save Metadata

Thank you for responding.
It really depends how the tool involved broke it...
This is really the question. Is there anyway to determine what has taken place (even if with another tool)?

MP4 Video & audio lost after angle change & Save Metadata

We have managed to bork an MP4 video after saving it with new metadata and while the angle transform geometry was applied. The file still 'plays' with VLC reporting that there are H264 video & AAC audio streams present but with nothing of either being displayed in the statistics. Other players e...

Thanks for looking over this.

Re: Running from systray icon

We use a couple of pieces of software that work this way:- GUI Ping Monitor: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gui-ping-monitor MyPhoneExplorer: https://www.fjsoft.at The first one is open source so may provide some pointers for inclusion with VLC. We would find this capability very helpful, in parti...

Running from systray icon

This is a two part question:- First, is there a way to run VLC solely from the systray without showing it on the taskbar? We have disabled the "Show VLC on the taskbar" option but this does not appear to have any effect even after closing/restarting. Second, is there a way to minimise VLC ...

Re: Flickering Green When Playing DVDs

Turning Video/Deinterlace from automatic to off fixes the flickering green for me, so far... Switching-off the deinterlacing works for us too but setting to Direct3D9 had no effect (so is left to AUTO). The strange thing is that the issue has only just materialised for us but on only one of our two...

Re: Using libdvdcss with VLC

Thanks for answering our question.

It was prompted by problems playing back DVDs but it transpires we were barking up the wrong tree and have this issue instead:-

Re: [Win7 64] Hide VLC in Taskbar

Click on the icon to do so.
Maybe an additional option in the preferences would help? Perhaps something like "X minimise to tray" would make it more clear?

Just a thought. :?:

Thanks.

Re: VLC Android to Roku?

It's not currently done but might be considered for the future. Thanks for the post. We too would like play our songs & videos etc. to our 'plain old' DLNA TV from our Droid tablet. So we now ask: has this feature/capability been considered as such? If so, where should we be looking for a progr...

Re: Christian symbol in VLC player - how remove?

You're complaining about the red hat on the VLC cone? You know, the red hat like a Playboy centerfold might wear in a holiday photoshoot? Yeah, that's a real oppressive religious symbol.

Amen to that!

Hide taskbar icon option from systray icon.

Can this mode be settable by default, i.e. to run VLC solely from the the systray; whether it be either in via user preferences or via a command line option? Or alternatively, when run from the taskbar, can the behaviour of the close button/Alt-F4 be modified so that it minimises instead? Thanks for...

Mozilla plugin won't associate with Quicktime .MOV

The VLC plugin for Mozilla doesn't appear to associate itself with Quicktime .mov files therefore meaning that it won't handle the content. Have tried changing things using facilities such as about:config, about:plugins and file type associations in VLC itself - but to no avail. Is this correct beha...

Not sure if this has been covered before (have looked around), perhaps with a different internet radio station but one of my favourites has just been 'pulled': http://aac.popsicle.groovera.com:80/ This played ok in the past but now greets with a 'media player no longer supported' message. Is there a...
