I installed the recent VLC 2.0 version and noticed a very annoying new default (for me, even though i suspect a lot of people probably like it) - is that VLC now pauses playback when minimized

Aside from questioning whether such a substantial change of behavior is optimum without some warning, I would just really love to know how to change this default back if possible - i searched in the advanced settings a good while and still can't seem to find it (but maybe it was right in front of me?)

Thanks for any help, and if not possible, i'll just switch back to the earlier version

This new annoying feature is disabled by default. Make sure you have the latest preversion.

thanks remi

i probably didn't have the most recent build, but the version of 2.0 i got a few days ago had "pause on minimize" turned on by default with no warning, and also no clear switch (that i could find) to toggle it off

so i just went back to 1.1.11 and am happy again for now
