How do I stop the file info from displaying at the start of an MP4?

Postby paulwbland » 28 Oct 2019 20:15

HI, I'm showing several files in a loop, but don't want the file info to be on screen when it starts. Searched the menus but can't work out how to turn it off.
Thanks in advance
Paul

If you're talking about the notification popup:
Menu Tools -> Preferences (Show settings = All) -> Interface -> Main interfaces -> Qt -> Show notification popup on track change
Turn if off, save then exit and restart VLC.

If you're talking about the title being displayed:
Menu Tools -> Preferences (Show settings = All) -> Video
Then on the right panel untick the "Show media title on video" option.
Save, exit and restart VLC.

It was the second one, thank you very much - works perfectly now.
(I'm using it to loop images of ghosts via a projector onto fabric to make 3D effects for Halloween.)
