The VideoLAN Forums

Why does VLC include features that won't work? In this case, I'm talking about adding a logo or watermark. I've tried it multiple different ways, from the command line and in the GUI and it won't work. I asked for help a long time ago, on this forum, and never got an answer. Asked in the VLC subredd...

Nothing on this? I've gone through the Wiki and found this tutorial (https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@ted7/how-to-add-watermark-logo-in-vlc#:~:text=Kindly%20click%20on%20the%20Video,is%20currently%20playing%20in%20VLC.) and even video - and yet I cannot make it work on a Mac. I'd like to know more on...

Eventually I want to do this on my Apple TV, but now I'm testing it on my Mac. I sometimes have friends over for watching movies and I want to add the MST3K image on the bottom of the screen: https://i.postimg.cc/Lq2dnqz1/MST3-KSilhouette-02.png I used Command-E to get the effects window: https://i....

I don't think this is possible in VLC itself, but I'm wondering if there is some kind of plugin or add-on that will do this. Is there any way to have VLC display metadata about a file by using the filename. For instance, if I have a file titled "Raiders_Of_The_Lost_Ark-1981" or "Battl...

I don't expect to find this feature in VLC, but I figured I could always ask and maybe there is a plugin for it. I'm most interested in using it on Apple TV. Is there any way to display show information that matches a file name for a TV episode or a movie? For instance, if I have a file named "...

The shuffle and repeat buttons are not displayed when playing video on iPhone, just for audio. In fact, you should not see the changing of the buttons - is this on an older phone? However, you can of course still control shuffle and repeat - just touch the "..." button to reveal the contr...

If I have the control set to shuffle, on my iMac, iPad, iPhone, or AppleTV, when I start playing a folder, it always starts at the first file (listed alphabetically), then I have to skip to the next to start with a random play shuffle. If the control is already on shuffle, why does it not start with...

Note: I'm using photos on postimg.cc - isn't there a way to upload a photo to this forum so it shows inline? There are img tags, but I don't see a way to upload attachments or images. When using VLC on my iPhone, when a file starts playing, I get this on my screen: https://postimg.cc/c6M9k9Gk On the...

Your issue sounds like mine: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=159517 We both use iPhone 6 + with iOS v12.5.5 too. I assume you had no issues in the older VLC's iOS versions. Everything worked fine until the update. And now no responses at all about what to do to fix this or my ot...

Running VLC Version 3.3.0 (148), just auto-updated 2 days ago on an old SIM-less iPhone 6+ running iOS 12.5.5. I'm having problems with network shares. (I'd post screenshots, but there appears to be no way to upload them.) When I click on the network button to see what servers are on my LAN, I get t...

I have an old iPhone 6+ on iOS 12.5.5 without a SIM that I keep on my nightstand. I use VLC, Version 3.3.0 (148), nightly. I use a sleep mask with bluetooth speakers in it. I start VLC, go to an SMB share on my media server, and play from some folders with a number of video files in them. I'm not wa...

I have two media servers on my LAN, both set up with SMB shares, both set to allow guest login. ) (And both running variations of Linux.) The problem is different behavior. On server A, when VLC asks me for a username and password, I don't enter anything and I can login without a problem. After the ...

First, I want to be clear: With default settings, I know the video window resizes to match the size of each video it plays. I do NOT want this. I want the opposite. When I have a window open and I'm watching something in higher quality, it may fill my window. But then, when a lower quality video com...

Thank you! I wasn't clear whether "Sharing via Wifi" was on my iPhone, my desktop, or where, so it took me a minute to find it in VLC. Once I did, remembered seeing it before and thought that would have been sharing as streaming, not as downloading. I turned it on, went to my desktop and p...

There are some MP3 files that I play frequently (they help me fall asleep). The bottom line is I need to download these files to my iPhone so they're stored there and then be able to play them directly from the phone. They're low quality bitrate, so iTunes refuses to upload them from my LAN. I'm oft...

Honestly I would recommend purchasing Infuse which can do exactly what you are asking. I have Infuse. There are good things, but there are bugs. They're getting there, but they're not there yet. And it doesn't work well for the audio files I use. I have sleep issues and do best with something on in...

I'm going to take that, then, as, "No, there's no way to do this. If there is, it's so obscure nobody knows how to do it."

Do I need to clarify my question or are there no answers because there are no ways to bookmark folders on network shares and no way to keep login info for shares?

I searched and found a few links about bookmarking streams, but did not find anything on bookmarking network shares. If, on Apple TV, I want to watch videos on a network share, I have to go to the Network option, pick the server, log in (it's Anonymous, but I have to go through that every time), the...

Thank you! I'll watch for the update and see how things go. I was slow to adopt Apple TV and I can see why people would not bother to get one, but I suspect that'll be changing now, with their pay services (TV+ and their Arcade service). I've used VLC for years and years, so it was only natural for ...

What do I have to do to get any help on this?

If my post is confusing, tell me.

If my issues are unheard of and there's no idea what's going on, it'd help to know that.

But I posted this a week ago and no responses.

I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong and why I can't get any help with this.

Is there something I can do to clarify my concerns or to get some help or information on this situation? I see this question has 40 views, but no answers at all, so I'd like to know if I need to change something to make it clear what I'm asking about. In short, I'm finding that I cannot see any vide...

I've been using VLC on macOS (and OS X before that) for a good while without problems. I've recently started experimenting with using media servers and being able to watch videos on various devices. I'm specifically worried about two issues with Apple TV. 1. This could be a result of the issue in an...
