Wow. I never noticed. Thanks for letting me know.

I will fix the file selection in the next build.

Glad you resolved the issue :-)

I figured it out. This had nothing to do with any updates, clearly. 

For some reason, when I click on the VLC folder using the folder browser on the right, the target defaults to one folder up, so instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC, I kept landing on C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\. And when I completed the path manually by adding "vlc.exe" (because you can't choose a file with the browser, only a folder), I ended up with the wrong path.

Thank you for your help and I hope I didn't waste too much of your time! :)

Hi again. I did check "use external player". When I enter the path to vlc.exe (in the media player classic location box, which I believe is the only viable one) and I try double-click on a video, I get an error message that reads "External media player not defined". 

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi again.

I am away from my PC, but there is an option to enter the path of the external player. Just point it to vlc.exe on your disk. Then there is a checkbox I think outside of options that says "use external player"

Hi. Thank you for the quick reply!

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear with previous post. I can generate frames alright. And I can also open a video by double-clicking it.

What I can no longer do since a couple of updates ago is use my video player of choice, which is VLC. There is a check box on the Video Manager landing window that allows you to select an external player, which I have checked. But in the settings, the option to select VLC is grayed out (and if I remember correctly, there used to be an option to enter the VLC folder path, which isn't there anymore). So I can only open videos with the internal video player, which unfortunately just doesn't have all the functionality that I need.

I sadly can't be precise about when this changed, but I'm fairly confident that it was about a couple of updates ago.

I'm using Win10, ver 1803, 64 bit. 

Thanks,

Ron

Hi Ron,

Please clarify this for me. 

a) You can no longer generate video frames.

or

b) you cannot open a video by double clicking.

Also please provide Windows version and whether it is 32 or 64 bit

Thanks

Hey there,

I really like this program, but I haven't been able to use it since you removed the ability to open files on VLC directly from the Video Manager. Is there a legacy build repository somewhere where I can download an older version?

Thanks!

Ron
