new Version is horrible

Postby sad_user » 07 May 2021 11:01

Just downloaded the new version of VLC, I wish I had not, but I had to because every program I had would open VLC's media center when clicked on.

This new version is even worse I click on a video file and all my video files start showing up on the home page. This is a nightmare for parents!

So I go into the setting and tell it to ignore those folders and it doesn't play the video now.

Its been over 20 years and I have never had an issue with Video Lan but I can not use this.

So I cam here to see if there are older versions of VLC I can download?

If not I guess I will just have to go with something else.

AFAIK the stable update has no such changes
:!: If you want your problem to be solved :
* First read troubleshooting guide VSG:Main
* Always provide verbose LOGS ! (command line or from gui)
* Always check your issue against a developer build from Nightly Build of VLC
* Tell us when your problem is solved !

Are you talking about VLC 4 ?
