Windows Need help setting VLC DVD app to Default. I had it default, but added another app to play a specific DVD and it stopped showing on right clicks.

First of all, I went to Settings>Apps>Default and tried sitting it there. There are a ton of ones to chose from. (.voc, .tp, .ram).

Android VLC Media player crashes on startup or halfway through parsing media.

4 Upvotes

I recently got a new phone (Samsung Galaxy S21) and I reinstalled VLC media player to listen to music. After giving it the required permissions and letting it access my music folder, it just closed.

When I reopened the app it closed after about a half second. I've tried advice I found online (clearing the cache and data, restarting my phone, etc). But the furthest I've been able to get is by uninstalling VLC, reinstalling it, letting it crash, clearing its data, and reopening it again. This will let me listen to music for about 20 seconds while it loads all of my files, but then it will crash again after getting to 60% parsing of the files.

I've​ also noticed that after crashing it loses all permissions except notifications but even after giving it permissions again it will still crash.

If anyone has a fix for this or can recommend alternative audio file players for android it would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I have (hopefully) found the issue to my problem. I tried giving access to all of my files one at a time to check if any specific album was causing the crash, it turns out that one specific file would crash VLC when it was scanned. The album was just a bunch of flac songs so I don't know why it caused the crash but after banning the files from being scanned VLC seems to work fine right now.

Windows Help with audio normalization

Upvotes

Hello, I've been running into a problem when watching movies via VLC. The Dialogue tends to be way too quiet and the loud parts tend to be way too loud. Is there any way I can fix this? I've tried the normalization feature but to no avail. Thanks.

Windows The VLC window seems a few pixels too short

2 Upvotes

I'm pretty sure this is a user error with a setting I've forgotten about, but I can't find a way to undo it. It's been this way for a week or two, and I installed v4.75 64bit a few days ago to see if that would make a difference. Nope.

The VLC window seems a few pixels too short. When I open an image, there are horizontal and vertical scroll bars that obscure the right and bottom edges, even though my view is set to Fit Image To Window.

If the image is narrower than the menu bar, then only the vertical slider shows. This makes me think it's only a height problem — plus the fact that if I drag the bottom edge down, the scroll bars will disappear (but not so if I drag an edge to the right or left).

How can I undo this unfortunately behavior? TIA.

Unable to download VLC from website

2 Upvotes

I wanted to download VLC on a macbook but everytime I went to VideoLAN's website (and the website specifically for VLC) and tried downloading VLC, I'd get either of two errors.

One I got where the web browser took too much time to connect and eventually gave up, giving the error of "[Browser] couldn't find server address", and the other error was an incorrect address report.

Had the same errors since yesterday, also used two browsers. Internet works fine so my next guess is the computer I'm using but I'm not very confident it that being the problem.

Don't really know what else the issue could be : / pls fix

How to use Bluetooth pedal with VLC on iPad?

Upvotes

So I have a video playlist that I would like to control with a foot pedal. Basically I just need the pedal to play each video. So I downloaded vlc to my iPad but cannot figure how to reconfigure the pedal to play videos. There are tutorials for vlc on a Mac but iPad has different controls and does not seem to have the hotkeys to do this. Basically nothing happens when I hit the pedal no matter the mode. Thanks
