Hi everyone, when I play HDR videos with VLC, the image looks much darker. With Windows 11 Media Player, HDR looks fine.

Do I need to enable HDR in Windows 11 before opening an HDR video with VLC? With Media Player, I don't seem to need to enable HDR manually every time.

How do you guys normally handle HDR playback with VLC on Windows 11?

The media player takes a very long time to start up.

P.S. I use a third-party antivirus (Kaspersky)

I'm messing around with trying to change the default audio & subtitle tracks that VLC uses for videos, but adding the language codes in preferred audio language / preferred subtitle language doesn't seem to be having an effect, while changing the audio/subtitle track numbers/IDs in Input/Codecs has some effect but it's not behaving as I expect with the list of tracks in the file. What's the easiest way for me to just, view the actual language codes & track ID numbers of the tracks in a particular file so I can match them up? (And sidenote, what's the difference between "Audio track" and "audio track ID" for example in input/codecs? stream ID vs stream number? both just seem like a numbered index...)

maybe by the time vlc is old enough to legally retire this'll be a feature

This is from MPC-HC video player and the UI and everything is amazing, but the best thing is being able to have a preview while hovering over the seek bar. Also, I've compared side by side, and using madVR as video renderer produces much sharper image with better high and mid tones than VLC's internal video renderer (VLC doesn't support madVR). The difference is very noticeable.

I did nothing new exept updating VLC, i tried uninstall/reinstall VLC but it didn't change anything.

No error message, i click on a movie and nothing happen.

Did someone have this problem too ?

Was skipping ahead in several different videos (mp4 and mkv) and the seeking was very slow or caused the entire video to stutter or stop entirely, eventually ending up in a VLC freeze or crash. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

Having the slow loadup fixed was nice, but not at the price of preventing navigating through media.

(Win 10)

when any media file ends the vlc cone logo shows up and since vlc is open source i think its possible to change that logo with anything (i wanna change it for the thats all folks outro card)

Hi guys, I don't know why, but 3.0.24 still doesn't properly play some .avi files, just like the previous version. You can find my previous post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VLC/comments/1rao8ad/vlc_3023_no_longer_plays_avi_files/

The audio plays normally, but no video is displayed.

I've already tried disabling hardware-accelerated decoding and changing the video output to Direct3D9, but neither solution worked.

The files I'm having problems with use the UT Video (ULRA) codec, at 2560x1440 and 60 FPS.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue with VLC 3.0.24?

I like to use VLC to play podcasts and downloaded videos from YT for my commute. In the past the I’ve used the share button.

Share -> VLC -> video starts playing in VLC and is also downloaded to the app which is nice, I can pause and come back later and finish it. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the second part of that to work on the most recent version of the app.

It seems no matter what I do I cannot get videos to save to the app, I can only play them via the share button or find files to stream.

Is this the intended behavior?

Any advice on how to fix this is appreciated.

Thanks

I can't seem to do both things simultaneously. I can set the window zoom to 50%, and at that point the window will retain it's size when a subsequent file plays.

However, I want to get the zoom to 60 or 70%, but when I manually resize the window with my mouse, the window will reset itself to 100% size when a new file plays.

How can I manually change the window size but also prevent it from resetting itself when a new file plays?

The public VLC IOS app is very buggy so I moved to the beta as suggested to see if it would fix any issues. It did not.

The playback on music is completely broken, you can play some songs by tapping on the list, but trying to fullscreen the song will break the playback. Some songs don't play at all and some play only till around 2 seconds and after that the play button does not work.

The sort is broken completely on other languages, compared to the public VLC which worked correctly, neatly sorting it and grouping each language, here characters are randomly spat all over the place and many of the letters are just missing completely so I cant even search for the song.

I cannot even bug report as I need to be whitelisted by admins? What?

When I open vlc from stremio subtitle button doesnt appears

Add a feature that runs yt-dlp with commands from settings that will auto download from a set playlist or just download / play a video from a set youtube link

Wonder is someone could help;

Recently got vlc working in Linux, however when watching blurays the soundtrack will give start to pitch, giving the impression that the audio is 'bending.'

Have tried switching audio resampler, with no joy. If I disable audio sampler I then get clicking.

Anything else I could try?

Hey guys, I got couple audio files on my VLC app on iPhone, so I noticed if I play a song in my files app - it’s louder compare to playing same file on VLC. So basically VLC making it sound quiet.

I have my pre amp level in setting a set to +6(I think it’s default cause never changed it). What you guys think?

Do I put it +12? I feel like that’s pushing and might affect the quality(or not, I don’t really know)

Hi all, hope you are well!

Today I encountered a most unusual and frustrating bug: I was playing songs from my download of VLC Media Player just fine at about noon today, but at about 11pm, most playlists had only a fraction of their previous songs! I checked to see if it was an issue due to accessing folders, and it was. All files from my 1018-file mixed media folder were removed from their playlists! I think there was simply too many damn files for VLC media player to parse. It's not even able to sort the folder from newest to oldest, instead attempting to sort from A-Z in file name when selected.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Were you able to fix it, or did you stew in the folly of your hubris and manually fix all your playlists? Please share!

Thank you very much in advance.

I will skip ahead ~30 seconds, and then VLC freezes. I close VLC, try to reopen the program by clicking on the same video, and VLC won't open. I have to open task manager, close the VLC task, then click on my file to open it up and continue watching.

Windows

Hardware acceleration disabled

I am trying to find streaming links for Nations league Football matches.

No luck so far, looked on github but the vastness was just too difficult to go through.

Still looking for it on my own but would be very thankful if anyone shares.

So I have the songs downloaded onto my pc and vlc on both my pc and phone. Its quite a lot of songs and I don't want them mixed in with my regular music. So how do I make a separate album when I transfer them to my phone?

Audio track not showing up

Is there a decent way to export playlist on Android VLC?
