I thought I'd follow up in case someone else is having the same problem. I installed VLC 2.1.3 and it had no effect on the problem - nothing still happened for either "Media Information" or "Codec Information". So I got fed up and reinstalled, this time checking "delete pref...

Installing VLC 2.1.2 initially solved the problem (and IIRC, I believe it worked in VLC 2.1.0 initially as well). However, it's stopped working, so it again does nothing in VLC 2.1.2. So, I think there's an issue where "codec info" starts out working after install, and then stops working a...

You're complaining about the red hat on the VLC cone? You know, the red hat like a Playboy centerfold might wear in a holiday photoshoot? Yeah, that's a real oppressive religious symbol.

Tried several different videos and nothing happens when I try to show "Media Info" or "Codec Info". I remember this working with older versions of VLC. I have no reason to believe this is Windows specific, but I'm running Win7 x64.

That will work on the currently playing video, but as I stated originally, I need a solution that's permanent, so I can click around in explorer and not have the 2nd window pop up. If I apply your fix, it's lost if I click on a different video and then back to the original (where I already applied t...

When I click around in explorer opening videos, sometimes I'll hit one that opens a second window in VLC labeled "3d" output. I'm not talking about direct3d or hardware acceleration. I'm talking about a second window presumably intended for some sort of 3d glasses hardware I don't have. (V...

OK, with the advent of VLC 2.0, we now have a sort of working docked playlist. That is, I can see the video, but I can only resize if horizontally. I can't make it bigger than a small postage stamp size vertically. I actually see the cursor change to drag cursor when I cross the top border, but i ca...

I'm reporting a bug with the docked playlist.

I'm well aware I can undock it, but I want a docked playlist that works.

VLC Player 1.1.5, Windows 7 64-bit. [Posting in general forum since I have no evidence this issue is OS specific.] When I configure for a docked playlist, then select playlist, I see the playlist ... ONLY, even if move the playlist over to the right of the VLC window. I can hear the audio, but where...

I don't think so, Outpost is reporting that vlc.exe is attempting to listen to a port - localhost:loopback, TCP:49291 where the port itself varies slightly but is always in the low 49000 range. If I allow that, then I see an attempt at an outbound connection to the same port on the loopback connecti...

My firewall is indicating that VLC player is trying to open an *inbound* port or act as a server
when I do an update check. Most software just opens an outbound connection to their
update site. What's going on with this strangeness in the update check?
