Hey J, this is very helpful and I like the simple easy way you can follow along. This is the first one I watched, and I cant wait to see the rest !

Thank you for the video. I am curious if VLC will play .gif files. In particular a file list of .gif files tro create a .gif play list as a slideshow? Using WIN 10.

Will this convert audio files from one format to another? Specifically AAC/DRM from iTunes to MP3s (which Apple now prevents with their latest iTunes)? Like to listen to these files without having to drag around my iPad (I do not use an iPhone) say via a thumb drive in my car.

Curious on how the playlist function works, have been using Windows Media Player and have really gotten used to theirs. I use itunes as a backup but have heard this one is the best media player.

After downloading 2.2.6 I can no longer drag and drop multiple audio books to play in sequence...after the completion of the first book the player stops....what settings do I use for the player to continue to on to the next book automatically....Also when I drag and drop an audio book to the player then hit play the player skips the first file (or chapter) and starts playing the 2nd one, you must then hit the back button start playing the first file.

I have several CD's ripped and loaded on my phone. I have album cover art attached to these CD albums in my default music player (which has other functionality problems) to make it easier to find them.

Is it possible to attach album cover art in VLC?

[TestTubeBabySpy]

so on this player, if i select 5 files to play will it open one vlc player and a list like windows media player or will it open 5 players like quicktime does?

Will visualizations from windows media player be included in VLC media player or not?

Great tutorial. My only wish is that you could update this for Windows 10. I am having a hard time with Pre-Recorded TV Files we have before we converted to 10

I see a little orange cone next to my utube song. But I clicked left, right, once, twice. Nada happens. Then VLC box opened. Is one sposed to put the target there. I tried play, playback. Hit add first, hit add 2nd. Nothing happens.

Brilliant and very helpful. How do you creat a media library in VLC which always remains in there even after you close VLC down and then reopen it? My music always disappears from the player every time and I always have to go back into the folder and reload it as a playlist every time, it's so so so so incredibly stuid and annoying!!! I just want my music to stay in there, in the VLC player if that makes sense. So I can just open VLC and, boom!! there's my favourite playlist ready to go. That's how it should be. But they've clearly designed it so you need a degree in software music players and 10 years experience in software development in order to play your music easily each time. It's incredible that it's deliberately been designed to be so unbelievably complex and difficult to simply maintain a permanent playlist/media library. Very frustrating!!
