The VideoLAN Forums

Hello ! I would like to simply create a file into a directory whose path have accents. But unfortunately, it doesn't work. I saw in the "readme file" that there is a function which allows to convert a string from a specified character encoding into UTF-8. --> strings.from_charset( charset,...

I assume that VLC get a list of the potential subtitles (depending on the tolerance level), so I'd like to get this list via a lua extension. Is it currently possible or are there any tips to obtain the same result?

Dear all, After some unsuccessful researchs on many forums, I am forced to look for answers here. I'm developing a LUA extension and I'd like to get the subtitles autodetected by VLC to put them in a combo list for example. So my question is: how can I use VLC functions that autodetect the subtitles...

- hotkeys, keymapping (very importend for my extension )

We are a group of four students and this extension is one of our engineering school projects. Due to the constraints we've got, the extension have to handle external subtitles files only. So, for now, I'm sorry to announce you that the extension won't handle internal subs. But if some people are int...

You may be happy to know that I am establishing a solution to provide the multimedia player VLC the possibility to read and display simultaneously two subtitles tracks. In order to make the extension as accessible as possible, I would like to make a little survey which will enable me to know how muc...

Hi everyone, My project is to establish a solution to provide the multimedia player VLC the possibility to read and display simultaneously two subtitles tracks. The final goal is to allow VLC to play a movie with subtitles in two different languages. In order to make the extension as accessible as p...
