![]() ![]() Optionally, tick Enqueue files when in one instance mode which keeps current file playing and adds any newly opened files to the current playlist. You can disable this in Tools > Preferences > Interface > Instances > Allow only one instance. This can be annoying if you are using VLC for something like playing your music collection. The default settings for VLC is to open a new instance of the program for each file that is opened. See the documentation for more information It is also possible to start vlc with an ncurses interface: It is essential that this port is open in order to play local uPNP/DLNA content.įollow instructions in script to setup a socket for VLC.Įither run the script from the command line or register the script with keyboard shortcuts through your desktop.Īlternatively, you can use MPRIS to interact with VLC. If you find that trying to play uPNP/DLNA content (by going to View > Playlist > Local Network > Universal Plug'n'Play), that vlc fails to see the DLNA server on the local network, then make sure that the firewall is not blocking port 1900 UDP. Playing streamed content from a local DLNA server You will need to restart VLC in order for changes to take effect. VLC defaults to port 8080: Edit /usr/share/vlc/lua/http/.hosts to allow remote connections. Set the password via Tools > Preferences > Show settings: All > Interface > Main interfaces > Lua > Lua HTTP > Password. To enable the web interface from the graphical interface, navigate to View > Add Interface > Web Interface. $ vlc -extraintf=http -http-host 0.0.0.0 -http-port 8080 -http-password yourpasswordhere To set a password, use -http-password, otherwise VLC will not allow you to log in. The -http-host parameter specifies the address to bind to, which is localhost by default. Run VLC with the parameter -extraintf=http to use both the desktop and web interface. ![]() ![]() Restart VLC for the change to take effect. When the preferences window opens up you should be in the "Interface" tabĬhoose the "Use custom skin" radio button, and select the downloaded skin. To install a skin download it and move it to ~/.local/share/vlc/skins2/. VLC can be "skinned" for a different look and feel. For instance, modify the /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop line: VLC does not offer an option to change language in its Preferences menu. "vlc /home/username/Downloads/example.mp4 & vlc /home/username/Downloads/example2.mp4 & vlc /home/username/Downloads/example3.VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols. I believe the default is they layer instances over each other.Įxample (assumes video file is called "example" and is located in your user accounts download folder): Keep in mind that this will only help you open the file, it not give you control over where the video's appear on your desktop screen. However when I attempted 3 the gap became larger because it was a 1080p video running 3 instanced in a vm, and vms don't get good performance. For example I tested this with 2 1080p 70mb mp4 files in a virtual machine, and they were almost in sync, a slight echo was the only indication they weren't. If not the out-of-sync gap between players will be more apparent. Of course this assumes the video file aren't ones that strain the system and that they are stored on a storage device capable of feeding the data rate of 3 videos at once. They won't be in sync, but because they are opened 1 after the other very quickly they will be very very close to in sync, most likely resulting in a slight echo like sound. As far as opening 3 videos at the same time the closest I can suggest would be using "&" to open the files sequentially. I don't have multiple monitors so I can't help you there. (But please keep in mind, I'm rather new at linux, so please have patience with me) I need just one channel of either mono or stereo audio to run from (let's say) the first video file.Īny and all input would be VERY welcome. So what I'm asking is basically this: If I want to run three separate videos, to three separate monitors using ubuntu and VLC, how can I run all three at exactly the same time, and is there a way to get them to sync? (MIDI, smpte time code, etc?) Seems to be the way to address each video output separately (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong about this) vout allows you to select the video output module. The WALL feature seems cool, but I'm using 3 monitors for video output and one for a control panel (please excuse the Windows entomology). I read which shows how to address each of the three monitors with each instance of VLC.| I am trying to run a video presentation - but I need it to run THREE separate Mpeg or AVI videos at precisely the same time and in sync. I'm a total noob at Linux (but I'm learning). ![]()
