Bumping again. Same problem going on 3 years with no resolution. VLC "searches" for subtitles and I see the green bar go from left to right all the way. Then it just stops, Does NOT display the subtitles. As if it's searching forever, instead of taking 3 seconds like it does on my other de...

Hi, Just a general question about the differences between Search by Hash and Search by Name? Searching for the name of a file, is a gimme, but even after researching this, I still don't know what a hash is and how subtitles are found by Search by Hash. Is there an article that explains this simply, ...

Bumping this, because so many of us still face the same issue!

Mine is v 3.0.16. I'm using Windows 10, and the reset preferences did not work. When I click View---VLSub, the regular search appears. the title is typically auto-populated, and I click either Search by Hash or Search by Name. neither works. The green bar moves across the screen and (usually) all th...

Thanks, Hitchhiker. The baffling thing to me is that this issue just started, plus it's on only ONE of my PCs, I was certain that a full uninstall and re-download would work, but nope.

So the other night, I tried downloading subtitles as usual. The green "searching subtitles" bar filled up the screen and then nothing happened. Usually at this point, the search is complete and the found subtitles appear. But now the full green bar just stays there. There is no "No su...

Bump. Anyone?

Hi, I have all the Star Trek episodes in a Star Trek playlist. When I open VLC on my ipad, all the episodes appear in the main Videos list. I don't want to see all the episodes in that main list. I ONLY want to see them after I tap the playlist. I move them into the playlist, and they are in the pla...

Hi, I often find exact subtitles, but the timing is off. I know how to adjust using TOOLS>Track Synchronization. But this requires extreme details, down to the tenth of a second. I can usually guesstimate, and the synching lines up correctly for a short time, but then it gets un-synched again. Is th...

Same issues with me. I have about 200 videos in my “main” folder, which displays all of them at once. I put them into different playlists (which are like the former folders we all loved). But now they appear in both places. They are properly in the right playlists, but they also clog up all the room...

Same exact problem for me, except sometimes (like today) the Search window never opened. main debug: auto hiding mouse cursor main debug: auto hiding mouse cursor qt debug: activating or triggering extension 'VLsub 0.10.2' lua debug: Reactivating extension VLsub 0.10.2 lua debug: [VLsub] Welcome lua...

Bump? No one else has encountered this?

I recently uploaded VL Sub, and I am now encountering an error that is not the common "Extension does not respond" issue. I can search for the subtitles, select the subtitles for download, and then click Download Selection. So far, so good. The green downloading bar fills up, and typically...

He means up in the toolbar, you first select VIEW. One of the options there is STATUS BAR. Once you click that STATUS BAR menu item, the bar appears on the bottom.

LOL, I "THOUGHT" I had explored every possible preference and menu item, but I missed the most obvious. I appreciate your help. Thank you so much!

Hello, I've used VLC 1.1.7 for a while and have always adjusted the Speed Playback by using the SLIDE BAR in the bottom right corner, just next to the timestamp. I recently download 2.0 for another computer, and the slider bar is not there. I can control the speed through Playback>Faster/Slower, but...
