My Apple remote worked fine for volume in VLC on both my Macs, until I upgraded one of them to High Sierra, now it doesn't work on that one at all, but it still works on the one running Sierra 10.12.6 just fine.

I'm having an issue too, my Apple remote will no longer control volume in VLC after upgrading to High Sierra. I'm currently running VLC 2.2.7 and everything else on the remote works but the volume. Scratching head....

Okay, I got rid of the soundbars display, but now my Apple remote still doesn't work for the volume. I got rid of the stalling and pixelating by installing a nightly build of VLC 2.2.7, which I am very relieved solved that issue, but now I have to get my remote working right. The stop/start/next but...

Since one of my Macs got upgraded to High Sierra I've gotten a very much unwanted feature in VLC when playing a video, that a a soundbar window over the video that I cannot get rid of at all. I can play the video over it, but it shouldn't be there at all, and I can find no way in VLC preferences to ...

Ya know Lornadoo, you are right. In Activity Monitor I found that the disk the videos were on was generating huge amounts of network traffic, stalling out the videos I tried to play from it. I'm not sure why the disk was doing that, but I moved the files to another disk and formatted the original, b...

I had to have the startup disk in one of my Mac Minis replaced at the Apple store. It had been running Sierra, under which VLC worked beautifully, but they put High Sierra on the new disk, and now it doesn't work right any more at all. Now, when I open a video with it I get a big sound-bar window ov...

I've been using VLC player for years. Over the last year I've encountered this problem of videos played in VLC player endlessly stalling for minutes at a time, and to say the least it is very annoying. I cannot watch videos I've had on disk for years without them locking up every few minutes for min...

Well Movist crashed and burned too, proving much too buggy to continue using after it's initial appeal. In the meantime I've noted that VLC's issues appear to be periodic, and do not occur at all times. Since the last time I observed them they seem to have disappeared, and contrary to another poster...

I'm at 10.12.5 now too, and nothing helps. One cannot but hope that Videolan can at last address this issue that is affecting so many of their loyal users as it has gone on for far too long without redress. Without corrective measures on their part I don't see how VLC player can continue.

Well, I have discovered Movist on the Apple App Store and it's my new video player, having no such issue as has plagued me with VLC, and it has far more extensive Apple remote support. No more freezing videos, no more gray pixelated screens, it just works on my Macs. So that's what I'm using now. I ...

Well I went looking for alternatives to VLC and found MplayerX, which turned out to be malware. Malwarebytes removed it after it wouldn't start or do anything and I did a scan. Now I'm wondering if I need to change my password on my Mac, and what did they get? I also found MacKeeper as malware, with...

Ah! I'm having this issue too, with VLC 2.2.5.1 and It's happening across my network on the new machine, and on the machine I have the videos on. Both are late 2012 Mac Minis, one with 8gb memory and one with 16gb memory, both running 10.12.4 Sierra, networked via WiFi and CAT5 ethernet. The videos ...

This has become very frustrating and I've searched and searched for a solution, without finding one anywhere online. I've also had this problem with earlier versions of VLC player, and it's where the video locks up on me while playing, sometimes for almost a minute, sometimes just for a few seconds,...

I just bought a second Mac Mini, upgraded both to Sierra, and got them talking to each other over the network in order to share 14.2 tb of video files so I could watch my videos in the living room on my new 32 in. monitor, but it's not working out. I've tried 3 versions of VLC now and they all do th...
