workround / fix is here: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=142669#p468492 Note i last tested this in VLC 3.0.11 and it worked but in 3.0.12 i found that while i can't move the "track" column, you can place other fields / columns around it, so you can effectively make the ...

You are right. The setting is stored in " vlc-qt-interface.ini " file: [Playlist] headerStateV2=... You can use following line for [ID]-[Title]-[Duration]-[Album] header and then you can customize it in VLC: headerStateV2=@ByteArray(\0\0\0\xff\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\0\xff\xff\xff\xff\x1\0...

I don't get it. My source directory is CDs, under that is artist, The Cars, then under that is albums, then under that is songs. That is how a LIBRARY should look. When I open a folder CDs, all I get is a list of songs with alblum art pictures not a tree like in media monkey. A play list is a list ...

is it possible to mark posts / topics as solved? Couldn't find how to do it?

fix or workround for the problem: [url]https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=146498&p=495421#p495414[/url] It's been reported that setting "subdirectory behaviour" to "expand" (tools/preferences/all settings/playlist) seems to provoke scanning. I'd tried this pr...

This solved it for me in 3.0.8 Preferences - show all settings -> playlist -> Subdirectory behaviour - Expand @weirddave thanks i actually had found that setting too - that revealed the subfolders for me (i.e. the tree) but I thought it hadn't parsed the contents. I've just retested 3.0.8 from a fu...

bit the bullet and did a full uninstall / reinstall of vlc (deleting cache, etc). Deleted any folders i found as well. installed 64bit 3.0.8 problem still exists. Also reminded me that the column movement in media library (artist, album, track, etc) is broken - the "track" column cannot be...

hi all I posted basically the identical issue here ([url]https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=150579[/url]) I wasn't able to find this thread of yours until I'd googled the problem yet again (using a different search phrase). Are people still experiencing the problem of what i call no...

Ok i think it's a bug. Did yet another google on the topic (i did search before posting in the first place). Found this after trying a different search phrase: VLC apparently hasn't parsed subfolder content when a folder is added to the media library, since v3.0.4 [url]https://forum.videolan.org/vie...

Alternatively, if there's a link to the answer to my question, happy to have that and pursue myself.

The wiki on adding content to the media library was written in 2009 and doesn't make any mention of parsing. Page was apparently modified Jan 2019.

bump

just need to know if described behaviour is as expected - seeming difference between v2.x and 3.x


Thanks,

Gary

Hi all Just moved to vlc 3.0.8 (due to the recent security fixes). Was previously using 2.2.8 successfully on win 7 64bit It used to be that if i added a new folder to the media library, VLC would parse / scan the folder straight away i.e. I'd be able to search for individual tracks (i've a artist &...

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/13704 thanks very much for this. I read the ticket - such a shame it will not be fixed in VLC v3 I just rolled back to v2.2.8 (clean install) and first column moves fine. I've not had problems with other 2.2.x versions either in moving first column. I've added c...

hi all Congratulations on the public release of vlc v3. I've installed eagerly! I performed a clean install (as it's a major version release), having deleted all old preferences and cache (and uninstalled previous version). Currently running the 64bit VLC on 64 bit win 7 home premium. ISSUE: I can't...

Installed VLC 1.1.4 and the problem remains. It doesnt matter what Album CD I try, its the same regardless. hey Hardcore. I'm using build 1.1.4 on vista 32bit and audio CDs are fine. Autoplay works perfectly. I've tried both my optical drives - flagged as D:\ & E:\... with D: being an LG DVD bu...

Thanks for the quick reply, VLC_Help :) As a related issue, I guess you cannot rip a whole CD through VLC at one go? You can, but it requires some additional steps. Is there a link (e.g. to a wiki or forum thread) that describes the process? I've also tried ripping from a file (e.g. .wav) to .flac -...

hi all. Ripping to FLAC - is this functionality broken? In summary, I've been checking out VLC's "Convert / Save" abilities and have been able to rip a single audio CD track to .wav, .mp3 & .ogg successfully. However, when I try using the "Audio - FLAC" profile, basically not...

Known issue. VLC tries to autoload .txt files as subtitles. I sent patch about this to mailing list, but people didn't want to merge this. Hi VLC_help Thanks for the update. I'm not sure what this mailing list is? Do you mean you've got a patch but people have decided not to add it to a new build (...

hi kr Don't worry - the same thing happens to me. I cannot explain why but I simply know that this happens (I'm using VLC 1.1.4 on vista 32bit... but it has happened to me with earlier versions as well). I have a lot of internet radio DJ mixes and I keep the track listings for the mixes in .txt file...

I was using the 19th Aug build of 1.1.4, just downloaded latest 21st Aug build (the .exe from here http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 0821-0203/ ) and I am only getting one thing partly working compared to you on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit: What Works: * if you use "open disc"...

Thanks Gazza. I'll wait for 1.1.4. Cheers! :mrgreen: Hi bloggs. If you wish, you could try the test build that I downloaded. It is very important you realise these are development builds and work-in-progress (I.e. are not supported, could be unstable, etc). Please read this to be aware of what I me...

Hi bloggs / hardynicks I've just posted a fuller statement here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=79145 However, in summary, using vlc 1.1.4, audio CDs do play. The only thing that doesn't work is choosing a single track through Explorer or using the "open file" function....
