Subtitle bug:
if there is a line in a txt file like this

{0}{66}{y:i}W poprzednich odcinkach:

Then this symbol {y:i} is showing, insted of making subtitle in italics

Suggestions:

1. Movie Reader
- support for IVONA and Expressivo
http://www.ivona.com/?set_lang=en

like

3. Automatic Playing of movies divided to parts and series (playing episodes 1 by 1)

4. Intelligent subtitles - which consists of analyzing and controlling the length of the text line and setting the time of its display. With this feature, you will no longer miss any text while watching a movie.
It often happens that the subtitles go too fast, one after another, and we cannot reach the end of each sentence, without having finished a speed reading course.
This feature effectively resolves this issue.

5. Automatic download of subtitles - support for Opensubtitles.org
- sending and downloading subtitles to the film (opensubtitles)
- rating of the subtitles (opensubtitles)
- different types of subtitles - transparent or translucent subtitles
- Autodownload of subtitles after starting a movie from local HD
- Size and location of subtitles settable with a mouse.

6. Playback of RAR files (just click on the file Title.r01 or right mouse button while standing on a RAR file, choose a movie from the menu: Open with ... )
- Easy setting VLC as default DVD player/Audio CD player

7. Youtube Browser/Searcher
- in player there should be search bar and button for Youtube service and we can search and play what we want
- support for wrzuta.pl - playing music/video saving music/video to the HDD
- uploading materials to the wrzuta/youtube

8. Community Library:
A library with access to the internet TV, podcasts, internet Radio and more (sth. like in Winamp)
URLS will be added and rated by users
- Internet radio - divided by countries, type etc. woth possibility to recording
- internet TV with access to the program, recording etc.

Some new ideas:

1. Anti Tearing option - Tearing is one of the most frequent problems happening with home theater computers. Almost invisible on still pictures, this becomes very annoying on panning scenes.

* It works only if the output is set to "VMR9 Renderless" or "EVR Custom pres."
* In this mode Windows cannot display either context menus or dialog boxes. To open the options window or to load another video file, you first need to close the current video using the "Ctrl+C" system shortcut.

5. Play Broken AVI Files

AVI files can't be played if the index is broken, or if the file isn't completely downloaded. This is because the index is located at the end of the file. VLC should provide possibility to view files with broken indexes or that are still being downloaded.

6. Convenient Playlist

If you run a video file and there is already a file with a similar name in the directory, it will be automatically added to your playlist. VLC should have a similar playlist format as M3U, PLS, ASX and you can also include and edit different media formats on that playlist as well. It should be easy to create and edit your own multimedia playlist

Screen capture allows you to take a screenshot of your video directly from VLC Player. Using the Burst Capture feature, you can take continuous screenshots up to 999 shots.

BUGS:
- Problem with Polish symbols in VLC installer like "Ś" in "wyczyścić" (instead of "ś" there is some strange symbol)
- Versions 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 can't use subtitles, and it is not possible to use them! I use Polish language subtitles maybe it's the problem with the specific language subtitles ?
I don't know but I went back to 1.1.5 and all is fine

Subtitle bug:
if there is a line in a txt file like this

{0}{66}{y:i}W poprzednich odcinkach:

Then this symbol {y:i} is showing, insted of making subtitle in italics

Ok, this is worked-around, the symbol is hidden now.

Support for download /upload of subs also from:
http://www.bsplayer-subtitles.com/
http://www.subtitles.com.br/

Support for Remote Control:

Some New Suggestions
- Changing Language without restart of VLC


There is a nice OpenSource Player
MPlayer
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html
And it's Windows version SMPlayer
http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/downloa ... tr_lang=en

It's quite similar to VLC but in some aspects better, as it's opensource I think some features should be added to VLC
Configurable subtitles. You can choose font and size, and even colors for the subtitles.
# Seeking by mouse wheel. You can use your mouse wheel to go forward or backward in the video.
# Video equalizer, allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and gamma of the video image.
#Filters. Several filters are available: deinterlace, postprocessing, denoise... and even a karaoke filter (voice removal).
#Audio and subtitles delay adjustment. Allows you to sync audio and subtitles
#Preferences dialog. You can easily configure every option of SMPlayer by using a nice preferences dialog.

Preferences dialog is really cool, and it's should be used in VLC, settings are better categorized and well described, so it's a advantage over VLC
Most options should be available in VLC (which are in SMP), like:
a) choosing of drives
b) setting of performance
c) special settings for subtitles
d) Easy interface config like
- amount of last open files
- icon, styles, and gui choosing from a ready sets
- language
- size and position
- seeking (jumps)
- instances
- floating control
e) mouse and wheel functions
f) special advanced options
g) saving settings for files, video and audio settings


General features like:
a) more speed and jumps settings to choose (from the play menu)_
b) Video Menu
- flip, mirror
- rotate
- filters
- zoom, etc..
c) Audio Menu
- filters
- delay, set delay
- equalizer

d) Subtitles Menu
- delay
- size
- previous/next line

nice suggestions

Many of these features are already in VLC, like:

You can choose font and size, and even colors for the subtitles.

Seeking by mouse wheel.

Auto-loading of subtitles file

Playing all files in current directory

Desktop Playback Mode

Screen capture allows you to take a screenshot of your video directly from VLC Player

and subtitle editing functions are better suited for subtitle editing tools, not for media players.

but not all

It would be nice to set the subtitle font separately for each language (or at least each language group).

Sometimes I watch chinese films with chinese subtitles and sometimes with english but the fonts that look good in english look bad in chinese and vice versa.

Option to not show again error message (i've got error msg about sound problem with some videos)
Option to start VLC with system
Option to start viewing videos in repeat and random modes
Option to start VLC as directx wallpaper
Option to delete all assignet key bindings
Option to bring all default key binding settings
Option to set amount of secs by specified jump (medium, small, very small etc.) while using key binding
Audio Player View (to present VLC like Winamp/Aimp)
Stick windows by moving it (if I move playlist window to the right side it will stick with player) with option to size/resize window

Fix: - fix assigning right arrow button (i've got problem in actual version)

BUG:
I can't set "right (Arrow)" to any option I would like to set it as small jump forward and it's impossible after pressing "right" the key shortcut is same like previously
please fix it

Suggestions:
Add options to clear all shortcuts
*Rotation of the screen: 90, 180 and 270 degrees.
*A new playback file formats as "webm" and "bik".

Built in converter:
I would like to see VLC as All-in-One DVD ripper and video conversion tool.
video converter should converts almost all formats including DivX, XviD, MOV, RM, RMVB, MPEG, VOB, DVD, WMV, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, 3GP, FLV.

Youtube Downloader (and others) Just the example:
Just install 'YouTube to VLC' and immediately two buttons, both entitled "YouTube to VLC", will appear in your browser on Youtube.com. Click on either of them, and the program will ask which format to use to write the selected film on disk:
Then the program for downloading from YouTube will start - clicking on "Download selected" will start the download of all selected films.
It should work for IE, Firefox, Chrome.

There may be other services added like:
wrzuta.pl (plenty of music)
vimeo.com

*Add support for plugins/addons, live updater (to the vlc and codecs and other things), addon manager which give possibility to download skins, new plugins etc... (like in firefox)

I have installed the newest VLC player and VLC Direct on mine Android device
While I want to stream from PC to mine mobile phone a video in mkv format than vlc crashes with error about library etc.
I can't find the log file to show it here
Where I can find it ?
There is problem with sending log file to you!
I think that's the bug too.
Please fix this

Use gdb wit VLC debug builds if you want proper crash info. Run-time log can be seen in Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2)

Could you add that kind of setting :

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/upl ... shot17.png

for an easy and clear file type association.

403 Forbidden if directly clicked from forum (ref url issue).

There is a file association thingy but it is broken.

This is the image they wanted viewed:



VLC file associations can be configured in Windows 7 as shown here:



Go to Default Programs in Control Panel then to Set Default Programs.

I think if something like what is shown in the first image was implemented into VLC, it would be preferable to have it like it is in 7zip because there is a lot of space left on the SMPlayer and Windows pages.

I've played rmvb file i had crash but it's impossible to send log file
There is something not correct please fix bug report sending

Please fix key configuration with arrows (to allow use arrows) and when there is confict a proper message should appear (why we can't set it)

Suggestions:
*Set of jump period
*Audio and subtitles delay adjustment. Allows you to sync audio and subtitles.
*Filters. Several filters are available: deinterlace, postprocessing, denoise... and even a karaoke filter (voice removal).
*Seeking by mouse wheel. You can use your mouse wheel to go forward or backward in the video.
*Add Built In Addons browser - downloading addons like in firefox
*Add extensions
* Stick playlist (when we move window with playlist we may stick it to right or left side end at the edge it docks using fragment of screen and movie is quite smaller)
*Creation of minidump when MPC HC crashes.

My suggestions:

Add InstantMuxer
Using this feature, you can cook yourself a DivX / XviD file with subtitles in it. Insert the movie file to your DVD player and enjoy the original soundtrack with subtitles in your language at the bottom of the screen. The whole process takes an instant. Do not try to verify whether the subtitles appear on your computer because they don't. Watch the movie with subtitles on the stationary equipment that this feature is made for.

Add CoverFlow - It allows the creation of 3D menus in a movie We recommend it for bookmarking favorite scenes in a movie or, for example, as a friend's wedding movie decoration.


Add MovieEditor - Add cover, subtitles and review into one movie file
If you already have a cover on HDD downloaded, you can click 'Insert from a file'. You can also try to get a cover from IMDB
For those who want to sign the file or add their www can do this by editing the temporary entries: 'Your nickname' and 'Your community site link' and typing their data there
Support for CoverFlow in this function

Cd/DVD Burning function
- burn movie into the dvd format
- burn data



Automatic shutdown after watching a movie.
Automatic switching off of the monitor after watching a movie.
AutoResume - resume watching the movie from the point where we finished.
OSD - On Screen Display.
Zoom in full screen mode.
Repeat function.

Playback options:
-enlarge the picture through truncation of edges
-set the forward/back keys - value in seconds
-turn off the mouse cursor in full screen mode
-keep aspect ratio on manual widening
-adjust the window size to the movie size
-autorun of the next part of the movie, if it is in several files
-load the last used playlist on startup

Future other features:
- Built in addon browser - you can download there skins (automatically installed into VLC) and plugins
- plugins support

Some are already in VLC.

Problably youre right there is possibility that I haven't found them yet
But I tried

In VLC 2.0
In File aasociations menu
if you uncheck category (e.g. audio files) then items in this category don't uncheck automatically the same if you check category (then all types inside should be checked)
Windows XP SP3

The file association menu in Preferences is broken, don't use it.
