The VideoLAN Forums

Is there really no one but me interested in this feature?
Or is there already a way to do this of which I am not aware?

I would like to use multiple instances of VLC, yet still be able open certain media files in an existing instance instead of a new one. In my case I am using windows 7 64 bit but I am quite sure this also applies to many other OSes. Example: I have 2 folders, each containing a couple of mp3 files. I...

Hi, When I use Internet Explorer 11 to open a url pointing to a weblink, I like that video to play. I have used quicktime player in the past, which simply played the file right away inside my browser window. I suppose VLC should have simulair functionality. I have the ActiveX element installed. Howe...

It would be great if streaming to TV over LAN or WLAN would be easy in general. Unfortunately most TVs still make things difficult. I bet it's already possible for me with the TV I have, but it would take quite some effort to learn how to do it.

VLC usually releases a new version on their web site well before it appears it the updater, so it may still be within that time period

Why?
And how long?

^THANKS

ಠ_ಠ

I must have been half asleep when I started this topic. My apologies, looking at the Developer section makes perfect sense.
Thank you scheperell.

Or maybe no one cares anymore because everyone is working on VLC 3.0

I have seen many issues being reported, but not many solutions. It is frustrating to watch, so many people with valid issues or ideas, but no one available to do the job. It makes me wish I could do it myself, exercise that desire to solve the issue, spend that free time helping others and gaining e...

If only the people were faster and more reactive too...

;p

I just checked the website to make sure it hasn't happened to me again. Turns out my 2.1.5 should have updated to 2.2.0. THIS IS A REOCCURING BUG. Admin please move this treat to the bug report section and let's have this issue solved asap! *** since this appears to be an actual bug here is my infor...

This forum has so little activity, it could be argued it is dead! This is the official forum for VLC media player right? So where are the people in charge of bringing out new updates? The developers solving the bugs and issues we report on this forum? Is it still worth my effort to voice my experien...

I had the same issue a while back. I uninstalled VLC and installed the latest version 'manually'.
I agree this issue, like many others, did not get the attention it should have had. If things like these go unnoticed, I wonder how long VLC will last.

Anyone else just had a giant Déjà vu?

Thanks drij, that picture made my day.

That would be the same as recording your screen while playing a YouTube video in your web browser. Goggle won't sue your recording software nor your web browser for it. the only have a problem with software that was made specifically for downloading video's, which usually goes at a much higher speed...

It's hard to do support. You receive more insutls than praises, to be honest. Same for writing about issues you found. I just spend an hour or more trying to write a comprehendible explanation of an issue I'm having, I just hope at least one person bothers to read it and nod his head in agreement. ...

There already is an option called "Enqueue items into playlist in one instance mode". The explanation on hovering it reads: "When using the one instance only option: enqueue items to playlist and keep playing current item". I would love to be able to "Enqueue items into play...

Most of the time no one even tries to help by asking clarification. "Could you elaborate on ...?" "could you go into more detail about ...?" "Have you tried ... ?" "What version of the OS are you using?" and so on. I sometimes find it rewarding to solve people...

I'm a fan of this concept!
I wish it was as easy to contribute to the source as it is to brush my teeth.

"Under construction"

We've been over this...

This shape can be used as a megaphone (speaking-trumpet) to broadcast (acoustic) signal, this is the purpose of the videolan project.

I'm out of ideas already.
How exactly do you set the brightness? I didn't even know the PC can control the screen settings in any way. Or is this brightness setting in windows itself? Or are we talking about a laptop instead of a desktop PC?

I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be able to solve this one.

GREAT IDEA! I don't need it myself, but just reading this makes me wonder why we don't have this option yet. In a movie you would probably miss a second or 2 as the pause isn't immediate, but especially on live music, or playlists, this would be a useful function. Here comes the hardest part: findin...

"VLC media player for Windows Troubleshooting" Nice place for questions, but not if you're looking for answers. Although some questions are being answered, most, including some incredibly simple ones, don't get a single reply. (sometimes the creator bumps it) Of course it kind of was to be...

Wrong again.

Or so he sais

Alright than Jean, give us this hint:
Does the story have something to do with traffic, or rather with the 'cone' shape?

Your issue isn't clear to me. Can you tell us what exactly does or does not happen when you try certain things? It sounds like you did everything right. You should have an option to associate file extensions when you install VLC. Later you can associate file extensions using the control panel in win...
