Thanks Tombigel! I already loved the pictures you designed for the website design contest (too bad they weren't chosen...), and these new icons are really awesome! I especially like the "screenshot" you made (even though everything might not be easy to implement). Just a remark about the &...

Use "vlc --extraintf=http"

Or go to Settings -> Preferences... -> Interface -> Main interfaces
Then tick "HTTP remote control interface"

--keep is not a valid option - replace it with --sout-keep if it is what you meant.

If you don't need the interface (I mean, you just want the video), you can use "vlc --intf=dummy".

However, if you do need the interface, use "vlc --no-embedded-video".

Do you get an error message?
Go to View -> Messages to check the logs.

If you are using VLC with the video not embedded in the interface, you can use --video-x and --video-y. Otherwise, if you want to position the interface (not just the video), you can use --wx-config-last, which contains the position of the different panels of the interface (for instance, --wx-config...

What do you mean by "not functionning"?
Do you get an error message or something?

The VLC mozilla plugin usually displays "(No Video)" when it is unable to play the video file, which is the case if the codec is not supported, for instance. Try playing the file directly with VLC (not the mozilla plugin): go to File -> Open File..., and enter the URL of the video file in ...

Try [Apple]+k (audio delay up) and [Apple]+l (audio delay down).

Try Settings -> Preferences... -> Advanced
Check "Advanced options"
Uncheck "One instance when started from file", and "Allow only one running instance".

Go to Settings -> Preferences...

The Extended GUI is accessible via Settings -> Extended GUI.
The Video filters options are then displayed on the right pane.
If you don't see them, maybe you have got an old version of VLC media player?

See Settings -> Preferences... -> Video -> Subtitles/OSD -> Text renderer
You can there change the font used for subtitles.

See Settings -> Preferences... -> Video -> Subtitles/OSD -> Text renderer -> check "Advanced options"
You can there set the font type and the font size in pixels.

You can try to reset your preferences folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc

Yes, indeed. I was trying a new method to be able to move the slider at the exact position you click (which is not possible in 0.8.5). But it happens that this method depends on the slider thumb length... So I'm still looking for a way to get the correct behavior. Therefore don't be surprised of the...

When you click File > Open, there's supposed to be a little checkbox that says "advanced output" When i upgraded, it wasn't there anymore. Has it been moved? any other ideas? Try this: - check "Stream/Save" in the "Advanced options" area of the "File -> Open"...

Is it possible to set the default aspect ratio to 16:9?

Settings -> Preferences -> Video -> Source aspect ratio

Is it possible to set a custom aspect ratio at 16:10?

Video -> Aspect-ratio

I've tried the same but i still get the error message

What error message?

Try http://wiki.videolan.org/index.php/FAQ# ... _subtitles

Preferences -> Video -> Source aspect ratio -> 16:9

All recent nightly builds for Win32 crash as soon as I switch to the "Skins 2" interface!

How do you "switch to the Skins2 interface"?

You have to use the red dropdown here, and not to touch the red-crossed area

See viewtopic.php?t=22445&highlight=one+instance

Try with double quotes and escape single quotes:

have you tried with quotes around your file name?
