On the left side where all the options are displayed, select Interfaces, press the small arrow to see various options available, select Main Interfaces, then Qt. Go to Tools, Preferences, at the bottom left under Show settings, select All. When I first installed VLC 2.2.0, the only and first thing I tried was to see if the playback feature that was advertised as being now implemented in VLC 2.2.0 worked and unfortunately it did not.īUT with VLC 2.2.1, I have the pleasure to report that this playback feature works perfectly well!! AMAZING, AWESOME, YOU NAME IT, I AM IN HEAVEN! Where kudos are due, they should be given profusely!! The only feature that truly mattered to me and that I have been waiting for years to see it appear on VLC is this resume playback feature, believe it or not! Who knows? So at least that works - for what it's worth! But for me they all behave as if they were "never".Īs for the vlc Addons Manager, now it is working. The "continue playback" popop menu in vlc's preference does update the "macosx-continue-playback" preference setting: 0=Ask (default commented out), 1=always, 2=never. That's a text file which contains the "macosx-continue-playback" setting. Note, I found that "continue playback" preference is saved in ~/Library/Preferences//vlcrc. It just started from the beginning again and never asked to continue from where I previously quit vlc. So, as a test, just to be sure, I did an explicit "Save" of the preferences (with Ask still set), then quit vlc while it was playing, then double clicked the video to start vlc again. But it's not asking! I happened to be playing a video while answering this.

But if this is indeed the problem then vlc needs to be fixed to inherit its "old" (2.1.5) preferences.Īh, so that's where the preference was hiding. Since 2.2.0 doesn't appear any worse than 2.1.5 I can live without the new features since we didn't have them all the years before this. But I am not going to experiment with that because I don't want to re-do all the preference tweaks I've set over the years. I think I read somewhere that these features may work if I remove all the various vlc preferences (, directory) and maybe directory in Application Support. The Addons Manager window is never filled in. As best as I can tell this doesn't exist in my 2.2.0.Īs for the Addons Manager, all I get is a rotating "progress" pinwheel. I don't see vlc asking if I want to resume a playback of a video file I stopped and tried to reuse later. If there i supposed to be a "resume playback" function in 2.2.0 but I don't see it controllable from any preference. Other than a Addons Manager in the VLC menu (which doesn't work) I see no other changes in behavior with 2.2.0 after using 2.1.5.
