Keyboard controls for graphic EQ?

Got a new laptop today.

Installed VLC - and now need to change the graphic EQ.

The laptop does not have a mouse.

How do I adjust the graphic EQ sliders with the keyboard?

Re: Playing stream in VLC?

Hmmm...you could be right about that. I went back and grabbed the URL again just in case I hadn't grabbed the whole thing or something...and it's slightly different...I've posted the first part of both for comparison... https://stream-1-1-ip6.loadshare.org/slice/7/VideoID-RC2kU154/TvnZqF/elOIIP/xLbk...

Re: Playing stream in VLC?

I got the URL from the webpage by...(Firefox)

Padlock to the left of URL bar -> Connection secure -> More information -> Media

...then copied the video URL.

Have I done that part wrong?

Playing stream in VLC?

I would like to play a video stream in VLC, but, it seems there is a problem with the URL. Guessing the URL needs to be stripped? If not, what do I need to do (I generally know how to do this, eg for Youtube). URL is : https://stream-1-1-ip6.loadshare.org/slice/7/VideoID-RC2kU154/TvnZqF/elOIIP/xLbkj...

Re: Sound all wrong

Ok, so, what would you say to me if I was using a current VLC version? I could at least see if the same thing works in 2.0.1.

I am trying to watch the new Twilight Zone series, currently on the telly on Monday nights.

Re: Error when I try to play one specific album

Oh, ok...there's a limit on the amount of characters? I'm guessing that the lengthy album title has pushed it over in that case. If that is the case, I'm surprised this doesn't happen frequently. Thanks, I'll try clipping it. I can do this easy enough, but, is there any way of doing so, but, keeping...

Error when I try to play one specific album

I am getting errors when I try to play one specific album. All other albums play absolutely fine, but, one simply refuses to play. If I navigate to the individual tracks and click on them, they play without any problems, but, right clicking on the album itself (my usual method) and clicking on "...

VLC 2.0.4 - Please add option to keep playing in MONO mode

I am using VLC 2.0.4 for the - essential to me - option of MONO playback. From the menu : Audio -> Audio device -> choice between mono and stereo. If I'm listening to a CD and select mono, as soon as the next track starts, it reverts back to stereo. Can a patch be made so that the users choice of ou...

Re: bring back mono mode in audio please

VLC 2.0.4 is the last version that had genuine - and very good - mono playback. From the pull down menus : AUDIO -> AUDIO DEVICE -> choice between Mono and Stereo. I have downgraded to this version as mono payback is ESSENTIAL to me. For two reasons. 1. From birth, I have perforrated eardrums in bot...

Re: any VLC tricks for low power CPU?

Just seen this thread...haven't tried any of the alternatives as yet, but, I do get the occasional video that gets jumpy.

CPU jumps to 100% on certain videos

Most videos work fine, but, the odd one cause the CPU to jump to 100% - and stick there...along with slightly jumpy playback (audio is fine). The latest one is as follows : File type : FLV File Length : 45 Minutes Size : 836 MB Would reducing the playback quality make it play smoothly? If so, how do...

VLC ignoring my user set preference - MONO PLAYBACK [VLC 2.0.4]

How do I keep the playback in MONO? I set the playback to mono - and as soon as the next track starts, it reverts back to stereo. Fed up of resetting it. How do I get VLC to remember the mono setting?
