Problems with vlc on MacBook Pro 2021, M1 chip, Monterey OS
Posted: 14 Dec 2021 12:26
Recently I purchased a MacBook Pro 2021, Monterey 12.0.1, M1 chip. It is my first Mac.
Downloaded the last version of VLC, vlc-3.0.16 version.
All three .dmg files (intel, arm, general binary) have been tried. The installation shows no errors. VLC operates with music from the harddisk. However, none of these three installed .dmg files permits to add more then one radio station represented by a url-address. A second radio station replaces the first one if executed in Playlist with url-address. I can't insert a station in Icecast Radio Directory.
If I look for the installation than no VLC-files or VLC-directories are found where these should be stored: \Library\Preferences, \Library\Application Support and \Library\Saved Application State. The option preferences is found in the menu when VLC is launched. But changes in Preferences are not executed.
The interface is very simple but nothing can be changed. Only pop-up menus with play, delete, select file, etc are visible.
Probably I do something wrong. Has it to do with the installation of VLC? Download additional software? Should url-address of radio station be given in a list or file? What is its format and where is this file stored? Or does my Mac block a part of the installation ?.
Is there anyone who can help or make suggestions?
Thanks a lot
