If I am not mistaken, the Chromecast option for output in VLC 3.0.0 only exists on Windows and Android, not on macOS or Linux or iOS. I successfully tried it out on Windows 10 64-bit (the latest “Fall Creators Update” version), but I have had zero luck finding the option for it on macOS 10.12.6 Sier...

Well the nightlies website at https://nightlies.videolan.org/ seems to have had the nightlies taken down in order to just have a message about how version 3.0.0 has not been released yet, really annoying, I wish you would bring back nightly builds to that site as soon as possible. Still, thankfully,...

No the content I watch is not HD or 4K, unless you consider 720p to be HD. I watch stuff in the 480p to 720p range mostly and do not have any trouble with it. Also some of the videos I watch are with the HEVC a.k.a. H.265 video codec instead of the older AVC a.k.a. H.264, but those videos are only 4...

Honestly for me playback of files over smb shares from Windows machines on macOS is much smoother with fewer problems in VLC Media Player than in other players like QuickTime (which is generally awful) or even mpv (which other than this problem and difficulties with certain malformed video files tha...

Takes about 1.5 seconds on my Mac to load VLC 2.2.8 from the SSD disk, between clicking on the icon on the Dock and having the program fully loaded and interface all displayed. And my Mac is not a new model, it is from late 2008, you probably have a newer one, so it ought to be even faster for you.

The official version 2.2.8 is out now, it works on macOS 10.13 High Sierra, you can get it here: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/ It is not on the main website yet, but since the version 2.2.6 on the main website is not compatible with High Sierra, people on High Sierra should just dow...

There is now an official release version 2.2.8 of VLC Media Player out, not on the main website yet, but you can get it off the official VLC download site here: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/ (just browse down to 2.2.8, which should be the highest version number right now) There was ...

I noticed a minor issue on this 2.2.7 release candidate. It seems if I change any of the preferences in the Preferences menu, for instance switching between Bright and Dark interface style or changing Language for user interface, the change does not occur until the program has been exited and restar...

Awesome!! I tried your release candidate and it works great, the subtitle issue is fixed! Thanks a lot! Now I can upgrade from version 2.2.4 to this 2.2.7 release candidate and the .ASS subtitles in my .MKV videos all work! I just tested it. Very good job fixing things since the September 14th night...

Try https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/co ... st.tar.bz2 instead of http://download.videolan.org/pub/videol ... st.tar.bz2 for your URL.

That will fix your HTTP 404 Not Found error.

Unmount any .dmg volumes you have open, on the left side of a Finder window, by clicking the Eject button when you scroll down on the left side of the Finder window to where it says Devices. You might have a .dmg volume open with a copy of a VLC Media Player .app bundle on it. I have had that happen...

There have been no nightly builds of the 2.2.x branch for Macs since September 14, when the most recent nightlies of both VLC Media Player and the VLC NPAPI plugin for macOS were both compiled and posted on the nightlies page at https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/ . I would very very ...

You need to convert the JPG images into video files that are 3-5 seconds long and can be played in VLC Media Player. Someone else online asked how to do that and there are various answers on how to turn a JPG file into a video at https://superuser.com/questions/608569/convert-jpg-to-video-for-playba...

Try going to http://ftp.videolan.org/vlc/2.2.4/macosx/ and clicking on “VLC-webplugin-2.2.4.dmg”. Downloading the latest stable plugin that way works for me. You could also try the latest nightly build of the plugin by going to https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/ and clicking on the l...

Most web browsers are deprecating plugins right now. Google Chrome removed NPAPI plugin support completely in Chrome 45. Mozilla Firefox removed NPAPI plugin support with the exception of Flash in Firefox 52, although the Firefox 52 ESR release still supports plugins, so if you REALLY want to use a ...

Try setting your subtitle font to the font Devanagari MT, which comes with macOS, and tell us whether the problem is fixed or still happens. That is a font that supports the Devanagari characters and ought to be able to display them properly. Also see if setting the default encoding to Universal (UT...

This bug with .ASS subtitles exists in versions 2.2.5, 2.2.5.1, and 2.2.6 on macOS. The last stable version not affected was 2.2.4, so if this bug bothers you as it does me, use version 2.2.4 for now. The 3.0.0 nightly builds are not affected by this bug either but they are unstable. As far as a new...
