UPnP in the default skin

Is it possible to access UPnP from the default skinned interface? Even with no skin it is located not in the most obvious and logical of places, but in the skinned interface I couldn't find it at all. 3.0.17.4 windows

cant it play DVDs as bunch of files?

I have no issues playing DVDs as ISO images, but I found no way to open VIDEO_TS folder with files in it - when I try to play a VIDEO_TS folder it just tries to play all files in it one by one and fails. Linux VLC has 'open directory' command which opens VIDEO_TS folder and plays it as DVD, how can ...

Re: cannot read smb share

So this problem was caused by blocking port 445, I wonder why I did it... Changed ports to defaults and all seems to be working including vlc. Still better to fix it. Thanks a lot.

Re: cannot read smb share

Exactly. To be precise, there is one line - 'E/libdsm (27746): netbios_session_new, open_socket: Connection refused', and I quoted it in my first message.

Re: 1.1.2 - no video

Looks like it is caused by a broken cropping filter - when it is enabled in preferences-video filters it apparently crops everything regardless of settings, setting it to automatic cropping enables occational flashes of video - but that's the best it can do

1.1.2 - no video

1.1.2, xp sp2 - no video output, just black screen on all videos i tried - xvid, iso dvd, etc. Sound plays ok. Tried tinkering with video output modules, but changing it from default to directx, opengl or gdi changed nothing. No stderr error messages when started from console. Also vlc.exe process f...

Re: crappy video quality in 0.9.8a

I've figured it out, the advice given as a sticky topic in this very forum - here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=42328&start=0 - is not a good advice at all. Setting 'skip loop filter for H.264' to none dramatically improved video quality in 0.9.8a

autocropping affects DVD menus

When autocropping (video-filters-crop-automatic cropping) is on vlc up to 0.9.8a may kill DVD menus - overcrops it in such a way that controls are cut off or blacks the screen completely. As far as I can tell it happens only to static menus with no animation at all even though the frame is by no mea...

file caching issues

When trying to use VLC 0.8.6c for windows to play video files from a slow network (samba) server I've decided to increase file caching values to avoid video breakups, it turned out that as much as 5000-10000ms is necessary for smooth hdtv playback. Unfortunately setting large caching values resulted...

SMB - what is it for?

To fix video breakups when reading files from a slow network share I tried to increase SMB caching value (--smb-caching) - strangely it didn't help. After some tinkering about I discovered that VLC always uses --file-caching parameter even though file is on the network and full \\server\share\file p...
