It seems to be an issue since Yosemite released because I've tried multiple version of VLC and none of them work. Also it seems Minimal View no longer exists? I tried applying various settings I found that user said would recreate Minimal View and now the video doesn't show at all, only audio. Also, everyone says ctrl+h should switch to minimal view but in Yosemite it only hides windows. I used to be a big fan of vlc but it seems that everything it much more complicated/buggy now. What's up with vlc?
But more to the point, is there anyone here who's gotten wallpaper mode to work in Yosemite? Thanks ahead of time for any help!
