Can I hide the VLC logo that appears when opening a file?

Postby quality » 17 Nov 2008 21:36

Greetings

Can I hide the VLC (cone) logo that appears when opening a file (video/audio/whatever)?
I'd prefer not to show anything.

Thank you


PS. Sorry if this topic may have been discussed again,
but the search function of the forum doesn't seem to work.

No, I'm not talking about the ActiveX plugin
but the media player itself (vlc.exe).

By default, VLC doesn't show a cone.

You're right - I noticed that that -for some strange reason (since I hadn't tweaked anything)-
in Tools>Preferences many items were showing duplicated...
So, I pressed the "Reset VLC media player preferences and cache files" shortcut from Start Menu
and it fixed the problem.

Thank you.
