I've been using VLC for over 15 years and never had issues playing movies, but within the past maybe 6 months I'm running into problems where at random times during a movie, the video and audio will glitch out at the same time, causing me to have to close and reopen it, which fixes the problem for t...

I never did a proper answer for this question and I still am needing to find where I can do this. Any help is appreciated.

Greetings folks: https://i.imgur.com/kJTs9BE.jpg I would like to remove items from the left Sidebar I don't use. I've already found how to remove the items under the 'Internet' subsection by right clicking on VLC, choosing 'Show Package Contents', then navigating to Contents > MacOS > share > lua: h...

Jean, I know that being someone who regularly uses and troubleshoots VLC that you know where these things are, but for the end user, we don't. So when you say to do something, you need to provide the steps in order to accomplish this. For example, "look in the logs". Where are the logs? I ...

Preferneces -> All -> Playlist -> Default stream. And put the URL of the folder there. Did that, restarted VLC, and all I get is (null) in playlist and "Connection failed, VLC could not connect to ":554"." and "Your input can't be opened. VLC is unable to open the MRL '/Use...

Okay, and HOW is this done then?

It would be appreciated if it was explained exactly where in preferences, as the current answer just leaves the user wondering WHERE in preferences, and no closer to an answer. I would GUESS in the hotkey section, but there's only one option for Repeat in there, and it's not the one I'm looking for:...

Hello, where do I need to go to ADD a hotkey for Repeat One (there is none by default), and edit the current Repeat All hotkey?

I have a really simple thing I'd like to do with VLC that I can't seem to find the way to do it: I want to set up a playlist that is linked specific folder that I put music where if I add or remove stuff in that folder, it will update in the main VLC playlist when I open VLC. Right now I have to man...

I'm on a Mac and I do not want this stuff. Developers please tell us how these can be removed.

Sorry to bump an old topic, but since I was the original poster I thought it was okay.

So, how can this be done on OSX? Example: I record a radio show every morning to a folder. I want to set VLC so when it's opened, it's playlist loads whatever is in that folder.

I use Audio Hijack Pro to create audio files of a radio show I record. However, for whatever reason, VLC will not play them, even though every other audio program I have has no issues. I can drag the files onto VLC's playlist, and for a split second you can see the time bar go really fast across the...

Create a desktop shortcut icon of your VLC. Then edit VLC path in its properties (mouse right-click on the shortcut icon) and simply add a desired path of your folder with multimedia files. Works fine for me on Windows XP - with or without the last backslash in the path. THANK YOU! That did the tri...

Where?

Anyone?

I tried this: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "C:\Users\USER\Desktop\Audio\" It opened VLC but got this message: File reading failed: VLC could not open the file "C:\Users\USER\Desktop\Audio"". (%m) Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL ...

Sorry but what do I do what that exactly? Is that something I put in VLC?
