Please don't go this way. The fact that no one pays the devs DOES mean they do not have to have a solution for any problem. No one forces you to use this product...

Open VLC Eneble Video -> Float on Top File -> Open File... Cannot choose file - due to Float on Top; cannot disable FoT - since there is an open window. Most problematic when VLC covers all screen. Workarond: 'press esc' I think this workaround is not trivial. Desired solution: Can VLC's own finder ...

build.sh contains your second (fixed) script.
Now used on top of today's git clone -> branch 3.0.x
Have I used your script properly?

It looks like the script refuses to accept code downloaded using Web browsers (tat.gz from project's gitlab), and I cannot use git right now due to connectivity problems, so the topic will have to wait.
Thanks for now

On MacOS 12.6,
Xcode 14.1
It was 3.0 current from 24 Oct 2022 last time

Yes

1. Tried newer versions?
2. Workaround: Window -> video effects.

Have you tried:
: resetting settings (preferences -> reset all)?
: Changing versions?

I have tested 4.0 nigtly on mac. not liked the opening of two windows on start. By default at least.
Other problems I've met are sure to be targeted or made of my mistake, so I should not talk about them for now, without beta released...

Same behaviour for windows 32 buit. No 3.0.17.4 snapshot. Maybe it is a patch backported from 3.0.18 development.

Nightlies are still provided, jumping from 3.0.17.3 on 2022/06/09 to 3.0.18 on 2022/06/10.
This behaviour applies to windows x64 also. Strange...

The macOSCompile Wiki article seems quite outdated. It recommends Xcode 9.3 (14.1 is now in RC), and I do not know wether or not my compile-ttime error codes origin from my own mistakes.
Did someone try compiling VLC using up-to-date macOS tools?

Does someone know why is there no release of VLC 3.0.17.4 for Mac?
Released for other main platforms long ago...
