Is there any news on getting this fixed? I rely on using VLC on my smartphone whenever I'm in hospital. I have ripped my audiobooks into multiple mp3s. All very well unless I fall asleep, and interrupted, etc. Then if I try to either pause and recommence the playlist I now get this multiple files er...

I thought I had this beaten, but the results seem to be hit and miss. I insert a tag like this into the playlist above the path and filename of the file, but on screen VLC is displaying the filename (not the path) #EXTINF:-1,Good Omens S02e01 ../directoryname/filename.ext On a related note, why does...

This bug (since VLC is supposed to be editing) is clearly in the "don't care" category, since no-one has addressed the reports and complaints going back at least since 2010.

All 'solutions' being posted are bandaids. Let's be serious, VLC is a top media player and we are watching often on big screens from across the room. Except the playlists are ridiculous. Changing Windows settings affects the menus, but not the actual list. The text is teeny tiny to the point of bein...

I can't log the issue. I am rebuilding my notebook again in an effort to get all the quick access locations out of the OneDrive folder (I don't have OneDrive installed), and for some reason GitLab won't accept the username/password I have stored in my google account. That's why I reported it here.

Easily 95% of the time when I want to create a clip to use in a movie review and hit the record icon nothing seems to happen. 1. There is no way that I can find to tell that there is a recording happening. It's hit the icon, hope for the best, hit it again in the hope that if it is recording, this w...

I know there are threads already, and I have annotated them, but the noise to signal ratio is very high. As a reviewer I take snapshots and want to make clips a lot. Whenever I rebuild or upgrade I have to trawl through preferences trying to recreate my, well, preferences. Inevitably I end up wastin...

VLC isn't consistent in where it writes the files, and partly because there is no way to know that VLC is recording. Easily 95% of the time I hit the record button and end up with nothing. Either it's not recording or the files are landing somewhere super-secret.

I'll post this caution elsewhere, however, in Windows 11 the Pictures folder is located in c:\users\username\OneDrive\Pictures. Yes, filing user documents in amongst the drek of Windows app files is ugly on so many levels. But VLC using this has cost me 3 hours of work. VLC writes to the folder even...

I just caught that there was a reply, thanks. I've had a quick look and it seems from a scan that documentors need to work with Python. If that's the case, then that explains a lot. Programmers and Documentors / Tech Writers are very different beasts. Python goes from "straightforward, this mak...

I'm using 3.0.18 and am encountering two problems that are posted elsewhere on the web. 1. Record often doesn't work and the only posted fixes are (a) reboot the machine or (b) reinstall VLC. This is a new machine, so, what is going on? 2. Documentation refers to the "Videos" directory, wh...

The majority of people using VLC would more likely not be familiar with CLI. As a professional documenter I have experience with having to physically travel to a programmer's desk and park myself there until I can get a straight answer that will enable me to write user-appropriate instructions. I fi...

I wish I had it. My track list is illegible. I just click randomly and use next/previously to find the file. Windows 11. Display set to 125% (recommended).

Can we please set up more accessible font sizes for the playlists, and on the other hand, be able to reduce the monster-sized pathnames and info display in the actual player? The font sizes in VLC player are weird. The filename/title is huge, the left playlist pane is legible, and the actual list te...

I'd like to vote for these mods to be stated in the VLC playlist formats. I don't know if this is a relevant place, but the font sizes in VLC player are weird. The filename/title is huge, the left playlist pane is legible, and the actual list text is so small that I can't read them on a close-by mon...

Clearly people have different approaches to filing. I've never found VLC-created playlists useful, so I create my own in VBA and/or NoteTabPro scripting. Please, please don't FORCE playlists into a single location. I have thousands of them. Please don't default to absolute as absolute has a shorter ...

Yes, please!!!!!

Replay gain search in VLC documentation just gives a list of parameters, which look like command line arguments of some kind. Volume up and down is user speak, replay gain must be an audiophile thing. Since my playlists are used on multiple configurations, putting as much in the playlist makes the i...

Why are you denying the point? Since rattlehead » 2016 Aug Fri 12:58 post there is not one single link, and other links in other threads on the forum are 404. "mederi's examples" is a strange non-specific reference, since there is no link to them. There must be specifications, verbose and ...

Deleting the preferences used to work. 2022-08 it doesn't fix the problem. I have tried all the different playlist play settings.

I've never heard of LUA, but it appears to be dead. "Instructions to code your own VLC Lua scripts and extensions" is 404.

Wonderful reply, I wish there was some way to tick useful solutions on this forum.

Wow, being able to control the volume in playlists would be so useful. One of the worst things about using VLC for multiple files from multiple sources is being blasted with noise, only to have the next item a low mutter. Who watches playlists with hands poised over the keyboard to adjust every item...

Since ParadoxImmobilizer is asking to only access the audio stream, surely that IS controlling the input.

I have no idea what you mean. Your 'answer' does not point to documentation, is there documentation? I have been trying to find the vlc implementation for about 3 years, likely longer. Nor does it point me to where it is documented that one can hide undesired subtitles, or show the desired subtitles...
