Yes, that was the first thread I checked out.. Unfortunately, my experience doesn't match that glitch.
Ithere doesn't seem to be anything I can do to get it to appear at all...
I can no longer raise or activate or bring into view the full screen control interface. The keyboard shortcut to activate it doesn't work, neither does adjusting playback with keyboard shortcuts. Resetting the preferences to defaults did not resolve the issue. Has anyone else experienced this behavi...
The settings (under video & audio subsections): Save playback speed These should be renamed "Keep playback speed"! There used to actually be a setting which would truly save & recall altered playback speeds for any file which was quite a nice & convenient feature! It would make...
This is nothing new, nor device specific! This infuriating behavior has been plaguing the Android version on every device I've owned for at least the last 5 years... I can't believe there aren't more complaints about this! This has got to be one of the more frustrating behaviors of any media player ...
Try the stuff out - otherwise you will never know that it might be already fixed a long time ago. :-) Thank you so much for the sound advise! And for your excellent, detailed assistance. It is greatly appreciated. Well, please be more precise: What columns do you want to show? In what order? What i...
I can not give you a definitive answer on that, but my advice is to use an OS native feature (like screen mirroring) if feasible. I have done so as needed in the past with success. It is a bit of an annoyance to turn it on and get it set up right, but it works. Whenever possible I always seek soluti...
is there a way to issue 2 commands to VLC while the app is playing but not in focus (its is not active app but running in background) VERY SHORT BACKWARDS JUMP VERY SHORT FORWARD JUMP ... The short, concise answer to this question is: Yes! There is a way! tell application "VLC" to step ba...
Well, based on the error message and since you can't manually add the file to the playlist and play it... it sounds like VLC doesn't recognize and/or can not play that type of file. I'm not familiar with the file type so I can't say for sure, but that probably means that it is not a very common medi...
Actually, VLC has its own Applescript dictionary! Which means you really can control VLC in the background using Applescript! If you open up the Applescript editor and type {command + shift} L, the Library window will open or come to the front. Double click on VLC in that list and a new window will ...
The ability to control VLC on a Mac using Applescript is fantastic! I was very pleasantly surprised to discover this feature (which seems under-advertised IMHO). It is extremely useful and essentially adds the possibility of adding "global hotkeys" for the scriptable controls. My request i...
1st of all: YES, please!!! on this feature @Rambo: I empathize with your frustrations & sentiments! Here are a couple things to consider & keep in mind (if you're not already doing so)... Everyone who contributes to this software as developers do so for free & because they want/choose to...
Awesome! Thank you so much!! I should have explained myself a bit more thoroughly. I was under the impression that the "Reset" button in the prefs panel didn't work in OSX (kind of like the "Play & Quit" setting). Someone told me that it was broken & that I had to do it m...
Since updating to 2.2.1 the behavior of the playlist window has become excruciatingly annoying & absurd . Resetting the settings did not solve the problem. The width of the columns in the playlist window are not saved/remembered upon quitting & relaunching VLC- there is nothing new here (alt...
I've been wishing such a feature existed- a shortcut to toggle the display of the "Time", as well as a way of cycling through the various ways of showing that. (Elapsed/Remaining/Total)
But since there is no such shortcut to customize in the prefs- the command must not exist.
Hi what means ~ ? Hi Rolf, Two things: First of all, your question isn't even really about VLC- it's a very basic question about using a computer. Second, the purpose of your question doesn't belong in this thread because adding BR support as you're trying to do doesn't have anything to do with the...
This issue is actually specific to Windows platform only. It's been going on for quite a while now- and although it was claimed to be fixed it doesn't work for me (technically it's not that it's 'broken' but that it has been removed from the Windows version). A work around has been proposed but it ...
when it opens to default it's always my 2nd display. That's weird and frustrating! I wish we could switch! Because mine always defaults back to my primary- but that is where I NEVER want it to play! I have 5 displays hooked up to my computer and it will ONLY open & begin playback on the one mon...
Does anyone know how to do this easier? Thanks :( Have you tried the global Windows 7 shortcuts/hotkeys? [WINDOWS key] + [SHIFT] + left or right arrow keys... Hints: Make sure the window/screen is active (click somewhere on the playing video to make it active). For some mysterious reason this hotke...
So, at least I have finally managed to get the video to go to the display I want it to automatically. BUT it only works if I force VLC to use DirectX as the output engine (the default for Windows Vista & above is Direct3D). That wouldn't be a problem if DirectX video output were compatible with ...
Jon, To have all your controls on 1 screen and just the video on an external monitor, try v. 2.1.3 with DirectX where you can select the DISPLAY number: The problem with this solution is using DirectX with Windows 7. Windows 7 doesn't really seem to like DirectX- or at least aero doesn't like Direc...
Ha! I wish I had that problem! I have the opposite problem... VLC ALWAYS begins playback of EVERY video on my main display, then I have to use Windows hotkeys to move that window to my TV which is hooked up as an addition monitor. This is on a brand new installation of VLC on a fresh installation of...
I've seen that indeed the settings options have been restored in 2.1.3, but for some reason I am unable to get the settings to affect any change. The fullscreen video output always defaults to my primary monitor upon launch (yet the settings are still set to the behavior I prefer). This is true on a...
@kimh Wow, that's intense! I haven't ended up using an Nvidia GPU for at least 5+ yrs so I wasn't aware of those rather fundamental differences in the way that the GPU handles video rendering & monitor ID... But if I'm not mistaken it sounds like you have figured out that your GPU and its drive...
oh ok.. so I guess they'll be no milkdrop :'( I had the same idea when Milkdrop 2 finally went open source. Unfortunately Milkdrop requires (it's actually totally based on) Microsoft's Direct X which only runs on Windows (it has been utilized with varying degrees of success on Linux based systems a...
It's a shame & disappointing that this extremely useful feature has so mysteriously disappeared- but ONLY from the Windows release... The code for the feature is surely still a part of original source because it still works on OSX (and presumably linux). Perhaps if I build it myself from the sou...
