When screen is maximized (not full screen), it should remember which monitor it was maximized on

["Bug"/Feature Request] Currently, when using a dual monitor, if I maximize a screen on a lower resolution monitor and close it, it will remember that the screen is maximized (as it should, due to one of the options that preserve the window size, which is maximized in this case). However, ...

Re: Windows Explorer sees Chinese characters, VLC does not.

I googled what that means and I'm not really sure. Am I supposed to find an ID3 tag editor?

Broken or Missing AVI Index

I used used SolveigMM Video Splitter to trim an AVI file. After trimming the file, it prompts the message "Broken or Missing AVI Index." The file appears to play fine, but the message concerns me. How can I fix it so that this message doesn't pop up? Thanks.

Windows Explorer sees Chinese characters, VLC does not.

http://i.imgur.com/1FRhhJ1.png Windows Explorer sees Chinese characters, VLC does not. How can I get VLC to see the chinese characters? On a unrelated note, how can I edit file tags (I think that's what you call them) so that the name shown on Windows Explorer is exactly the same as the one VLC disp...

Opening audio queue playlist, video open multiple windows?

Is there a way to make it so that opening audio files will queue them in a playlist and opening video files will enable opening separate windows for each video? If I disable "one instance of VLC" to satisfy multiple windows for videos, I would have to manually open and close every audio fi...

Re: Opening video file shows wrong name of file

I thought VLC was supposed to simply display the file name. How do I go about changing the file tag so that VLC displays the intended video file name?

Shows funky video file name instead of Chinese

On the player, the name of the video is in funky characters instead of Chinese. Chinese shows up in Windows Explorer, however. How can I fix this?

Opening video file shows wrong name of file

I renamed a video file because there's a typo, but when I open the the video file, the title that is displayed for the first 3 seconds is still the old video file name with the typo, not matching the new video file name. How can I fix this? Same thing seems to apply to music files because the title ...

Moving to different points of an FLV video 2-3 delay

When I use the Time Toolbar to access different points of (it seems all) FLV videos (not high quality--all downloaded from Youtube, so not very computer-intensive), it will have a 2-3 second delay before it loads that point of the video. I think it has something to do with the codec, but I don't kno...

When VLC is open (on your screen) and you highlight the VLC bar on the taskbar, it shows a live mini-player. However, when VLC is minimized and you highlight the VLC bar on the taskbar, it shows only a frozen thumbnail, even when the video is still playing while minimized. Is this a bug, is it inten...
