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.

Every time I run VLC Portable, and play music with it, it crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VLC Portable, and it still crashes. However, if I am playing a video, VLC Portable will NOT crash.

All the computers i use it on are Windows XP Pro SP2.

Any ideas?

Hello, I was referred from http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=51908&p=169198 about portable VLC v0.9.4's saved settings which doesn't seem to work. Does portable VLC not save settings?

Thank you in advance.

I have cleared checkboxes in Preferences...
I know it's the launcher because I can double-click the VLC.exe and it opens up another instance, but not through the PortableApps Menu, and not through the VLCportable.exe.

Readme.txt does not indicate how to allow multiple instances as in firefoxportable.

What can I do to make this work?
Now that the user interface has been redone, this is the media app I prefer to use.

Thx.

as I don't, it just crashes, with whichever skin i tried...

Like the title says, version 0.9.4 doesn't remember the windows position (Version 0.8.6 does). But if you run vlc 0.9.4 directly from the App\vlc folder it does remember it. I searched in the VLC forums, and it seems that now the window position is stored in the vlc-qt-interface.ini file in $APPDATA\vlc\ folder. So I think there is a bug in VLCPortable.nsi in the line 237:

where is :

CopyFiles /SILENT `$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\vlc-qt-interface.ini` `$APPDATA\vlc-qt-interface.ini`

I think it sould be:

Hello,

Since I upgraded to VLC Portable 0.9.4, I have the problem, that the path which I used last, isn't saved. So, when I want to open a file, I just get to the homepath of the windowsuser.

Some knows how to fix this?

I want to double click avi and vlc will open and play, so I set VLCPortable.exe as default player. Is this ok? because it's just the launcher.

However, it works with files with Eng filename, but didn't work with Chinese filename. vlc can correctly play files with Chinese filename if I drag n' drop the file on vlc screen.

Or I should set vlc.exe as the player? What if I directly double clicked vlc.exe? Does it write entry?

Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
