Which is the latest vlc that will run under kubuntu 14.04?
Thanks

When I stream using VLC do I need to use my IP address and port number?

Are there any test streams that I can use to check the functionality of VLC?

A couple of questions:

Should I be able to stream TV programmes that have html extensions?

How can I identify TV streams, and especially their extensions?

Thanks

PS. Tips for using VLC (2.2.2), under kubuntu (14.04) welcome

Thanks for responding Evidently some users of my OS (kubuntu) can stream videos from youtube using the same version of vlc (2.2.2) that I have. However, they have more up to date OS's (ver 16 vs my ver 14). Can you suggest how I can stream youtube videos using vlc? I note that I do not have youtube....

I see the youtube.lua file, but I am not sure what to do

UPDATE:

Hi,

I cannot stream Youtube videos with VLC.

I note errors.

I have looked at the folder: /usr/lib/vlc/playlist and note that I have youtube.luac, but not youtube.lua. Is this the source of my problem?

If so, where can I get the file? It is not in the kubuntu repo.

Thanks.

Hello,

Hello,

I am trying to get the VLC logfile to work.
In Tools-Preference-All-Logging
I have created a log file name, but when I Stream from a website and receive errors, the logile is empty.

Can anyone advise.

Thanks

VLC 2.2.2 (under kubuntu)

I don't know where the logfile is located

Would https cause an error?

Why is the link referred to as MRL and not URL?

Can I investigate the source of the error?

Thanks

I am getting the message: VLC Stream Input Cannot be Opened.

Is this because the URL is https? If so, is there a solution?

I also note that the MRL is https://www........

Surely it should be URL, URI?

Thanks

I use online tv (streamed), but have buffering problems.

Someone suggested using vlc to avoid the browser problems.

I pasted a video stream into vlc, under streaming, and received errors.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Sometimes, I would like to capture and save some stream that occur in webpages.

Can someone tell me the easiest way of using VLC to achieve this, and, in particular, how I can avoid the recording of adverts that may accompany the streams?

Thanks

'forget about any skins resource file'. Can you clarify this point?

I do not have a skins folder in vlc, i.e.
~/.local/share/vlc/skins2

Should I make skins2?

Or, should I create a skins resource file, presumably a folder, in the home directory?

or both

The question is: 'Do I need to make a folder in vlc titled skins?'

How can I create or download a palate for vlc 2.2.2 under kubuntu?

Thanks

If you are using qt5ct did you need to create a custom palette for vlc?

I do not have a skins folder in vlc, i.e.
~/.local/share/vlc/skins2

Should I make skins2?

Or, should I create a skins resource file, presumably a folder, in the home directory?

Can't see an upload link, I'll try and paste. That did not work.

How can I attach the files?

I have installed vlc using a PPA.

The player seems essentially black with white lettering.

The are no credits, licence, or author information and no reference to version.

Does this sound correct

The player works well, as far as I can tell

I have downloaded a skin.

I have no skins folder in /home/.local/share/vlc

Do I need to make a folder in vlc titled skins?

what does.vit mean

Thanks.

Ho do users typically update vlc

It would be easier to simply install the latest version.
