How to hotkey "Always on top"

Hi folks, I'm not seeing "Always on top" action in the hotkey settings. Is there no way to hotkey that action? Maybe some addon or something else? It's kind of weird to have to use menus to toggle Always on top, when I keep the menus hidden most of the time, and I try to navigate windows q...

Re: VLC 3.0.4 poor performance with H.265 mkv

damn, so many topics on this. It seems the VLC team have their work cut out for them. It can't be easy to stay ahead all the time.

I'm done with VLC for now. MPC handles x265 much better.

Re: VLC 3.0.4 poor performance with H.265 mkv

Can you post the full verbose log of video playback ? My rendering was set to automatic by default. I tried changing to d3d9 and d3d11 but it didn't affect the performance. In the log below I noticed that whenever there was a noticeable micro freeze in the video, it created a group of 3 warning lin...

Hi, do you use d3d11 or d3d9 renderer ?
I use default settings, whatever they are.

VLC 3.0.4 poor performance with H.265 mkv

Win 7 x64, 4790K, GTX 980 Frequent micro-stutters during playback, CPU usage is about 25%. During fastforwad / rewind, CPU jumps to 60-70%, and every jump takes a few second before playback resumes. That's horrible, and not what I am used to with H.264. MPC-HC, on the other hand, plays H.265 MUCH sm...

Black levels and washed out colors (Nvidia GPU)

I've been using VLC for years, and I JUST realized I've been watching it with the wrong setting. I've always suspected some issue either with my monitor settings or video card (Nvidia), but I never thought the issue was limited to VLC only. I finally realized it had to be VLC when I took some snapsh...

Re: VLC runs on integrated graphics, not on Nvidia GPU

You can attempt to use Nvidia Inspector 1.9.x to edit the vlc profile in the nvidia driver What may be better is to rename vlc.exe,( i simply used 'vlc-test, as in - "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc-test.exe" ), then you can add the new name & profile thru nvidia-settings > Ma...

Re: VLC runs on integrated graphics, not on Nvidia GPU

For video output, it should not impact anyway.
Actually it makes a big difference for HD movies. The Intel graphics can't play HD well. There is a noticeable lag.
I just don't understand why the option for VLC and WMP in Nvidia Control Panel is greyed out.

VLC runs on integrated graphics, not on Nvidia GPU

I have two GPUs on my laptop - GTX 680M and intel HD 4000. So the whole Nvidia Optimus technology sounds cool but it doesn't work cuz it doesn't let me choose a GPU for basic programs like VLC and Windows Media Player. I cannot choose the Nvidia GPU for VLC because the option is greyed out in Nvidia...
