Greetings, rob65803! :) Setting the Boss Key to use a single key should work. Perhaps the asterisk * in the number keys is feasible since it's less used and in a more convenient location on the keyboard(?) However, there does appear to be a glitch with the Boss Key. The key you set is not recognized...

Thanks for the answer, jb. Same problem here. Was wondering what was going on. -_-
Any possible fix for the future?

Hi, AJ1! CloudStalker hasn't actually tested this feature, but, perhaps it may do what you're looking for(?) Open up VLC and go to Tools > Preferences (Ctrl+P) In the bottom-left corner under "Show settings" select "All" In the left pane, click the plus + next to "Input / Co...

Hi, z0diac! Perhaps CloudStalker can help(?) Open up VLC and go to Tools > Preferences (Ctrl+P) At the bottom-left, under "Show settings", click "All" In the left pane select Video and in the right pane untick the box "Display video snapshot preview" and save Okay. Haaa...

Hmm....

• Does it play the same song every time or different songs?
• Do you have any songs or shortcuts to songs on your desktop?

Usually shortcuts on the desktop can have hotkeys applied to them; pressing that key will load the item in its default application.

Cool beans. CloudStalker is glad that you found something that works for you. :]
If you happen to upgrade to the next VLC version when it becomes available, let us know if the problem persists.

Hi, mrosche.
You could try changing this in the Preferences.
Go to Tools > Preferences and, under Show settings, select the All box. In the left pane click on Playlist and in the right pane tick the box Play and stop.

Hi, costa1988sv! :]
Sorry to say but CloudStalker does not believe that this is currently possible. He has moved this topic to VLC media player Feature Requests. Perhaps it can be incorporated into a future version of VLC if a developer chooses to do so.

Hi, altjx! :]
Is it possible that you have the Random button enabled in the toolbar?

Hi, svr32! :]
CloudStalker has noticed a similar issue which is sometimes accompanied by a C++ error message. Have you seen such a message? Does this occur only after stopping and playing several videos? What happens when you restart your computer and then play a video?

Hi, laleyenda. :]
When you go to Tools > Preferences > Audio do the settings changes that you've made appear to stick? Have you tried changing these settings in the advanced preferences?

Hello, Marymerina! :]
What happens when you load the YouTube video and then press the play button? Have you made any changes to "Auto Start" in the Preferences?

Greetings, laureliel. :]
It may depend on the codec being used by the video itself. Could you post that codec information here? (Press Ctrl+J while the video is playing)

Yo, Espyo! :] In all technicality, even though YouTube videos can be loaded as https in VLC, it appears they are not actually streamed over https unless through a proxy or VPN of some kind; VLC simply translates the https header to http. This can be observed by starting a YouTube video and press CTR...

Hi, chad.... :]
You can go to Tools > Preferences and under Interface Settings you'll see a section (Privacy / Network Interaction) with two boxes. Untick the "Save recently played items" box. If you do not see this option then perhaps you may be using an older version of VLC(?).

The only problem is that the duration will only be visible for a short period of time, so you'll have to hold down the "T" key.

Can anyone enlighten me? Greetings, med007. It's CloudStalker to the rescue! :D Hopefully -_- Basically, some tracks on some CDs have gaps in between them; a digital silence of sorts. The Cue sheet that EAC generates contains this information. So when you load the CUE sheet into an appropriate play...

What makes this the best paper? Does is hold the ink any better than the other papers? Does it not cause paper cuts? What is CloudStalker missing?

I am a heavy user of LAN and hope to get some help.... Try Al cone holics Anonymous. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2542/3891307533_bb8a632cc2.jpg :lol: Lol!!! That was very funny... Btw, I'm also new here.. Looking forward to learn a lot of things.. :) Ah! So you got it! CloudStalker is glad that ...

CloudStalker has some more information to share regarding SOPA. For one thing, as many of you may have already heard, starting January 23rd, Google, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, Yahoo!, Wikipedia and more may be planning to shut down their services in protest of SOPA just one day before the bill is to...

I like.. big.. buttons and I can not lie
You other LANers can't deny
When the player loads up at an itty bitty pace and a too small inter-face you get...the idea.

SOPA may be shoved in under the pretext of protecting innocent hard working artists who are being usurped out of their hard-earned wages but what other purposes will it fulfil for Big Brother? What unforeseen effects will it have on our currently unrestricted internet freedoms? We've all heard of t...

I don't think there is anything to discuss. It's bad and crap, to stop freedom online. While CloudStalker agrees with you, he find it interesting that in conversations about this with friends and others, many don't seem to fully understand what this bill is about and the consequences that would res...

CloudStalker thought that it might be interesting to know what the people here on the forums think of the Stop Online Piracy Act . Here's an interesting YouTube video that explains the SOPA bill in greater detail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM CloudStalker is especially interested in kn...
