	~~''' Windows '''~~

	~~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.<br>~~

	~~Go to '''Start Menu''' -> '''VideoLan''' -> "'''Reset VLC media player~~ preferences and cache ~~files'''" <br>~~

	~~You should restart VLC then.~~


	~~'''Linux / Unix'''~~

	~~You have to launch a terminal and execute '''vlc --reset-config''' and VLC should start with settings reset.~~


	~~'''Mac OS X'''~~

	~~You have 3 options:~~
	* If you still have VLC's disk image you downloaded to install it: it includes a script called "Reset Preferences", which allows you to do exactly that. Just launch it, click OK and you're done.
	* If you can still launch VLC, go to the "Preferences" dialog in the VLC menu. It includes a "Reset All" button. Click it and confirm the dialog. VLC will reset and relaunch.
	* Alternatively, reset VLC manually by removing a folder called "org.videolan.vlc" and a file named "org.videolan.vlc.plist". Both are stored in ~/Library/Preferences - use "Go To Folder" within the Finder's "Go" menu to show this folder.


	~~'''iOS'''~~

	~~Delete the app within SpringBoard and re-download it from the App Store to fully reset its media library and settings.~~

	~~== VLC's configuration file ==~~

	If VLC still 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.~~

	~~''Here are 3 examples about how your path now can be, which are grabbed from: http://www.videolan.org/support/faq.html ''<br>~~

	~~'''Linux / Unix'''~~
	~~<pre>$(HOME)/.config/vlc/vlcrc (v0.9.0 and above), $(HOME)/.vlc/vlcrc (v0.8 and older) </pre>~~
