I would like to request a feature to allow a separate queue window in addition to the main playlist, so that if a track is playing in the main playlist, I could throw another media file in the secondary queue. After the currently playing track in the main playlist is finished, VLC would check to see...

Again, NOYB... you are full of brilliant ideas... and I share your thoughts on this one. This would be an excellent feature! It makes sense that some playlist designers would want each track played in sequential order, and other playlists in shuffle. There are times when a DJ/VJ can't be there to tu...

I second this motion! This is a feature I want too! I can envision checkboxes next to each track that would signify that they are grouped together for consecutive playback, and when it finishes playing the last track in the group, it resumes shuffle. Brilliant idea! I hope the dev's consider this one!

Preferences-> Show All -> Video -> uncheck box "Show media title on video"

Save. Quit. Relaunch.

I've been looking for this feature too, but I don't think it is a built in feature yet. You might need to request it. I did find a way around it though. Just save the video you want to play as an m3u playlist. Then set the m3u file to open with VLC. You can then launch the playlist by whatever means...

Ok, I just d/l the latest nightly vlc-3.0.11.1-61609051 from 22OCT2020... I threw in the usual culprits of .mp4 files and began to play and skip through random files. Guess what? Not ONE single pop. I played the same files in 3.0.11.1 and the pops returned. You guys FIXED IT! YOU ppl are freaking AW...

Absolutely. I'll look for it tomorrow and test it out and let you know my findings.

Cheers...

Same issue here too with.m4v files that I generated from HB. Playlist can contain just 1 file or several files, it does not matter, it produces the same loud pop at the beginning of playback. Pop does not occur every instance of playback, only randomly, so I know the problem is not with the file its...

Also, check to see which interface you have selected... I had mine set for Console (cli), but if you try to launch it from the finder (with Console set as the interface), it will crash just like you described (open briefly for a second and then quit).

Well, Rémi, sources such as DVD do not contain the stubborn meta data that blu-ray discs contain, therefore mp4 transcodes of DVD titles only show up in the VLC playlist with the file name given to those titles. Therefore, it can be said that VLC is able to display file names in the abscence of meta...

Rémi, take for instance a blu-ray rip of a TV series made from MakeMKV, transcoded to mp4 with Handbrake. The resulting output file(s) will contain the metadata from the original blu-ray disc. Regardless of what the files are named, VLC will only display the metadata in the playlist. This metadata i...

Not sure. I experienced the same thing too, but I simply downloaded the latest 3.0.4 and it worked fine ever since on my Macbook running Mojave 10.14. I downloaded that version on October 30th 2018.

There is hope. Easy fix. First, see if you have the Repeat and Shuffle icons turned on in the bottom of your playlist window. If they are on (highlighted in blue), then turn them off by clicking on them until they turn grey. If you do not see any repeat or shuffle icons in your playlist window, you ...

I use a free program called Scheduler for Mac. You can create events to do whatever... so you can tell it to start up a playlist (m3u file) and tell it to use VLC as the default application, while setting the time and date you want the event to start. It is simply perfect for such a task.

There does not seem to be any advanced setting in Preferences to customize this feature. Interface->Main Interface->macos->Continue playback where you left off->Ask/Always/Never. Those are the only user options. Anything more and you would have to code it yourself or request it as a feature for a fu...

Logs are under the Window menu, Messages. When the Messages window appears, you will see three buttons in the upper left. Click the middle button to choose the location where you want to save the log file. You should have the Messages window open before you begin to play the file you are wanting to ...

As far as I know, VLC is not dynamic when it comes to playlists. In other words, once it has loaded the items from the folder into the playlist, it is static and does not change, even if you have deleted items from or added items to the source folder. It does not update unless you manually update it...

Hmm... that is an odd problem. What version of VLC are you using? Have you tried trashing your VLC preferences and starting over? Quit VLC Go to your user library folder and delete the two files below: ~Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc ~Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc.plist Restart VLC and ...

You should have the following preferences enabled: Preferences/Video/Fullscreen settings Start in fullscreen (box checked) Use the native fullscreen mode (box checked) Try simply using command-f for fullscreen mode, not control-command-f https://www.dropbox.com/s/o52itd93t5qepxv/Screen%20Shot%202018...

I’ve uploaded a few files to dropbox to help provide evidence of the stuttering I am seeing, with hopes that you can see it too, so that we can all agree that the issue exists and we can move forward with a fix action. The files contain a short clip (02:38) of a documentary on early 1930’s animation...

Here is the log when playing back the mp4 video file with frame rate of 29.98. When the stuttering occurs, there is no log activity going on at the same instance, so I think whatever visual artifacts/stuttering is occuring, it is happening at a point in VLC's pipeline that is beyond what the log can...

"not sure what you're seeing exactly." Thanks for your reply. What I am seeing is a micro-stutter that lasts for 1-3 seconds and occurs about every 15 seconds. This micro stutter does not occur when I use Quicktime X, Windows Media Player, or if I re-encode the video to a constant frame ra...

Ok, I think I finally figured out what the problem is. All my mp4 files are sourced from NTSC DVD or North American Blu-rays. When I transcode the DVD/BD rips to mp4, I have been keeping the frame rate the same as the source, such as 23.98p, 24p, 29.97i/p, 30p. When VLC plays these video source fram...

edit: I thought I was on to something last night when I was experimenting with OpenGL Driver Monitor, but it turns out my results were flawed. Please disregard the test files I posted here earlier. I ended up turning off Hardware Acceleration in VLC and I was getting the same micro-stutters every 16...

Something new I noticed. When playing any video file with Quicktime Player X, VTDecoderXPCService is invoked, as seen in Activity Monitor (CPU). When I play any video with VLC, I notice that VTDecoderXPCService is NOT invoked. Is there a way to force VLC to use VTDecoderXPCService? I would like to s...
