You can edit settings for VLC by clicking in the Settings menu and selecting Preferences (or by pressing Ctrl+S).

  • To save your preferences, click Save.
  • To show more options, check the Advanced box.


Configuration File

The preferences stated in the options are stored in a configuration file. There is one configuration file per user, stored at:

  • Linux and Unix: ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc since 0.9. Before it was: ~/.vlc/vlcrc
  • Mac OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/VLC
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\vlc\vlcrc
    • Windows 95/98/ME: C:\Windows\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc
    • Windows XP/2000: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc
    • Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\vlc\vlcrc
  • BeOS: config/settings/vlcrc
  • When used from the command line, sometimes there are unintended conflicts with settings in the config file; to ignore the config file, use: --ignore-config
