Just installed pVLC. Great job
But how come it just quits?
I load a directory or playlist. It starts playing ok, plays whole media file (mp3 or mpg, doesn't matter) and then quits.
No warning, no error messages, just a sudden death.
I start vlc again, and same thing happens.
Sometimes it plays several files, sometimes quits after first file.

Hello out there!

I've a problem with the latest release of the player:

There is no sound!

Can someone solve my problem (settings or what ever)?

Yesterday I found out that new VLC version has been released, so I'm looking forward seeing John's new portable VLC version...

Get it (original version) @ http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Keep up the good work!!

Sometimes when I'm using Portable VLC, and surfing the web at the same time, the music playing skips/lags as if it were playing a scratched cd instead of normal music files I have on my pc...

not sure whats up with it there. I switched to WMP for a bit to see if it occured in that also and it didn't...

Maybe something to do with my usb stick?

I'm trying to make use of skins, but can't seem to do it. I've followed the directions on the VLC page, and I get nothing except the default Skins2 skin. What am I doing wrong?
****EDIT****
I've since found that the problem seems to be isolated to the iPod skin that is available.

Anyone else have the problem of VLC's text disappearing, then re-appearing on it's own? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Please see the posting in General Discussion regarding the virus present in the VLC archive.

Hi. I always check this site for new goodies and today I found PortableClamWin AV - a virus scanner. I ran it on my flash stick with all the neat portable software on it and it found a virus. Here is the entry that Clamwin AV produced:

E:\PortableVLC\vlc\plugins\libmux_ps_plugin.dll: Trojan.Xombe.HTTP.A FOUND
-- summary --
Known viruses: 51919
Engine version: 0.88.1
Scanned directories: 44
Scanned files: 235
Infected files: 1

I just wanted to let you all know. What is this plugin responsible for? Can I remove it, or do I need to replace it? Thanks in advance.

***New Info**

Some time ago I tried the "normal" VLC. I like the "Skins 2" interface, bur everytime I started VLC the Standard-Skin (wxWidgets) was set.
Now I tried the new portable VLC, but there is the same problem (I know you are not the developer of VLC )
Is it possible to change the default skin in VLC ?

I have had VLC installed on my USB drive for quite some time, having downloaded and installed the regular version. It has seemed to work well and I have had no problems. What is the difference between Portable VLC and the regular version I have installed? Will I benefit from deleting the version I have on my flash drive now and installing the portable version?

Thanks!!!
