Keeping VLC preferences with update to latest VLC release

Postby tl7 » 30 Jun 2016 22:41

Is there a recommended procedure to backup my VLC custom preferences before upgrading the the latest release? I have not had good luck with this previously and would like to avoid resetting all of my custom preferences post-update.
TIA...

Make a backup of the whole %APPADATA%\vlc folder.

Installing VLC 2.2.4 clobbered my preference customizations. Your suggesting was a timesaver - thanks!
