VSG:Subtitles:Dragging

2012-01-04T18:27:10Z

Robin:

== Dragging and dropping subtitles disables pause ==

This is known issue. It will be hopefully fixed in upcoming releases.

The only solution is to either open subtitles from'''Use a subtitles file''' when you open file you want to watch or trust to '''Autodetect subtitle files''' and name the subtitles in same as the movie (for example, '''my_movie.avi''' and'''my_movie.srt''').

Robin:

== Use VLC's help documentation ==

If you can't find anything about your particular problem in the internet, you should try the function VLC has for the command line.

 

Open your command-line and write “'''vlc –help'''” in it.

You´ll now have a .TXT file created, which contains VLCs command-line options. Your screen will now show you a list, which you can browse through to find your problem.

 

If you still cannot solve your problem try to write the following in the command-line.
<pre>“vlc -p module –advanced”
</pre>

Robin:

== Is VLC legal in all countries? ==

Probably not.

Specially DeCSS module might violate DMCA (and similar laws) and some codecs would require licenses for personal/commercial use.

There haven't been any court cases related to VLC but specially companies should make sure they pay license fees to license holders if they use VLC commercially and use patented formats or codecs.

Reset Settings

2012-01-04T16:54:19Z

Robin:

== Reset to default settings ==

If your VLC player is showing a strange behaviour and you want to fix it, then reset the VLC preferences in the preferences of the application. 

Go to '''Start Menu''' -> '''VideoLan''' -> "'''Reset VLC media preferences'''" 

You should restart VLC then. If VLC doesn't want to start, you have to delete VLC's configuration file. This file is created by you, so if you want to know the exact location of it, change the available options in VLC and save the new configuration.

There is now created a new configuration file in your user directory. So the precise locations of the configuration file depends now on the type of your operating system.

== How To Start VLC Server with http Interface ==

VLC ships with a little HTTP server integrated. It is used both to stream using HTTP, and for the HTTP remote control interface. 

'''Step 1: VLC Server Preferences Settings'''

Set up the http interface details in the VLC server application: Open VLC, then select Tools > Preferences. In the bottom left corner of the window, under "Show settings", click "All".

*In the left hand menu click on the + button next to Interface. This will display three choices. Control interfaces, Hotkeys settings, and Main Interfaces. Click "Main Interfaces". Select "HTTP remote control interface".
*Click on the plus button next to "Main interfaces". This will display four settings HTTP, Qt, RC, Skins. Click on HTTP to display the "HTTP remote control interface" settings.
*Host address: Enter the port number that you want to use. Default is 8080.
*Source directory: If you have installed VLC in a different folder than the default, enter path\to\VLC\\http.
*If you are NOT using handlers or SSL certificates the setup is complete.
*Click on the Save button in the lower right hand of the window.
*If needed, edit the .hosts file in the vlc/http directory. By default only "localhost" is allowed, edit to enable other hosts.
*Exit and restart VLC

 '''Step 2: Command Line Startup'''

The VLC appplication can be run in a server or client environment. For complicated video and audio streaming on a LAN, one should consider dedicating a machine to act as the VLC server.

To start the VLC application in a server mode with the http interface automatically set, use the following command line in your desktop shortcut. This assumes the default location for installation was selected.
<pre>"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf http --intf wx

</pre>
 '''Step 3: Testing the Interface'''

From another computer, connect to the VLC server computer using your browser to the URL

http://server_ip_address:8080, such as http://192.168.0.186:8080

The Main VLC Interface page will be displayed,

See [http://wiki.videolan.org/Web_Interface Web_Interface] for additional information.

== Store streaming station presets ==

 

To use VLC as a streaming client, store your station presets under the Media Library on the Playlist panel (not the bookmarks and not the actual playlist itself).

 

*Open the playlist panel (Ctrl-L or click on the Playlist button).
*Click on the Plus button at the bottom of the panel. (A dropdown menu will appear.)
*Select "Advanced Open" from the dropdown menu. (A new panel, named Open Media, will appear.)
*Select the "Networking" tab on the Open Media panel.
*Enter the full URL of the streaming station in the Address field. e.g. http://mystation.org:8000/mystream.ogg
*Click the Enqueue button at the bottom of the panel.

== Play multiple instances of VLC ==

In version .8.5 it was easy to have multiple instances of VLC playing each with its unique stream of data.

In version .8.6x playing multiple VLC instances and different streams in each is as easy as clicking '''Settings''' -> '''Preferences''' (note this does not exist on the Mac version):

The go to '''Advanced''' (tick Advanced options to see all the options available) The untick '''Allow only one running instance.''' 

This allows users to use more than one VLC player at a time. Press '''Save '''and restart VLC. Once you've done the above you should be able to play as many VLC instances and video or audio files as you like.

In version 0.9.6 (on Windows, this may not apply to other OS's):

You must also go to '''Tools''' -> '''Preferences''' -> (set "'''Show settings'''" to "'''All'''") -> '''Advanced''', and uncheck "'''One instance when started from file'''". 

 

=== Mac OS X ===

On the Mac, running multiple instances of VLC is not supported out of the box.

As a workaround, you can create a Droplet that behaves as expected. Paste the code below into a new AppleScript Editor script and save it as an application. Launch the app to get a separate instance of VLC, or drop one or more files onto it. 

 
<pre>on run
do shell script "open -n /Applications/VLC.app"
end run
on open theFiles
repeat with theFile in theFiles
do shell script "open -na /Applications/VLC.app " & quote & (POSIX path of theFile) & quote
end repeat
end open

</pre>

VSG:Usage:MediaFile:Associations

2012-01-04T15:06:04Z

Robin:

== Messed-up file associations ==

Associating media files should be done through the VLC settings interface. Choose "Tools | Preferences " and then click on the "Set up Associations..." button. Select any file extension that you wish to open with VLC, then click "Apply". This should change all media files icons to the VLC cone, and double-clicking any of them should open VLC and immediately start playing the media.

 

If this seems to have no effect on the UI, and/or double-clicking the file icon does not start VLC, check that you have correctly set Windows preferences through "Start | Default Programs" (on Vista; see the relevant item on Windows XP or newer Windows OS; possibly this is not applicable to Windows 2000). In that UI click on "Set default programs", select the "VLC media player" item and check the description (it will usually say "All default settings for this program are active"). Then choose your own course of actions by either clicking on "Set this program as default" or "Choose default settings for this program".

 

Other ways to achieve the same effects are as follows (not really recommended). 

*'''Use Windows Explorer's context menu''' 

In Windows Explorer, right-click a file you wish to open. Click "Open With" in the context menu that pops up. Click "VLC media player" to use VLC just this once, or click "Default program..." Click the name of the program (VLC) which you want to be used to open the file. If VLC is not displayed, click Browse to locate it on your hard drive.

'''Alternatively:'''

In Windows Explorer, right-click the file you want to open with VLC. Click Properties in the context menu that pops up. On the General tab, click Change. Click the name of the program (VLC) which you want to be used to open the file.

Either of these options affects all files that have the same filename extension (the letters after the filename's period) as the file you selected. For example, if you change the program that opens goober.avi, then all .avi files will be opened with VLC. 

 

*'''Rerun the installer'''

Reinstall VLC and choose the "associate files" option when it comes up. Please note that on Vista and newer OSes this will not cure the "Windows Media Player won't go away" symptom, and you should go the "Set default program" route instead, as described above.

 

*'''Edit the registry'''

'''''Warning:''''' this instruction set is outdated and should not be used. Direct registry editing should be avoided anyway unless you're desperate and you really really know what you're doing.

'''''Warning:''''' use this technique only if you really know what you are doing! And be sure to back-up your registry first.

#Open a text editor, like Notepad (but not WordPad). 
#Copy this text below. 
#Modify the strings C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe to match your VLC installation. 
#Save as vlc.reg. 
#Execute vlc.reg (adding this data to your registry). 
#Enjoy VLC :) 

 

Text to copy: 
<pre>Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

VSG:Usage:SomethingElse:eMule

2012-01-04T14:56:06Z

Robin:

== How can I make VLC to preview my eMule downloads? ==

 

You have got two ways to do this:

Either go to your eMule temp folder and double click on a 001 part file. Then set VLC to be the defualt app.

 

Or, you can go to your eMule options and select the menu name files.

You should see something that says video player with a folder beside it. Click on the folder and then locate where the vlc.exe file is. 

For example:
<pre>C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe</pre>
After this VLC should be able to preview eMule downloads. 

 

Also look for something in your emule options that allows you to tell eMule to preview chucks first.

Set file specific brightness or contrast

2012-01-04T14:36:47Z

Robin:

== Setting file specific brightness or contrast ==

First open Command Prompt/cmd.exe. A quick way of doing this is to go to: '''Start''' >> '''Run'''. Then enter "'''cmd'''" and press Enter/OK. 

 

'''Assuming you have VLC installed, to do it in one line, you can do something like:''' 
<pre> C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe [options] FILE

</pre>
Where [options] are the commandline parameters and FILE is the location of the file you wish to play.

 

'''For a two-line method, which is potentially faster for doing multiple instances etc.:''' 
<pre>cd C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC
vlc [options] FILE
</pre>
 

'''The commandline parameters for image properties are as follows:''' 
<pre>Image properties filter
--contrast <float> Image contrast (0-2)
--brightness <float> Image brightness (0-2)
--hue <integer> Image hue (0-360)
--saturation <float> Image saturation (0-3)
--gamma <float> Image gamma (0-10)
--brightness-threshold, --no-brightness-threshold
Brightness threshold (default disabled)
</pre>
 

'''The image adjust filter needs to be enabled so use:''' 
<pre> --vout-filter adjust
</pre>
To enable it. 

 

'''Here is an example:''' 
<pre> vlc --vout-filter adjust --brightness 1.8 --contrast 1.5 FILE
</pre>

If you use WindowBlinds or similar custom skin engine, it usually breaks QT4 interface in VLC.

So either disable that engine with VLC or change VLCs GUI to something else (like skins2)
