The VideoLAN Forums

Is it somehow possible to have multiple completely independent configurations? I would like to configure one of them to be a small audio player (to finally replace Winamp), and the other configuration would be the "all purpose" player. The "audio player" should always look/behave the same no matter what I do to the other configurations. I managed to get something like this by using the --config command line option, so e. g. volume is stored seperately for every config. But preferences like "docked playlist" still affect all instances.

Indeed, some interface prefs are shared.
The only easy way is to change the %appdata%/vlc files.
