The VideoLAN Forums

I see no other posts in this gnu/linux-related forum, and a post in another (not linux) sub-forum only shows that jamendo.lua should be 'modified' by the user -- but unfortunately the other post didn't mention where this file is, in the filesystem, and searching from terminal, gives only this: ~ > l...

Thanks for the extra help. I had 'jumped the gun' before seeing your message -- being anxious to see how your extension works -- and as a result, I already had this, when I saw your reply: /usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/ now contains the file, equalizer-custom-presets.lua -- the name I selected for you...

Perhaps [the] VLC Extension [named] Lua script could help you. [Reply edited slightly, to show how I'm understanding the meaning. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.] Great, thanks so much for taking the time to do all this. I assume this may be run internally, without leaving or restarting VLC. I als...

One can easily use two different configuration files for vlc ... Many thanks, that is perfect. I would know which speakers are to be used at the beginning of a new session, so these suggestions are both fine. For me, the second method is best since any other configuration settings, not involving th...

... Surely allowing multiple custom presets will be good. But I doubt they will implement it. :shock: Wow, what a surprise, in an otherwise very capable program! Then, no one has thought of a better work-around, than mine? Then, from your reply, I gather this need is not unique -- so it's likely ot...

What's the correct way of being able to switch between two different sets of custom-programmed equalization curves, each one for a different loudspeaker system, each with different speaker response and room acoustics? The objective is to get a reasonably flat audio frequency response, in each situa...

Thanks!

This thread seems to be the final, definitive and most accurate instruction set for making equalizer changes persist, and I'm trying to follow it: It's on this page that the ticks have to be placed ... Unfortunately, PhredE hasn't been active for about two years, so much appreciated if someone who s...

Thanks very much. In looking at the beginning of the thread (I didn't start it) I'm sure many VideoLAN users will (also) be intrested in what you've posted. I will try this out as soon as I get onto the netbook with Linux and VideoLAN (that's where I'm setting it up) and then get back to you if ther...

To make the settings permanent, ... then use vlcrc file. I'm assuming what you mean by "use" is this: open vlcrc in the text editor, insert a string after the variable you want to change, then save and close, open VLC and you should expect to see the equalizer sliders where you want them. ...

:?: Please expand on your comment, as it appears in the quoted section of this post. Since (you said) it should work, I need to know why what I did, did not. Installed version 1.0.6 (Goldeneye) pre-compiled for Ubuntu Lucid :oops: Possibly the above quote contained the answer to the question? I hav...

The follow-up question I had posted here is no longer relevant, for the reasons in the following post.

Much appreciated if you could respond to the two points followed by the " :?: 's" to clarify the following sentence: It should work with current version. That sounds most encouraging, but let me echo back what I said, and what I understand that you're saying: I am trying to get the setting...

The download page for GNU/Linux versions seems to have no identification by version number? Is this possible? Or, having asked this much, is there a roadmap somewhere on the VideoLAN site? I've just been in a discussion about the equalizer not holding its settings between sessions, and from what I s...

Perfect! Much appreciated as I'm not (yet!) so adept as searching through the file structure, with GNU/Linux. It seems all the variables to hold session-to-session settings are present, but are Commented-Out with hash-marks. However, when I try to uncomment the line that should hold the frequency-re...

Sorry, I should have metioned this installation is in Ubuntu. A search of the entire file system didn't give any 'hits' for a folder named 'vlcrc', unfortunately. Could you give some suggestions for a similar path, in Ubuntu?

Hmmm -- is this source code, or a plain-ASCII configuration file that may be easily modified?

Help! Can't find the file. A search of the entire file system for equalizer_presets.h came up with nothing. I (think I) have show hidden files turned 'on'.

This is on v1.0.6 (Goldeneye).

This is the full path?
[vlc.git] / modules / audio_filter /

Thanks Ron

That's great, thanks! With the exact file name it shouldn't be too hard to find its location, for editing. With programs where I can do this through the GUI, I find that once the equalizer is set for some situation, I rarely keep changing it. So adjusting the settings with a text editor shouldn't be...

I have never seen so many threads on the same subject. Seems to be a real need for this?

Would someone please post the directory and file where the fixed equalizer settings are stored, so we can 'hack' it while we're waiting?

It seems this would be of interest to more than one person.
