Nothing on view menu (windows 10, VLC 3.0.18)

Open ovnis82 opened this issue 1 year ago • 8 comments

Hello!

I have installed vlc-delete.lua inside "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions" but nothing inside view menu.

How to fix that ?

Thx!

Hello @ovnis82 , are other extensions working?

surrim avatar May 09 '23 17:05 surrim

Yes. I can see and open them.

Same for me. Nothing in the view other than the native VLsub.

Can you try to copy the lua file to %appdata%\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions (something like C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions)? If it's working, please leave some feedback - so I can update the readme file 🚀

See Installing Extensions in lua.

I also have this issue. Nothing on the view menu but the extension is showing up as loaded. VLC 3.0.18 just got the latest lua file from the site for the plug in. Still nothing shows up in view for VLC player.

I had the same issue with VLC 3.0.18 on Windows 10. I tried another extension and it was not showing up either.

I resolved the issue by copying the .lua files to C:/Program Files (x86)/Video Lan/VLC/lua/extensions (instead of %appdata%\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions). Then I clicked "Reload Extensions" in VLC (Tools > Plugins and Extensions > Active Extensions) and voila.

Perhaps other folks need it in the "Roaming" directory, where as it seems like I needed it in the Program Files directory?

Or when you unpack VLC and install without using the installer.

Then putting the lua in this dir works without any problem: C:\MyInstalledApps\vlc-3.0.18\lua\extensions\

Hello,

ich have the solution for this problem (which will occur on any Windows).

The path you are using is incorrect. Instead of "%appdata%\Roaming\vlc\lua\extensions" it must be "%appdata%\vlc\lua\extensions" because %appdata% is already linking to the Roaming-Folder.

Merged with https://github.com/surrim/vlc-delete/pull/21. If there's still trouble to get the plugin loaded, please reopen/recreate this issue.
