Dear forum, I am aware of the option "show media title on video start" and of the option "(display) position" usually triggered by the "t" key alas, theere is no option to display the media title in the middle of a video. So I am looking for a way to do so, similar to t...

prevent auto-startup of command line in VLC 2.1

I upgraded to VLC 2.1 and also applied the patch from http://www.hexbeerium.com/ so I can control VLC through my home wifi from the cellular phone. However, ever since I applied the patch, vlc will start with the command line interface in the background. And even when I close the player window, the ...

Re: .xmp support for (all) video formats?

it is a "sidecar" xml file resting next to a media file. pic1.jpg might have a sidecar pic1.xmp. It contains processing data for the media file so that the original file is unchanged but the processing data is applied before display. The most common use is in image processing, where you ha...

.xmp support for (all) video formats?

just a thought... would it be possible to add xmp sidecar support for video files? Probably by a filter that has to be switched on, so as not to confuse newbies. Idea is that the xmp will contain cropping info for the video (maybe colour adjustment?) and will be applied each time the file is played ...

Re: How to autocrop for full screen zoom ?

I am trying to get rid of black bars (cinemascope) for some videos I want this to be as automatic as possible, on a per-file basis so globally changing "crop" to 16:9 is not an option because then vlc will remove parts of any 4:3 file. In previous threads I have read about an --autocrop co...

Re: issues with pauses in MP3 playback, volume change latenc

OK now I have no pauses but still those cracks, as if there was a decompression error (the way you sometimes hear when the source file is bad - I know it isnt because I've heard that file often)
way to go :/

Re: issues with pauses in MP3 playback, volume change latenc

it seems that graphic equalizer "on" improves the playback a lot
I still have issues after jumping around in a file.
will stick to nightly 2.0.2 now and see what I can reproduce

issues with pauses in MP3 playback, volume change latency

Dear all, I recently migrated from latest VLC 1.x to VLC 2.0.1 I was very disappointed because simple MP3s which use hardly any CPU at all suddenly "stuttered" i.e. playback would halt like 0,5 seconds before continuing. So I increased my "file buffer size" to 2000ms. It seems I ...

VLC 1.1.5 audio hickups - downgrade is the only solution

Have fair Win32 PC, core2duo at 3GHz everything was running smooth with vlc 1.1.4 (except for a few occasional crashes) now that I installed 1.1.5, audio had hickups, every few seconds, like every 5-10 or so. Independent of the format, with mp3s, apes, various video file formats. I originally though...

preferences window: offer "search" field for preferences

I very much like the eclipse window - you type in part of a name of the preference, and in the preference tree it highlights only the paths that lead to those preferences, plus higlights the preferences in the main pane. since vlc is getting more and more preferences, I'd like to have that search fe...

MP3 album covers: more integration with service, more user c

I am not even aware what service is used to display these images. So I would like to be able to * replace an image * by submitting a better one to that service ...

MP3 album covers: Stretch to window size

I like to use vlc to play my mp3s, and I like very much that it displays the album cover of the current song. When I maximize/enlarge vlc media player to use most of the screen, the album images can be very small, depending on the source. Currently cover images are reduced in size, but not enlarged....

thank you all for this analysis.
I too use vlc to play m3u playlists, which 1.1 cannot do.

Now I want to create a playlist with all the tracks in that folder. For simplicity, I'd like to create an M3U playlist. I have not found out why I s...

Scenario: you upgrade to a new version of VLC the first option is to install the previous version. In that uninstaller, there is an option "delete preferences and cache" but even if you remove the checkmark (i.e. KEEP your preferences) they are usually deleted why? because in the installer...
