[CLI] Specify the item from a provided xspf playlist?

Let's say I'm launching VLC like this: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -I ncurses "/path/to/my/playlist.xspf" The playlist.xspf contains a few items, which have their titles and vlc:ids . The question is, can I somehow start VLC in such a way that it would open (play) not just the...

Can I install VLC 3.x on Ubuntu 16.0.4?

I tried adding this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily But the latest VLC I still seem to get is 2.2.2. So, is there any way to install some newer version on this old machine? Linux 4.15.0-70-generic #79~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 11:54:29 UTC 2019 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux Thanks!...

Re: Stop VLC from renaming Media Library items?

Thanks for the reply, Felix!

But why does making the file read-only doesn't help? Why -- and, actually, how -- does VLC manage to restore the file ownership and the file permissions? I'd say that's looks like a thing that shouldn't really happen :)

Stop VLC from renaming Media Library items?

This is a pic of my Media Library (note the station named Ancient FM): https://i.imgur.com/kpN7ubf.png Next, I start this station, VLC obtains information from the internet, and then renames this item accordingly to it: https://i.imgur.com/APlsOsu.png Thus, my question is the following: is it possib...

Re: VLC play Youtube link

@unidan maybe youtube changed their privateAPI again Hardly. I got vlc 3.0.8 @ macOS playing YouTube without problems (after updating youtube.luac file), and the same vlc 3.0.8 on Lubuntu (also, after updating to the same youtube.luac ) failing to do this. Something's interesting going on here :)

Adding to playlist from the command line?

VLC 2.x.x used to have the option --playlist-enqueue to add a file to the existing VLC playlist. The current VLC 3.0.8 seems not to have this option anymore... Thus, the question: is it possible to add a file (or an URL) to the current VLC playlist from the command line?

Thank you :)

Adding to VLC's Command Line Interface from another script?

It's probably not possible but I'd still ask :) Let's say I have vlc -I rc running and streaming over my local network. Is it somehow possible to add files to this instance's playlist from the outside, from some shell script, for example? Some real life example: I have a shell script to browse my mu...

Re: Stop an old stream, start a new one, and the client just continues?

WOW! I literally didn't know a thing about this control center. And it's so handy :). Thanks a lot. Two questions, though: the usual hotkeys, like Left and Right, or Ctrl-a and Ctrl-e don't seem to work (the shell prints out the escape sequences instead). Is it possible to fix that? And also the tab...

Re: Stop an old stream, start a new one, and the client just continues?

or you use an interface module like rc/oldrc/http to clean up the playlist and open the new playlist file
Once again thanks for your help and interest! Any hint on how it can be done may be? :)

It seems to be this issue right ? https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-ios/issues/64 It looks like this, yes. However, as I said earlier, I also wasn't able to import the usual M3U, something of such kind: #EXTM3U http://5.152.208.98:8058/ #EXTINF:0,stream http://94.23.201.38:8000/stream #EXTINF:...

Transferring ml.xspf file to iOS VLC?

Hi!

On my desktop, in VLC, in MediaI Library (file ml.xspf), I have a collection of some internet radio stations. Is there any way to transfer this whole collection to my iOS VLC, or will I have to enter every entry manually? :)

Thanks.
