Re: How to capture audio from a website? Not even possible in VLC?

@ blahblahblahblahblah,

Please post the URL to the site you want to record audio from. I have Windows 8.1 as well so I'll try to record the audio to see if it can be done.

Re: MP4s will no longer convert to MP3s.

Works for me. Here's a pix of the profile you should be using to extract the audio from an mp4. https://i.postimg.cc/bsFMwr15/extract-audio.png (click to enlarge) When you click the Browse button where it reads "Destination file" it takes you to the folder where the original mp4 is located...

Re: Getting error VLC unable to open the MRL

Works for me:
Are you sure to have ticked the Audio CD selection ?
In my particular case Audio CD wasn't selected. Doing that enables playback. Don't ask me why I didn't check that.

Re: Getting error VLC unable to open the MRL

I can confirm the problem. The easiest solution is to locate the disc in Windows File Explorer ---> right click ---> Play with VLC media player. That works for me.

Re: VLC crashes when network stream address is entered

What I usually do when encountering this problem is to use a Firefox addon called The Stream Detector ( it's since been renamed I notice ). It has a setting to identify streams and create YT-DLP commands to download videos to your own machine. It's what I used to create the m3u8 link I posted earlie...

Re: Black bar on gopro footage.

Superimposing the smaller window during playback seems to initiate the problem. Otherwise both black bars are the same size. You could try disabling the setting "Resize interface to video size" to see if it makes any difference. Hit Ctrl + P to open prefs and you'll see the setting in the ...

Re: Black bar on gopro footage.

Update vlc to the latest version which is 3.0.17.4 and then check again: https://www.videolan.org/

By the way, you've uploaded your video explaining the problem with the Private flag enabled. That means nobody can view it without logging in.

Re: VLC crashes when network stream address is entered

There are VLC plugins to invoke YT-DLP automatically.

All links to the YT-DLP plugin you mentioned lead back to your own site Rémi. But it seems to be only available as a Linux installation as far as I can tell. Is there a Windows installer available?

Looks like a CDN problem. Sites like Cloudflare in this particular case prevent access to online content if it determines that the connection presents a threat in some way or other.

It's been a while and it does not seem like vlc 4.0 is going to be released any time soon. It's not challenging to change the limit to 256 or even 65536. Is there a technical reason as to why the limit is so low, when you consider that hdd space is in the gigabytes now even on phones. At 65536 file...
