Last time, I showed you how to customize your interface with new skins. I hope you are happy with it :)
Now, I will tell you how to tune VLC to meet your needs. I like it when it just runs, with no tweaking. But what I would like even more is customizing the way it runs once and for all, and forget about it.
So, here is a compilation of VLC settings you may find useful, and info on where you can find them in the preferences:
- Always on top: in Video. If, like me, you often watch a video while coding/reading/chatting, having a small video window on top of the others in a corner of the screen is convenient.
- Deinterlacing: in Video->Filters->Deinterlace. I have some DVDs with interlaced videos, and it's annoying to set deinterlacing for each video. Here, choose the deinterlacing algorithm you prefer (test with multiple videos).
- Sharpening: in Video->Filters->Sharpen video. Here again, set as you see fit (videos will appear a bit more clear).
- Subtitles: in Video->Subtitles/OSD. You can choose the folder where VLC will search for subtitles, and choose the color and font in Video->Subtitles/OSD->Text renderer.
- Interface tweaks: in Interface->Main interfaces->Qt. Use Automatically save the volume on exit. you can uncheck Show notification popup on track change if the systray popup bothers you.
Last but not least, the hotkeys: you can control VLC directly from your keyboard. You can see them and change them in Hotkeys in the preferences (not that hard to find...). Here are the handy ones:
- Play/Pause: space
- Fullscreen: F
- Leave fullscreen: Esc
- Next: N
- Previous: P
- Mute: M
- Increase subtitle delay: H
- Decrease subtitle delay: G
- Increase audio delay: K
- Decrease audio delay: J
There's a lot of configuration settings, so feel free to test the remaining ones and tweak your VLC :)

It has been in the work for a while.
Now, all of the important underlying libraries are built
(kudos to Mans Rullgard for his help with FFMPEG).
The video output works out of box with XCB & XVideo,
although screen unblanking needs to be re-implemented.
The audio output pipeline needed a little bit of optimizations,
and A/52 and DTS still don't work;
this is a side effect bug of the VLC SPDIF pass-through.
I have not been able to check how the Qt4 UI performs
in Hildon 5, but at least command line works now :)
