SSL Certificates in VLC Portable not supported

Submitted by acocaracha on December 10, 2010 - 8:44am

Hello,

I'm interested in streaming from a server that is https only. Vlc has the capability, but the Data\settings does not carry over the ssl\certs and ssl\private directories if I were to create them and add a ca-certificates.crt file. I understand it would be a less used feature (requiring the user to manually add the certificate to the Data\settings\ssl\certs directory), but would it be possible to automatically generate these directories and carry them over to Application Data when the program is started.

VLC: Serious problem with 1.1.5

Submitted by taosk8r on November 19, 2010 - 10:52pm

I tried downloading this on two different computers, and on attempting to play an avi (divx), it starts skipping horribly like a broken record (video and audio).

Tried the videos on mpui and they work fine, and the previous version worked fine as well.

Edit: BTW, on both computers I was also running Chrome portable. Don't know if that matters.

I know its not always as simple as dragging and dropping,or changing the install folder.SO when I download and install the new updates do I just point it to

X:\PortableApps\vlcportable

and install?

the documentation isnt very specific

Vlc 1.1.4 Rev2 Crashes when making file associations

Submitted by maaylix on September 18, 2010 - 6:36pm

-Using VLC in my pc (not installed in a usb drive)

-Windows XP Pro SP3

Steps I did:

-Double clicked VLCPortable.exe (running from app/vlc/vlc.exe has the same result... is there a difference in running from this instead of the xxxportable.exe on root?)

-Went to preferences

-File associations

-Set up what I wanted (everything except playlists)

-Clicked apply

-Vlc crashed

[Fixed] VLC: font cache rebuild back - *.cache-2 should now be *.cache-3

Submitted by spchtr on September 10, 2010 - 8:50am

found instances of *.cache-2 in VLCPortable.nsi and changed them to *.cache-3, recompiled and it no longer has to build the font cache. No idea why vlc developers changed the file name, but it changed with 1.1.3

Thanks for the update, been waiting for it for a while. I have gotten to the point that I can and do sometimes compile my own but prefer to have the official releases whenever possible.
