Start/pause video playback on mouse click

[Stan4611]

Hello. I would like to pause video playback with a left mouse click and then resume it with a mouse click, the way other media players usually behave.
I have found only some threads which were a few years old which were pertaining this topic. I tried the vlc-pause-click-plugin but it did not work. So I would like to ask if it is possible nowadays to set up VLC media player 3.0.11 like this?

. . .if you're still needing this functionality; I found this today:

https://bestofcpp.com/repo/nurupo-vlc-p ... ideo#usage

It works as advertised and is currently maintained.

Note: the plugin needs to be enabled in TWO places within the VLC's settings once you've placed the .dll in VLC's video_filter directory (steps 3 and 4 under 'usage instructions'). . .I overlooked this when I first installed it.

I installed this on Windows 10 Version 21H1, VLC Version 3.0.12. . .without issue.

Link above does not work but I found this one.

If link does not work then go to github dot com forward slash nurupo forward slash vlc-pause-click-plugin

Make sure to use proper .dll version..... 32-bit or 64-bit.

I can confirm working with VLC 3.0.10 64 bit and Windows 10.

I have been using VLC for many years.
Keep up the great work!!
Maybe someday this will be native in VLC.

. . . when I first seen your reply my link did not work, but it seems to be working now. . .(odd, I didn't make any changes).

. . . but regardless, your link seems to point to the same project, so that's cool. I really like this one, clean and to the point, works as you'd expect it to if it had been included by VLC.
