The title says it all. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to sync subtitles in the VLC Streamer app. Is it not possible? All the online instructions I have found are for the actual VLC app, but not for the VLC Streamer app which has no speech bubble or clock icon to sync subtitles when their ...

Great! Glad to hear it! :) BTW, you can also install the Soundflower audio router for OS X and use that to route your music if you like, instead of the Jack audio router. It is up to you. Or . . . If you just get tired of having to go through so many steps in order to get the projectM visualizer wor...

Another Update: I just learned -- and have been in email communication with -- a person by the name of Mischa Spiegelmock who has just begun working on a github project to build a new standalone version of projectM for Mac OS X. I believe that he is using the 2.1.0 codebase. Here is the github URL, ...

Whoah! This is cool! If you are not happy with the 529 preset files that come with the OS X version of projectM, use the following URL to download the Milkdrop Presets zipped archive: http://milkdrop.tk/milkdrop/download/zip As a matter of clarification, projectM is actually a much improved version ...

Well, I went ahead and took the time to write up specific instructions regarding how to install the projectM standalone visualizer app on Mac OS X, along with instructions regarding how to use VLC with it. So here you go, folks: 1. Download the "projectM-jack" DMG file from this URL: https...

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I am happy to announce that after conducting some extensive online research, I have successfully installed the projectM visualizer as a standalone app on my iMac running Yosemite 10.10.3, and it works great with the latest OS X version of VLC, including the 3.0.0 nightly build. Thi...

Hello. I was wondering if there are any plans to implement the projectM visualizer in the Mac OS X Yosemite version of VLC. There is an old projectM visualizer plugin for iTunes, but I never use iTunes, and the plugin no longer works anyway, because iTunes must now be run in 64-bit mode, while the p...

Wow! Really? It was so long ago when I came across the page where I saw those commands mentioned, that it is possible that I got it wrong, or remembered it wrong. In fact, I don't even remember there being keyboard commands on that page to speed up or slow down the audio. Would you happen to have a ...

Quite some time ago, I discovered the usefulness of the "g" key command and the "h" key command. My memory isn't the best at my age, so to help me remember what they each do, I call them the "[G]o slower" key -- for when subtitles run ahead of the actual audio stream --...

Actually, Felix, I never mess with the development branch anymore, because I have never had success at compiling it. By development branch, I assume you mean 1.2, right? Right now I am running 1.1.5, which I compiled a few days ago.

Hello Felix and Pierre, I just downloaded the latest source from the git repository -- which I assume is probably for 1.1.4. I got as far as the second "make" -- right before the final "make VLC-release.app" -- when I got the following errors: grep: /usr/X11/lib/libX11.la: No suc...

Hello Jagwatoof. Thanks for the info. I haven't had any problems with playing an video files, but I am going to archive your comment for future reference...just in case.

Megas88, you can go to the following page, open a free account, and submit a ticket. However, I'd check first, as I wouldn't be surprised if there is already a ticket for this problem.

Thanks for the explanation, Felix. I was unaware of this, being as I normally don't use VLC to play audio files. I use Vox 0.2.7.

Felix, I continue to believe that these problems with the spacebar are isolated incidents. I am currently using the latest nightly build of 1.1.3 on my 27" iMac. In all the time that I have been using VLC -- several years now -- I have never messed with the hotkey prefs. I just checked, and the...

Hello Felix,

What is the Qt4 interface, and where can I see an example of it?

Will Mac VLC still look like a Macintosh app after you effect this change?

What is the advanced version of Lunettes?

Thanks!

Actually, the problem continues to exist in 1.1.3 as well.

Just a few more comments and questions regarding Lunettes . . . 1. The "Show Information Panel" option under the "Window" menu is not working. 2. The movie list window is still not listing everything properly. It will display a long list, starting with those titles that begin wit...

Is there a specific reason why the equalizer was removed from Lunettes?

Personally, I find it quite necessary due to the poor audio quality of some videos.

Thanks!

Hello again, I was wondering . . . Is there a way to add the "Black" style that is found under the Lunettes "Window" menu to the regular Mac version of VLC? I've been wanting this "overlay" feature in the regular Mac VLC for a long time. It is so much nicer to watch a v...

After reading some of the previous comments, I decided to take a look at XBMC. After doing so, I have to agree with "huib" who stated that XBMC is really overkill. Over the years, I have taken a look at a variety of audio and video players. For example, in addition to Apple's built-in Quic...

Hello Heffeque, Thanks for the heads up. I was going to submit a ticket concerning this issue the other day when I posted my previous message, but was being a bit lazy at the time. I guess it's a good thing that I didn't submit one, since a ticket already exists. However, I just updated the ticket w...

I would like to confirm GuitarJoa's observation. I rarely watch videos with subtitles enabled unless the audio is really bad. However, a few days ago I did in fact enable subtitles on a particular video, and tried to change the font size in VLC's basic prefs. Similar to GuitarJoa, the font size chan...

Mugloch, I am using the latest version of VLC -- 1.1.1 -- which I compiled on my iMac just two days ago, and there is no problem with using the spacebar to play/pause. I suspect that your problem is related to your computer environment, and not to VLC itself.

Jean, I've been downloading the VLC source from git and compiling my own versions of VLC 64-bit on my 27" 2.8 GHz Quad Core i7 iMac for quite a few months now, and I never experience any of the problems that some Mac users are experiencing in this forum. That leads me to suspect that at least i...
