Hello, A friend told me to use VLC on my Apple TV so I can stream the local files from my iMac onto the Apple TV through SMB. Now that I've tried to set up, I'm confused and can't make it work for various reasons : - First, I'm not sure of which one is the right folder on the VLC tab because...

I have AppleTV HD from 2017 (model A842) I wanted to make a simple-ish media server hosted on my Synology NAS. I made a shared folder on it and put the movies there, in 26 subdirectories, one for each letter of the alphabet. There is no standard for alphabetization I could find. I ignored all...

Re: VLC on iPhone. I just installed it but when I use the network connection to connect to my MacBook via wi-fi it goes to an 'SMBv1 Authentication required' panel and the correct user + password for my Mac does not work and there is no url generated in the browser on my Mac. I've tried...

I wanted to play some ‘industry standard 720p’ ;) encoded video on a Mac mini 2006. I found QuickTime to be a laggy mess. PPCMC7 FFplay, in its native PowerPC build is also not able to keep up. I am excited however to see what happens with a native Intel build. VLC 0.9.1 saved the day, was able...

Hello there, I was considering giving Cisdem Video Player a shot on my machine running Big Sur, VLC has had many problems functioning on Big Sur since it debuted and Cisdem boldly displays on the site that it is Big Sur compatible. I was curious as to any of you have tried it out. Is it any good...

Hey guys! With this being the home theatre subforum, I’m sure some of you have set up or will set up a system to watch your iPhone videos on your HDR TV. I currently have a windows machine set up as a server, which syncs to google drive, and I have the choice of streaming locally or from...

Hi guys, been away for a while and need some expert advice. I have an Apple TV Mk 4 and it works very well with VLC streaming MKV HD (1920x1080) files from my Mac. I now have a large 4K TV and would like to enjoy UHD (4K) content. Over the past 12 months I have managed to store most of my DVD...

I’m on the edge trying to decide between a 2018 pro 11” or 2020 pro 11”. One use case for this will be playing movies I load manually to the tablet for remote use, ex: car or plane. Can these play mkv and h264 or h265 formatting directly from internal storage and or external hdd? 95% of my...

Hi. I have an airport extreme and airport express. I use VLC on an old iPad connected to a projector at one side of the room, which uses airplay to stream the audio across to the other side of the room to the airport express connected to a Sony BDV-E370 via an optical cable. The best I can get...

I had the Macbook Pro 13” 2017 TB approximately since the release of the 2018 version, the battery was all good at the beginning. Recently I realized the battery statred being drained very fast, so I did some kind of test. I watched a 60 min mp4 1080p video on VLC and it drained 50% of the...

I have a Macbook Pro that I bought in 2014. It came with Mavericks installed and I never bothered to update the system until last year when the hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall everything. I have Sierra now. Before the crash/update, I was able to play DVDs from any region using VLC, but...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it isn't possible to compile a newer version of VLC (with support for playing YouTube) on an older version of Mac OS X (10.4.11+). If that's possible, how can someone start with doing that? I was wondering this because we also have TenFourFox running on 10.4.11...

I just installed new VLC 3.0.1 on 2017 15" Macbook Pro and it is running all my 4k HEVC content flawlessly with very low CPU usage. Looks like they have finally added hardware decoding. Results are much better than IINA. I also have a 2016 13" Macbook Pro Touchbar (2.9Ghz i5) and it didn't make...

Hi folks, Somehow I made VLC my default player for the Quick Look feature. Now every time I select an audio file and hit the space bar it opens through VLC, which I don't want to. How do I turn it back to the default and lighter preview of Quick Look? It looks silly, but I still didn't figure...

I'm trying to set up a wireless home movies network for my kids, sharing a folder on an external USB drive via my MacBook Pro and WIFI. I bought and tried to use PlayerXtreme Media Player PRO to set up a SMB connection, but it fails. I can connect fine via Browser, which allows me to copy...

Have a couple of really novice questions about videos. Have been having slides and a few 8mm films digitized. On one of the films I found a very short segment that I would like to send to my brother. I have a 2015ish MacBook Air with iMovie on it and VLC. He has an older MacBook Pro and I...

I read in some threads that VLC already supports hardware decode. Even a VLC developer said this. To me and to my specific usage, VLC is pure horses**t. It's the worst player being intensive resource hog that doesn't seem to think about battery at all. I found IINA and have been using it since...

Hey guys, I just can't seem to figure this out with VLC on Apple TV, and sharing folders to view form my Mac. What are the exact steps of what I need to first do on my Mac, in order to browse folders and watch files off of my computer from VLC on my Apple TV 4K?
