Saving VLC preferences

[Vidcomp]

Can VLC export and import the preference settings so that the configuration can recovered ?

[chubinou]

yes, the configuration is stored in

* ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc on linux
* %APPDATA%\vlc\vlcrc on windows

[Vidcomp]

Can they be interchanged, so that I can take windows config and use it on linux?

[chubinou]

more or less, some modules are platform specific, for instance if you force rendering to use D3D11 on Windows, it won't work on Linux
