thanks - I went instead for intelliremote sfotware from mellorware.com, with my existing remote - that gives me complete customisable VLC control & so far it is working great.
( I googled streamzap some more & got that it had crap software )
I note that VLC default is to disable thsi & that there is not a lot of help in FAQ etc on how to choose the best option. ( PowerDVd7 on the other hand, defaults to having this Enabled) is this because for most file types the VLC options have no effect, - for playback on a flat screen monitor co...
I'm almost convinced to use VLC as my default media player. I now have it doing all the things I like about Zoom player except for 2 features: 1. Being able to autoplay the next file in a directory without having to build a playlist before hand 2. being able to zoom to greater than fullscreen or 2:1...
IT would be nice if VLC could have more than 1 hotkey assigned to a single fuction but that does not look possible ? You can have two keys. One normal and one global. i started going there but could not see how to edit global hotkey settings in VLC - so do they have to be set outside of it. I curre...
OK yes - I reset all preferences than set media hotkeys, saved ,restarted, googled, searched the forum.... seems that current version cannot be made to work with media keys. I even found a free app that claimed to make things work with vlc0.86 but no luck with that either googled global hotkeys but ...
two issues 1. I can go to hotkeys - preferences and enter+save the media keys on my keyboard for play, stop mute etc. I see them in prefs OK but when I test vlc with a file they are not working, in either window or full screen - what have I missed ? - or are these keys not supported e.g. I have this...
I currently get VLC to respond to my microsoft/cyberlink remotes by using VLC hotkeys to put essental play, pause, next, previous skip back etc onto keys which the remote can generate i.e. tonto arrow keys and numberpad, bcause that'all that gets through from remotes to VLC. It works, assuming one c...
I can now confirm that this bug is caused/cured by ticking/unticking "use system codecs if available" ( ticking this box causes VLC to add quicktime to preferred docoders list & M4A audio is then lost - removing it & unticking the box restores audio) If VLC is allowed to add quickt...
anyuone else getting an "invalid security certificate" - dangerous to continue to this forum website warning. seems to have only started today, in IE8 it is happening when I follow this link - from s scubscribed thread notification email If you want to view the newest post made since your ...
Can you share the non-working file? if that is addressed to me - it's not one specific file that fails, it's any file using an M4A codec. you see from codec properties while the file is playin tht no audio is beign decoded. may I suggest the small sample.mov file which installs with quicktime as a ...
a) on what the DMO setting does and DMO defaults to DirectX Media Objects decoders if system has those. b) on how those entires ever came to be there - I had never previously put anything into that preferred decoders field! Maybe you have run VLC with quicktime option and then saved the settings? H...
try this: preferences (advanced) -> input / codecs (this branch, not any of the children) ---> preferred decoders list (scroll alll the way down) -----> enter "mp4,aac,faad," before anything already in the edit box my box had quicktime (and twice).. i had a similar (same?) problem with mp...
this M4A bug is becoming really annoying. ONce again i find myself wanting to watch a Hi-DEf movie with M4A encoded soundtrack & getting no sound. so once again i go throuhg the steps of 1. backup vlcrc, 2. reset cache & preferences from start menu - 3. test & get sound back but lose all...
system: windows XP pro(32bit) SP3 IE7 up to date tested with VLC versions: 0.8.6i-win32, 0.9.6-win32, o.9.9-win32, 1.0.0-win32 and 1.0.1-win32 21 gigabyte .mov file information from "VLC media player 0.8.6h Janus"(Debian5 Lenny): \/Stream 0 Codec: dvcp, Type: Video, Resolution: 720x576, F...
the fixes ( reset preferences, clear cache ) given so far do not work permanently. once again I find that my "fixed" version of VLv1.01 - after using it for other videos for a few days - is again not playing the m4a, m4b sound, the exact same problwm which started the thread - dot decoding...
this should be dead easy but I can't see how to do it. I have a series of TV rips ( .avi video format) where each episode spans 2 or more video files, and the entire season of episodes is in one main folder. so I want to load all the files making up one episode into a playlist & let them play th...
I have many DVDs on Hard drive. where I have a simple structure of only a VIDEO_TS folder within a DVD_NAME folder then I can play it in VLC via right click on parent folder & select play with VLC, but if I have anything else in the parent folder e.g. a folder.jpg file or a description.txt file,...
"Media -> Recent Media" ok thanks - another not-very-intuitive command location. most other windows progams maintain thier recent files list directly under a FILE tab. anyway- thanks for that - now what's VLC's definition of "recent" i.e. how long will entries stay on that "...
i eventually got playlists to load after going to windows folder options and associating the playlist file type with VLC. but there's no intuitive way to find a playlist, and VLC seems incapable of finding it's last used playlist without user help. as there is a save playlist button, it's logical to...
So you cannot change the icon via Folder options even if you restore? no - the only icons that windows offers fore you to choose from are its own standard set. I eventually just re-installed the same version 1.01 VLC over the existing install, & ticked the appropriate file types at install stag...
You should be able to change icon from Windows Explorer, Tools -> Folder options... and File types tab. I already looked there - but once windows decides that you have already "customised" that fie type, it no longer offers the option to select an icon it offers a "restore " opt...
the VLC cone icon is not showing for various file types that I have now set to run in VLC - via the open with... always use ths option route in Windows XP. Is there anyway to make the cone icon appear, part from re-installing & setting file associations at the install stage. e.g. all my .AVI fil...
