HOW DO YOU SAVE EQUALIZER PRESETS IN VLC?????

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Total lack of common sense.

We are still waiting for your help... Please google Open Source, this would help you a lot.

I don't code anymore.
Now I tell coders how to code properly.
That's what I did.

No, you insulted people.
You gave a "you should do this", and did not give any coding advise.
You think you are smart, and yet, you know nothing...

Hi,

I'm using an old version 0.8.6d because in my humble opinion (as an over-the-hill developer of 30 years) it is better quality and more reliable compared to the more recent versions. Although this old version has fewer codecs, its very basic user interface has a decent font and graphics, the sound quality is good, it doesn’t crash like the new buggy versions, and last but not least - you can adjust all Equalizer sliders and save all your changes by simply going into Preferences and clicking Save before exiting the program.

Not only are the more recent versions unreliable, they have lost functionality that worked years ago in the old versions. It’s a great pity that this software product is slowly going down-hill.

Hey I've got the trick for this thing called 'equalizer settings on VLC".

-on VLC 1.8.8 version press Ctrl+P to go on Preferences settings (Tools, Preferences)
-on the bottom left at "Show settings" choose "All"
-in left panel choose Audio > unfold (Audio > Filters) > press Filter and choose "Equalizer with 10 bands"
-in the left panel click on "Equalizer" (Filters, Equalizer)
-in the "Bands gain" label type the value for equalizer:
ex. -0.40, 0, 0.80, 2.70, 4.00, 4.20, 0.60, 2.10, 6.50, 6.50 > 10 bands
and "Global gain" > 10.00 or less
-in the bottom right click "Save".

That's all folks!

King Regards,
Cristian Tudorache.

Thank you Cristian - that's perfect.

Wow, this is amazing! From where have you learned all of these? I've been searching about equalizer presets and I've always failed. Now it's great to know that my search is over. But do you mind to explain further about the Bands gain? I cannot further understand.

No, but it needs time to be coded though

4 years later . . . . . . . . .

Is it that hard to dump the value's to a ini?

+1 for a save EQ settings feature!

FYI: I implemented equalizer presets in VLC for Mac about 3 months ago and they are going to be part of VLC 2.1 (as well as presets for video and audio filters).

I finally found THE RIGHT VERSION OF NIGHTLY BUILD(2.0.6) that remembers your saved eq and compressor presets, after exiting, when opening a file from the windows explorer, and everything. It took me A LONG TIME to finally find one that wasnt buggy and actually remembers the presets. Just go here http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D, or google "vlc nightly builds" and make sure to get the latest version of 2.0.6 . This is important, heres a link for 32 bit windows exe http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... -win32.exe If you dont know how to save presets, goto Tools > Preferences then click "All" on the bottom left, then Audio > Filters and you should figure it out from there. Hopefully this helps, I had to find the solution myself with lots of trial and error. Every version seems to have different bugs where one setting doesn't save, or saves until you open a file directly from windows explorer and not through the VLC open dialog.

Yea, it is ridiculous to use excuses as "it takes time to code"... For someone who is familiar with vlc code, this feature should'nt take more than a few minutes to code. come on guys

[fkuehne]

Patch for Windows is welcome. I did my part for the Mac.

[XweAponX]

I think I've asked about this as well, I have a preset I make that works for my Audio system and I'd like to save it. Is there any way to modify the existing presets, maybe put mine in there?

[fkuehne]

This is not possible with current releases of VLC, unless you want to edit VLC's source code to add your new preset. As said, this will change in VLC 2.1 for Mac. So far, not for VLC on Windows, Linux or BSD, though.

This is how you do it. Fiddly, but works: http://www.stufinnis.co.uk/vlcequalizersave.html

Tried this and it works like a charm! Thanks for the fix!
