Just checking back on this issue since it received no replies.

If I try to change the hot key for Next to anything other than the default R arrow, it won’t override it. It will update as expected in the Hotkeys prefs, but will not update in the Mac menu bar's Playback menu above the app. No matter what key I enter/save, it won’t update or work when pressed. The...

As I inquired back in Oct 2021, would this really not be possible? Any small increment is better than none at all. I posted this above on May 28th and wanted to check back on it since it wasn’t answered directly: As a next best alternative, would it not be feasible to make new hotkeys that move the ...

I see. Well, that was a helpful and informative response. But what may be obvious to you isn't to the rest of the users on this forum who don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

You referred to "other people" and "the people" doing the encompassed work. Who else would "people" refer to if not VLC software developers? If there are exactly zero people doing development work, how does VLC even exist let alone get updated fairly often w/ several fi...

I never said it was so easy or so high priority though. That was neither my claim nor reasoning. Re-read what I did say. Being ignored for 12 yrs would equate to a 0 on a scale of 1-100 priority level, b/c in that time frame VLC has certainly made more than 100 updates to the apps. Asking why it was...

1) If nobody does the work, it takes infinitely long, no matter how easy. 2) There has not been any resistance, just nobody to do the work. I understand all of these points, but the VLC apps receive regular updates w/ fixes and new features that I'm sure are much more difficult and time consuming t...

Hi, this is tracked as ticket 4505 https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/4505 "Issue created 12 years ago" – I see that implementation of this very basic, universal feature is progressing quite quickly. How long would this really take to code? Why the resistance to adding it aft...

I’m sorry to hear about the negative troll posts which is way over the top, beyond even being completely uncalled for. I mean it’s freeware – show some appreciation and respect. I posted this above on May 28th and wanted to check back on it since it wasn’t answered directly: As a next best alternati...

Quicktime Player for Mac had both forward and reverse frame-by-frame playback working fine since the 90s with any video file that would open in the player (and most file formats were made compatible with the Perian component), so I’m not sure why reverse would be nearly impossible to implement – tho...

@GordonHathaway: I completely agree. This is a standard feature for many devices and audio/video apps, and this feature request to save the playlist state would include playlist position b/c the saved state is supposed to include all settings and positions so when the app is relaunched everything is...

I figured out what the problem was and it turned out to be due to the way that newer versions of macOS (I'm using Catalina) save screenshots at 2x the image DPI (pixels/inch): How can I stop my retina display from taking 2x sized screenshots? How to resize a screenshot image on a Mac so that it is “...

Please add the ability for new playlists to be created within the Library section, as shown below. Look at all the empty space in the left sidebar just begging for more playlists to be added, which would of course be restored when re-opening the app. There’s no need to limit the Library to displayin...

Ahh, I see it now in the File Format drop-down menu of the macOS Catalina Save dialog. These are the 3 options: M3U, XSPF, and HTML.

Thanks

Yes, I’m able to do the same thing with an m3u playlist file, but how did you save as an .xspf file? It doesn't give me file type options and just saves playlists as .m3u by default.

BBCode for image resizing doesn't seem to be working according to several sources I've checked to ensure the code is correct. For ex: https://www.bbcode.org/examples/?id=10 No matter what size image I link it will resize to the dimensions of the VLC Interface screenshot in my post here , which in th...

I opened a feature request for this here which addresses your first question: Restore playlist state when re-opening app. This supplements 2 older playlist auto-save feature requests:

Playlist autosave
Add an option to autosave current playlist on exit

I opened a feature request for this here: Restore playlist state when re-opening app

Please add the ability to remember the current playlist state when quitting, at least restoring the one currently loaded in the Playlist menu, so you don't have to keep manually re-opening the same one that was playing when you closed the app. This really should be the default setting with the optio...

+1 for autosaving current playlist and playlist position, as well as well as saving the current playlist state when quitting (if this isn't already included in the feature). Either way, I opened a separate feature request for this here: Restore playlist state when re-opening app
