It always jumps to the time mark saved when the video was last play in VLC 2.2.8.
Second, when set to resume playing at previous time mark of a video when you last stopped viewing it, appears broke. Appears VLC is not registering itself with macOS as an app capable of handling MKV. same thing, VLC is greyed out in the Finder dialog. 2) Tried 'Get Info' on a MKV file, select Open With, VLC gone from list of apps, then try Other. Tried to reset file association using the two usual methods 1) In Finder, Open With then 'Other.', but in the Finder dialog window, VLC is greyed out as an app that can handle MKV, so you can't select it. no longer show VLC as an app that can open MKV. Right click on MKV file in Finder and select Open and Open With. After installing 3.0, that association broke, In Finder, double clicking on an MKV will not launch VLC. Previously with 2.2.8, MKV files were set to open with VLC by default. it has been reported (actually had already reported it when 3.0.0 came out)Ĭouple issues I ran into with Version 3.0įirst, loses its file association to play MKV files, at least for me.
#OLD VLC FOR MAC MAC#
This is on a Mac mini 2018 with the i7 upgrade, so I know it is not due (or shouldn't be) to CPU or video lag. For a 2 hour movie, clicking even the slightest amount on either side of the current time marker still results in a jump of several minutes or more, instead of seconds. Yes, I know you can click on the timeline bar, but the granularity is not as fine as using the scroll feature.
I'm a little hard of hearing, so when I'm watching a video, often I miss something or can't make it out unless I hear it repeated a few times, so this feature to be able to quickly scroll back in very short increments is useful. This is a deal breaker for me, as I use this feature constantly to review short, specific clips over and over. In 3.0.6 it will work sometimes, then other times the time marker will jump randomly to a spot far ahead (or behind) what you would expect based on the degree of motion on the scroll, sometimes as much as 30+ minutes ahead or back, when at most it should have incremented a minute give or take (compared to 2.2.8). In 2.2.8 the motion is smooth, and the increments predictable. I use a feature whereby if you place the cursor on the timeline bar, using the scroll button on mouse up and down will advance time forward and backward. What would be great is a search filter to search for Universal apps For apps that are now Universal, you need to indicate under requirements that they are universal, because there are users that may want to run native-ARM apps, if available (and if you own an ARM mac, why wouldn't you want to run native apps if available?). Maybe that means separate MU pages for each platform in the case of VLC, or you need to host both versions and offer the user a choice which file when downloading.
So come up with a system to handle this new world we live in, every day that goes by it only will get more confusing. VLC is the first app I've seen that comes as separate installers, but logical to think more will come, for whatever reason a Universal app is not available (technical reasons, licensing, size of the executable, who knows).
#OLD VLC FOR MAC UPDATE#
There a many Universal apps now, but if you look at the MAc Update page for them, there is no indication that they are Universal and requirements still say Intel-64.
#OLD VLC FOR MAC HOW TO#
As I"ve been telling MU for several months you need to come up with a system/policy for how to document and catalog Universal and/or ARM only apps.
#OLD VLC FOR MAC DOWNLOAD#
The download you are hosting currently as of this date is the ARM version. VLC is now available in separate Intel and ARM (Apple Silicon) versions, with DIFFERENT versioning schemes.
