VLC: Unable to open relative path in XSPF playlist

Submitted by jmn1995 on January 6, 2008 - 9:46pm

Saving playlist in XSPF format stores the absolute file paths by default in VLC. To make it portable, I have created my XSPF playlist with relative paths including only the filename itself between the <location> tags as the playlist file is in the very same directory as the media files. The validator at http://validator.xspf.org/ said it's OK, but VLC gives the error message:

Unable to open 'video001.avi'

VLC Portable and Foxytunes Plugin

Submitted by mccavittp on December 9, 2007 - 4:36am

I just recently updated my Foxytunes Plugin (now using v 2.9.6) for Firefox Portable (v 2.0.0.3)so I can use the controls. I was wondering if anyone has had success getting this to work. I followed the directions given to setup and when I look at the Dox box it opens it shows the following:

Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.
Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers.

VLC: starting playback while video file is still downloading

Any suggestion for the following problem?

I use a USB stick with Ceedo. It is a great application making it possible to run even non-portable apps on your drive. It works great!

However, I am still unable to get a media player with which I can view a video file from the browser. I mean, when I use Internet Explorer and click on a link to an .avi file, Windows Media Player pops up and starts playback.

VLC: settings

Submitted by janvr0 on November 12, 2007 - 6:51pm

I have PortableApps suite on a USB stick installed and copied my language settings
(Dutch) from a local installation of Firefox and Thunderbird as well as my profile settings, works like a charm.
But when I install VLC portable and some MP3 files (room enough it's a 4GB stick)I met various problems installing the player (read/write errors)
I just tried again and again, finally I had a proper install.
But I lost all my settings,add-ons and accounts in Firefox&Thunderbird luckily I had a backup.
I reïnstalled about 5 or 6 times now but the problem persists.
