Thanks Remi. That gave me a little to look into. I haven't compared how VLC & other players control starting volume level (like SMPlayer) - on Linux using Pulse audio. I compared Pulse audio (showing v8.0 is installed) info shown for VLC & SMP - on the same vid. On the surface, it appears Pu...

Thanks. I understand most of what you wrote. Was there an answer to my problem(s)? Was "cannot not" an intentional double negative, or typo? 1) VLC won't allow setting an always start at Volume xx%. It only uses the last volume setting when the last video or VLC was closed. 2) There's no p...

Mint 18.1 wants to upgrade Mesa - OpenGL, but says VLC will be uninstalled. Don't quite understand - Synaptic shows installed VLC is 2.2.2+git20170721+r59033+56~ubuntu16.04.1, but VLC Help>about shows 2.2.7. Apparently installing OpenGL 2 doesn't like VLC or vice versa? Anyway, most discussions I've...

I read several bugs in trac about VLC and remembering volume - or not, in Linux. For some it restarted at 100%; for others it restarted at 0%, when they wanted the last volume. My problem is I want it to start at 0, but it starts at the last volume. It ignores "volume_save=0" (Boolean). I'...

A couple of VLC prefs are hard to find in the prefs menu. Some are seemingly in an unrelated prefs menu section. A couple of prefs that should ? be near each other are located in very different sections. Like prefs for Snapshots & for Recording. * Shouldn't the prefs label be, "Record ing d...

YT vids have stopped playing for me in VLC 2.1.5 portable (32 or 64 bit ver) in Vista x64. The youtube.lua file was updated 10 days ago. Check http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua;hb=HEAD. what must one do with the page of code at the quoted link? Copy the...

Thanks to you both. Thanks for the search tip. Not used to seeing search function built into a preferences UI. For settings as common as this, probably shouldn't need to use 'Search.' In either Simple or All view - what do "Allow only one running instance" & "Use only one instance...

VLC 2.1.5 portable in Vista. There are 2 views for preferences / "show settings" : Simple & All. I thought All meant all. But some settings appearing under simple mode don't appear in All mode. Like under Interface Settings, "Allow only one instance" & "Use only one ...

Thanks Remi,
Do the nightlies not create or modify any existing registry entries?

After all, they are .exe packages, not zip.

Hi,
Wondered if nightlies (like v2.2) are generally available as portable versions (for Windows)?
Or if there's a way to "make" them portable?
Thanks.

Thanks. that option simply exists here Not sure what that means. Do you mean this option has no "Browse To" option to change locations? Or guessing, like me? " Screen shot ?" Do you mean, "Are you talking about Screen shot output location," ... or, post a screen shot? I...

I can't find a place in preferences, to allow browsing to select a folder location to store recorded sections out of vids? Is it missing in latest version, or do you have to copy / paste a path to change it? Under Input / Codecs, there's a box, "Record directory or file name." No browse to...

EDIT 10/7/2013: The problem described below in VLC 2.1.0 seems related to the preference under Playlist, for " Auto Start ." In v2.0.8 & probably earlier, if Auto Start is unchecked , R clicking files in Explorer & using "Send To," they don't play automatically, but work ...

I appreciate your work & contributions. Is it possible you're interpreting comments too literally? Like when someone replies, "works for me," that doesn't mean (literally) they tried every type of Flash vid, or even the same ones that don't work for another user. I should have said, &q...

OK, that makes sense - sort of. That if save files in playlist is turned off, it's still putting the current file in the playlist, that probably then is deleted, after closing VLC. If you're concerned about changing your user name (Re: your sig) - sometimes forum admins - not necessarily this one - ...

Question - why is the path of either youtube.lua or youtube.luaC under "playlist?"

I'm sure I don't understand, but wouldn't that indicate it's only working for files in a playlist? What if one doesn't save files to the playlist?

Thanks User124985 for your contribution. As soon as those w/ more coding knowledge than me have a look at it & give it the "OK," or better yet, implement the changes, I'll try it. Point of Distinction: For one to make a statement (explicit or implied) that NO youtube vids play, would r...

Ludrax - I'm unclear as to which statement by whom that you can't confirm. You can / can't play youtube vids on (which) x64 stable version / nightly build? Also, to both Jean-Baptiste Kempf & Ludrax (or any others ) : Can you provide a few youtube links that DO play - as of now; and which specif...

I'm still not able to play youtube vids, even in VLC Win 32 nightlies. Received no suggestions. Maybe the message (debug) log will help someone identify problem(s). NOTE: replaced "h-t-t-p:/-/w-w-w.youtube..." with some "**" because forum only allows 4 URLs in a post- even if pas...

Is the latest Win 32 pre version playing youtube vids just fine for others & I'm the only one w/ problems?

Any special settings to change that makes it work? When I enter URLs, not even a flicker. Using http for URLs - not https.

OK, will give 32 bit nightlies a try to see if fix problem of playing youtube vids. EDIT: did try the latest 2.1pre1 (6/24/2013) win32. In Vista, still won't even attempt to play youtube vids. When enter the URL (ctrl + N), it blinks something in lower L of UI (maybe about caching? - too fast to rea...

I tried vlc-2.1.0-pre1-20130623-0403-win64 portable in Vista x64. Tried quite a few music vids - none worked. They were flash content. Everything I tried was http, not https. VLC doesn't do anything or give errors, after entering URL, then play. Not sure why some vids work for you & not for me, ...

Maybe it's supposed to save the last state, but if the video screen is showing when I close VLC , when reopen it, the playlist screen is displayed - even though empty. It was NOT saving the last state. That is, while it had the playlist entries mentioned, in the .ini file. It apparently saved the st...

OK. Don't know if the dev versions are available in portable. I might sometimes install dev / pre versions. Usually not - some physical limitations - quicker to extract / delete portables, as "pre" builds are usually replaced very quickly. Youtube / google is obviously constantly changing ...

As mentioned in another recent post http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=111650&p=378198&hilit=youtube#p378198 I can confirm that no youtube vids (music vids) are playing in VLC 2.0.6 / 2.0.7 - starting today. I was able to play them in 2.0.6 portable on Thur. 6/20/13, but not ...
