1. Looking into playing videos at a certain timestamp, I was advised that a commandline option might do the trick. But I've spent the last hour searching for VLC options that I can't find the answer to. Apparently a file (starting with a text file, maybe??) with a .vlc extension might work. Is that ...

It could be implemented for the YouTube case, but not in general. . Oh, erm, yes. Thank you. Yes, as mentioned, very easy to do that. So, is it _definite_ that VLC cannot be set to play from timestamps, please? I already do so from external databases to videos on YouTube (even Rumble) via either te...

. To give an analogy, I use a great bookmarking app to copy videos at timestamp points to play directly from those bookmarks at key/important marks. But that's the internet. Unfortunately, videos get pulled down all the time. I was hoping to be able to play downloaded videos at those same types of k...

Tools > Preferences > Show settings=All > Video \ Subtitles/OSD: Subtitle autodetection fuzziness Thank you! In all my searching, never came up with that, and this didn't help how to know what this autodetection fuzziness does, but using that in a new search, found this helpful information: 2020-04...

I'm coming back to this thread as there never was a response. I still have the same problem. It used to be that as long as a video's subtitle file had the exact same name, no other video would use that subtitle file. I don't have many srt files but the aggravating thing is that as long as there is a...

I don't have many subtitle files in SRT format, but I'm finding that VLC is playing the subtitle in a folder no matter which movie is playing. I keep having to take the subtitles off each time which has just been so annoying! How can we limit VLC to play subtitles that have the _exact_ name as the m...

VLC is great, no question. That is undisputable. But it has a very serious flaw. I've come back again and again periodically to this forum over the years to see if this problem has been fixed but, so far that I can see, no proper solution! To describe the issue, I'll give the example of my media pla...

Internet art isn't enabled on VLC for Android as of April 2014. Please send us the defective file. Oh, that's great that this is finally off by default!!! But rather than fix the issue, I'm thinking now that it's better to do a factory reset (?). Because I've been testing a lot of software searchin...

I've had my Android smartphone (Nexus 4) only a couple of weeks and I'm still very newb with it after being a BlackBerry user for many years. Fortunately, have tons of open source experience on PC to fall back on but it's a bit different on this phone; and I'm stuck on the album art problem that doe...

I think this is the right forum here to post this question ... if not, please direct me to which one ... I have been using the Native interface ever since I first found VLC a few years ago. And because of the customizations, for regular use, the Native interface is more than fine, it's great. But fo...
