I've found the custom cropping and aspect ratio setups, but these only add new ones. I want to reduce the list in both, since there are some, like 2.21:1 which I never use. Is there a way to do that? Also, there's a http request, ?command=aspectratio&val=<newratio> with status.xml, but I cannot ...

I finally discovered the problem here. When I request from VLC the current playing file which is on my a: drive, it returns a value with file:///a:/.... which uses all forward slashes. Because the file: part was relatively new (it wasn't there when I first wrote my program some 5-8 years ago, not su...

re: Hitchhker, yes, you found where I originally got the file, but my problem is that ANY file I happen to have won't play. I have a vlc remote app I wrote that can save the position and file name currently playing, and I want to restore to that file/time later. So, I am using the http interface. Bu...

Although many users desire to use a password free http interface (as password requirement breaks a lot of vlc interface code) the developers insist that vlc be protected with a password. They call this desire "crazy". Even if you have a dedicated media computer that is firewalled OFF the i...

Now, the new versions insist on a password. Is there a way to override this? I don't need any security, it's a home lan and I'm the only user.

I'm running w2k with multiple monitors. The output on any of my screens is somewhat grainy, and streaky, whereas with win media player or powerdvd etc. this is not the case. So, I tried using the various options, esp. the deinterlace as words like blend sounded promising, but these usually cause my ...

I'm running windows 2000 pro, and I have a multi monitor system. I don't know if the multi monitor is a factor, but thought I should mention it. I've experienced numerous cases where it freezes. For example, if I pause, and move the window to a different monitor it freezes when I hit play, sometimes...
