When I look up instructions for using VLC as anything other than a player, I find instructions on using the wizards. But I don't find any wizards in VLC. Am I too blind to be allowed to use a computer?

I made research about my problem but I couldn't find any information related that.The problem is: I'm activating vlc portable ''now playing'' plugin from control interfaces settings window, but after that plugin is not working, so I cant show my current song on msn client.What is the problem and how can I solve this problem? Waiting your comments.Thanks for answers.
(note:I can use that plugin with wlm, it works fine)

I just tried the portable VLC Media Player 0.9.6 R2 as a clean install and on first run, it displays a window and asks for some input. I just wondered if the "update check"-checkbox could be unchecked by default?

Or is the update portable?

Or does it only notify me?
Even if it only notifies me, I still preferred it to not do that cause it would certainly send me to the official page...

hey guys
I used to be able to drag and drop a .bin file (vcd) into VLC and it would play no problems, this new version doesnt seem to want to play them, then when it does they have no sound, any ideas? where can I go to get an old portable version?

I was preparing to install the VLC 0.9.6 update. Normally I'd just install it over the old version, but this time I wanted to delete the old version and install the new.* However, it won't let me: "Cannot delete libvlc: Access is denied."

I did not start VLC in this session, don't have it set to auto-start, and PStart is not autorunning VLC... yet there it is in System Explorer, process vlc.exe is running. In the process details, the Command Line is: "[drive]:\PortableApps\VLCPortable\App\vlc\vlc.exe" -l ntservice --How did it get this switch?

Tried the preferences within VLC, but testing shows the problem lies with the launcher.

Any ideas on the switch required to allow multiple instances in VLCportable.ini?

"Allow multiple instances=true" does not work.

Clicking vlc.exe for the second instance starts it up, so I tend to think that this points to a problem to the launcher.

Please post your ini file if you have this working as expected.

I didn't see this anywhere else so: I tried installing a skin from the official VLC site and now when I try to load VLC it immediately crashes. Is there someway I can manually access the settings (as in externally since I can't access the interface). If so what settings do I need to change to remove the skin.

Hey All

I am not a big fan of the dark default skin in 0.8.5 which I have been using until recently, I just installed the new version but still has the same old dark default skin not the light grey one shown in all recent screenshots, including the shoat shown on the app page here. any hint on how to change this??

This is to continue the thread in https://portableapps.com/news/2008-11-09_-_vlc_media_player_portable_0.9.6.

This is a known bug as stated here http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=52532&p=170890&hilit=flv#...

Unfortunately, the answer to the problem is to use 0.9.7, which is not officially released yet from the VLC site.

When I start portable VLC, my media library is empty.

I did not see a way to configure the location of the media library in the preferences.

Any suggestions welcomed.
