Re: Couple of noob questions

To reply I worked into a list of local songs I had in VLC. Later I used a list of URLs to check HTML function. I CTRL+clicked a few of the songs (but I'll bet other familiar selection methods would work just as well.) After selecting them I right clicked one of of the selected songs. A context menu ...

Re: Directly convert a mp3 stream from a youtube video

Running Windows 10 I extract podcasts from YouTube all the time with 2.2.6 Umbrella. This is how I do it. Using Chrome to get the clip's address, but others certainly work. Browser: Right click the clip's icon and copy the address VLC: Toggle to [Playlist] mode (one of the buttons at the bottom, bet...

Re: Newbie needs to transfer audio file to library

How do you transfer to the library? I just opened "Media Library" on the left to Playlist view. (at the bottom of the interface between the equalizer button and the repeat button.) Then I opened a regular Windows explorer window to one of my album directories. I highlighted all the songs a...

Re: Basic Question

I'm just an end user with some experience, not a programmer. Just replying this time to let you know what I found when I tried to open a few things. 1.) One of your URLs with 'Advanced Open' - Nothing happened, simply appeared as a playlist entry. Double clicking and pressing play button had no effe...

Re: Can't get PAL disc to play

I hate to say it, buy a new DVD drive and dedicate it to the region you need. My research into the subject is a from a few years ago but as you know, this is a hardware issue. Think of the order things happen, disc > laser > circuitry > rom > logic > cable to the PC > PC hardware > OS > UI, if it do...

Two brief UI questions: Location of saves, Ctrl+W scope

I create MP3 podcasts from streaming video and VLC works great. Over time I can't figure out how VLC determines its 'save' location. It is not the last-save-location, but it is a previous location. But occasionally it updates. Since I generally save several podcasts in succession to one folder it wo...

Re: Can not play jpeg file

I've been impressed by JPEGView by David Kleiner on Sourceforge

There is at least one other program with a similar name, but I checked the help > about, and the author I listed is correct. I'm using a 64 bit version, 1.0.35.1

Re: Clear the playlist when loading a new playlist file

I like the default VLC behavior. The argument can be made other players are forcing their behavior on users. The big difference is with VLC we can actually write a comment that the developers will read and the lead developer will respond to. With that said, a "behavior switch" /setting sou...

Re: VLC Windows 10 does not seem to work??

Have you succeeded with other web sites in VLC? There may be a license issue the website enforces. For instance, when I copy a YouTube URL from a browser and use VLC to view it by pasting into 'advanced open,' or 'open network stream,' I usually am always successful. When I try to save a clip locall...

Minor GUI interface questions, conversion from stream

I have a routine for transcoding a YouTube stream to audio. It works well. The routine has been pared down as much as I can figure through the GUI. The next thing I would like to accomplish is automating the process to transcode more than one stream to individual files. When I succeed I intend to de...

Re: Command line transcoding YouTube to mp3 audio

Thanks for the feedback. I used a simple mouse-drag highlight to copy the string from debug output and had to modify it to get it to display the YouTube title, so I agree it's probably a punctuation tweak. Do you have a favorite place to look up how VLC parses command lines? I'm betting there is som...

Through the GUI I often transcode YouTube lectures to local mp3 for podcasts and I wish to automate the process on the command line. This command started from a successful GUI-based effort, a modification from level 2 messages output and using the help examples as a template. Windows 10, up to date ...

Re: Dropping/skipping audio while using Bluetooth

Non-authoritative answer but I've had a similar experience. I think some of mine may have come from low bitrate mp3s, 128kbit/sec. But I've also had it listening to streaming YouTube, the streaming issue was less mp3 artifacts and more buffering. When I would use a hardwire connection to the router ...
