Using VLC media player how-to? (1 Viewer)

[mistero]

I want to utilize VLC media player to play online videos. When using the trailer button in Moving Pictures, the trailer plays in the internal player and is very choppy. I would like to bypass the internal player all together. I hav configured Moving Pictures to use VLC. Thanks for the help.

Have you checked the context menu (F9) on the trailer item?

I'm using Lav filters for all playback and see no choppiness, VLC is not a good player, just better at receiving streaming content.

I would try different codecs or increase the amount of buffering before playback, or completely download file if you want the best result.

I am having difficulty bring up the context menu (f9). When I hover over the arrow pointing left, I hear a sound, however, no action.

Ray- on the buffering size, any reccomendations?

Also, you can force vlc for specific sites....

In the OnlineVideoSites.xml file

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\OnlineVideoSites.xml

you can add player="VLC" to the site parameters:

<Site name="Orf" util="Orf" agecheck="false" enabled="true" lang="de" lastUpdated="2011-09-02T13:50:03.7719449+02:00" player="VLC">
