Configuration for LIBVLC

HI,

I recently started on a new application which should be able to show 4 players at once.
Using .NET and LIBVLCSharp.
So far it is running smoothly, some minor issues.
One of them is that I can't seem to use the correct VLCRC file.
I use the add-option '--config=VLCRC' or even with a full path, but whatever I change in the settings, nothing is being picked up.
So I wonder if the config is read and even if the correct file is read.
I made changes to the file located in %appdata%... but even that did not work out.
Can anyone assist me here?

Thanks,
Ron

LibVLC does of course not use a configuration file. Application vendors cannot reasonably account for whatever custom configuration parameters the user has locally set in their VLC preferences, so LibVLC simply ignores the configuration file.

So that means that any settings as are available in the vlcrc file, should be set by using the add-option?
That is then the only way to get startup parameters set?

Thank you for the reply!
At least I know what direction to go.
