VLC: Portable launcher is preventing multiple instances

Submitted by snovotill on October 1, 2014 - 7:33pm

Hi, I have VLC 2.15 installed alongside VLC-Portable 2.15 but the portable version refuses to launch if VLC is already running. Can the portable launcher be convinced to launch VLC-Portable? If not then can I fake it out some way? I need to have two differently configured instances of VLC on my PC. This used to work for me not that long ago.
thanks

[Fixed] Audacity: Path to FFMPeg is not preserved

Submitted by depp.jones on October 1, 2014 - 5:13am

Audacity changed to the new FFMpeg 2.2.2 library. The entry in the audacity.cfg is always reset to "...\\avformat-52.dll" whereas with release of Audacity 2.0.6 the new avformat-55.dll is used. the older one is not recognized anymore.

The entry in launcher.ini (line 56) has to be changed from

Value=%PAL:AppDir:DoubleBackslash%\\FFMpeg\\avformat-52.dll

to

Value=%PAL:AppDir:DoubleBackslash%\\FFMpeg\\avformat-55.dll

This can also be used as workaround until an updated build is released.

vlc on a usb - help please...

Submitted by ushere on June 20, 2014 - 10:11pm

i am making a distributable usb for a charity.

i have vlc port on a usb, and also a folder called 'video' containing a single m4v file. (the video is in it's own folder in case people want to download it to their pc)

i also created a shortcut in the root of the usb pointing to a playlist of the single video so that when clicked, it automatically plays the video.

this works well on the computer it was created on, but not, of course, when used on another where the drive letter for the usb might have changed.

vlc ..crashed

VLC: converting .amr to mp3

Submitted by eager on March 5, 2014 - 12:06pm

Hi,

I wanted to convert my .amr files to mp3.

In VLC, I choose Convert/Save, then add the file and then choose the Convert/Save button and in the drop down menu I choose Convert and it *plays* the file but it doesn't save it as a separate mp3 file.

If I highlight the file in the Add window list and right click I get the same options.

Could someone who has successfully converted and saved a .amr file as an MP3 file please share the exact step-by-step process?

Thank you.
