Music & Video Apps Support

Just released. So new they've not fully updated their links yet, but that should be resolved shortly. They claim bug fixes, so here's to hoping it's stable enough for portability.

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place as most of these posts seem very technical and I'm definitely not! I am running Vista V6.0 Business and am struggling to get VLC to work. When I click on the application the player loads and identifies a DVD when I load it. However, when I try to open the disk, a lot of whirring occurs (ie the system can see the disk) but that's as far as it goes. Am I being really stupid? I would be very grateful for any help. Please remember - I am not at all technical! Thanks.

Hi,

I have got Windows Media Player on my machine and want to use VLC - i installed VLC player 0.9.2 and the VLC player was automatically set as default on my machine which is good. Now when i play any video files on my machine it automatically opens up VLC player and plays it.

Today, september 15th, VLC Media Player 0.9.2 is available for download. I'm looking forward to the portable version!

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am trying to play an avi file with embedded subtitles. I can see the subtitles track under Video>Subtitles Track, however I am not able to get the subtitles to show on the screen. The Messages window shows the following information.

main error: failed to open OSD definition file osdmenu/default.cfg
main error: creating OSD menu object failed
osdmenu error: osdmenu filter discarded

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can correct this problem?

Thanks

Hi all!
I use VLC Portable mainly to listen to my favorite jazz station (WBGO). Anyways, I'm getting tired of always having to copy the streaming audio link of the station into VLC. Is there a way for the stream to automatically load once I open VLC? That would be very useful.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

I tried VLC could play english subtitles, but only displayed square when chinese subtitles loaded. Could anyone kindly teach me how to display them correctly? Thank you.

PS, I also downloaded Mplayer portable, but don't know how to load subtitles (both english or chinese).

Caution! Do not open untrusted files using VLC Media.

Secunia Advisory SA31512: Moderately Critical.

"The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.8.6i. Other versions may also be affected."

I downloaded VLC Portable today and got immediately annoyed by it's splash screen (as usually). This time I decided not to make a mess in the main directory by adding a config file and recompile it instead. As I did it already, I decided to remove the rest of stuff that's useless for me, like MUI and CRC check.
Then I decided to make a performance test.
Result?
Original launcher: 2.28s (VLC showed up a bit before, but a splash screen covered it anyway).
My launcher: 0.15s. I redid the tests 3 times each, all were within 0.02s.
