If i add a folder in Media and update that folder with new files locally on my computer drive.

Thank you.

I would be surprised if it hasn’t been asked for. What do you think?

Is it possible to create a VLC Watched Folder on Mac OS?

So that any file changes in the folder is reflected on VLC.

Does the record facility keep the quality of the video?
I know QUICKTIME can trim and clip without reducing quality.

The reason i ask is it is called RECORD which to me indicates a compression.


There is no way to edit 2 parts of a video right? So delete 2 parts and save.

Please can I kindly request some clarification. I use VLC player on my MAC MINI (M1). My Mac is connected to a 4k Monitor via HDMI. I set the Mac Display settings to 1080p Scale, otherwise the fonts and menus are too small. My Question is if I play 4K Videos via VLC are these playing in 1080p or 4K....

Thank u. I downloaded it, but it seems to be same version. In is IOS as KIND, instead of UNIVERSAL as KIND. Apple informed me that UNIVERSAL is a full Silicon version, but this is IOS.

Perhaps I am mistaken?

Thank you for the update.

This is IOS version which is translated by Rosetta.

Any plans for full Universal App for Apple Silicon?

Please may I ask 2 technical question about VLC Player resolution on Mac OS BigSur. 1. I have the new Mac MINI (M1CHIP) connected to a 4k display via HDMI. My display settings on Mac Mini is Scaled zoom, which makes it easier to read text for me. However I understand this will not reduce resolution ...

What will the benefits be with the upgrade to Apple Silicon version? What version number will it be?

I just got my Mac Mini with M1 CHIP.
