Won't play from file location

[DavidGZ]

Hi- I'm not a techie- so I need answers in 3rd-grade English. I love the vlc player, so much more versatile than the others, but I encountered this problem today. Tried to play a DVD, with no success- the file on the disk wouldn't show up at all. And now, I can't play anything by clicking on the file location like before. I have to open vlc player, search for the file I want, then it will play, but it's a pain in the rear playing multiple small video clips, having to search for each and every one. I did a virus scan, uninstalled and reinstalled, and the problem remains. What to do??

For DVD issue, if Windows Explorer cannot show the discs content, VLC cannot playback it.

For file opening issue, did you try restart?

Just put the desired files in one folder and set vlc as default player.
