The VideoLAN Forums

I have a home theater setup using an old TV without HDMI return, so movies on the computer go to a fairly new A/V amp via HDMI. The amp drives the speakers and feeds video to the TV. It took me some time to figure out why I couldn't control the volume of some movies with my mouse scroll wheel but co...

I'm tired of struggling through movie players that do tons of oddball things I don't need, are difficult to set up, and have out-of-date documentation. VLC just works, and the documentation and the forums are genuinely useful in solving problems. Does anyone know of a relatively simple database that...

A long-overdue fan letter. I've fooled around with apps like Kodi and OSMC and while I appreciate the concept of a "10-foot" view of my media library, there are just too many glitches and bugs workarounds and inconsistencies in the documentation to make such apps suitable for playing media...

An answer of "can't be done" wouldn't hurt my feelings, if that's the way it is.

There are several posts in the Mac and feature requests fora on this subject, but I haven't seen an answer to the following question: While watching movies, using the mouse to skip ahead or back gives me a skip of 2.5 minutes or so per click of the wheel. That's unwieldy if, as usually happens, I wa...
