The VideoLAN Forums

I just found an alternative program for tvOS (Infuse) that does all I need with a nice user interface, so disregard my question. Regardless, VLC and the iOS/tvOS are impressive software. Kudos to the makers and their efforts, especially since it's all for free! (And I've donated to VLC in the past f...

I have an ever-growing library of video file in one large folder on my NAS. To view these vids, I used to use "Air Video HD Server" on a Mac, and the "Air Video HD" app on my AppleTV device. That worked well for many years, until the tvOS 15.3 update broke something, and now the ...

@mederi, in general, Lua extensions work on OSX. When I run your sampler on OSX (VLC 2.0.5), it crashes unless I remove the call to "create_dialog". I wonder if I should look into extending the OSX UI directly, adding a new "recently played" list item, that includes remembering t...

While the extension, once manually activated, does write the current play time regularly, it needs to be re-activated for every newly opened file, it appears.

mederi, thanks for the pointer to the extension. Now I've only got to figure out where to place lua extensions so that they won't get replaced when installing an update of VLC (on OSX)... However, your pointer to the Interface customization isn't helpful. I had looked there before my post, and could...

It would be great if there was an option to have VLC remember the last played position so that it continues there when the app was (accidentally) quit or its window was closed and then reopened. Prev/Next buttons in the window: I liked it better in VLC v1 where clicking the << and >> buttons around...

I've been a long time and quite happy user of VideoLAN, as it's always been great for watching movies with its many options and support for many video formats. Now I have a set of features requests that apply foremost to the UI on OS X (applies to v2.0.1): 1. The << and >> buttons next to the (>) bu...
