Oh you thought devs actually came here to listen to their users..

would only need to keep a list of filenames with position/timestamps when the file is closed and check if the name is on the list when opening a file. Could also use the recent items list for that it doesnt need to remember every file ever played..

I did some testing using Big buck bunny (mirror.bigbuckbunny.de/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/big_buck_bunny_480p_stereo.avi) and winrar: zip - plays zip & password - name appears in vlc nothing else happens (plays when opening zip in explorer and then opening file there(pw entered in explorer)) rar...

Ohw wow that is a bug. The menu item should just never be disabled. It's probably just removing one line in the code somewhere, but you'd need someone to actually change it.

Video -> Always on top

Well, it's a community project ,(most) devs don't get payed. There is sadly also a tendency to say: if you want it do it yourself. Which effectively means, learn how to code, learn how things are done in VLC, code it and then hope it gets accepted. Obviously in-feasibly for a user already taking the...

no problem

Btw you can find all version of VLC here:

Yeah.. a lot of people need this. The answer we got from the devs is basically: This functionality was original meant to solve something else. The something else has now been solved differently, thus the functionality is removed. That the functionality is useful in many other cases is not of interes...

As mentioned before, VLC already supports playback of archieves and parts, however to my knowledge it does not support password protected archives. Given that most media downloaded with JDownloader is password protected I think that is where the problem is. Is that correct? So it would for this purp...

hm.. i want to let you know detailted.
can you help to finde a translater?
i want to support in german (detailed!!!)

Posting in English is not obligatory, so maybe it's best if you post it in German here.

What do you mean far from ideal? It was good and working not only for VLC, but other opened windows too!

Nothing against NiftyWindows, I just think VLC should support it without the need for additional software.

As far as I know VLC indeed can do that. However maybe there is a similar regression as was fixed here : https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=102664&p=347548&hilit=rar+part#p347548 There the .001 .002 files no longer worked. In the link where Spongshga refers to (https://forum....

No-one is asking for the removal of the current audio device selector. Only for the addition of the old menu items. As is depicted in this image where they are BOTH present!

The case of stereo mode has been explained in this very same thread. It was renamed but otherwise unchanged. As for the audio device, the old behaviour was clearly a bug inherited from ALSA/OSS and the times where computers had at most one logical audio output. A device is not a channel map and a c...

You can override the physical channel mapping in the VLC preferences, but setting it in the Windows configuration panel is far better. The thing is that you want to be able to do that on the fly. Sometimes the 5.1 audio streams in a video are created very badly in which case stereo audio often soun...

Maybe this can help you.

I don't know which of those scripts works best, but it should be possible to send spacebar key strokes events to all windows simultaneously using AHK.

Preferences (simple) -> Interface -> Playlist and Instances -> Pause on the last frame of a video

It's basically on the first page of preferences.

Ah you can click the status bar! I didn't know that, that's useful :) No I can change the speed with only my mouse easily for when my keyboard is out of range. Thanks! Though it doesn't snap back to 1x speed when dragging the slider. it keeps jumping between 0.96 and 1.04. Needed to use the double a...

"If it ain't broke, make it go faster!" Btw. that functionality is also accessible through the menu bar and the right-mouse-button context menu : "Playback -> Speed -> Faster/Slower/etc" So I don't know what has changed or just moved, but the current layout seems logical to me.

For me the "[" and "]" keys still work, as does the Playback>Speed>... menu

I have no idea where or what "[and]" keys is.

What you write is different than what i wrote, but I meant the square bracket keys. Is that what you were looking for?

For me the "[" and "]" keys still work, as does the Playback>Speed>... menu

Thanks! That would be great!

NiftyWindows based on AutoHotkey works for VLC: right mouse button & drag the centre of the video window.

That is far from an ideal solution. It should just be possible to drag the VLC window by the video screen natively. Would be very useful for touch users.

I completely agree.
'Add Subtitle File' and 'Disable' can be at the top and the list of subtitles directly below them.
