VLC - media player

Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

I've tried both vlc-3.0.20-win64.zip and vlc-3.0.20-win64.7z, and I don't see any such problem there. Both the EXE and Help=>About correctly show 3.0.20.

Weird: only happens on the Win10-machines at work... just checked at home on my Win 8.1, everything fine. The clou: it's the same folder/portable installation - I update it at home and carry it over to the machines at work :?

You can call it zero-cache and always start VLC only by a shortcut of vlc --config=zero-cache

The zero-cache text file should contain:

Code: Select all

[qt]
qt-recentplay=0
qt-privacy-ask=0

[core]
plugins-cache=0
Not able to get this. Do you mean the text file (say, abc.txt) should be renamed as vlc --config=zero-cache.config after pasting the coded texts in to the text file?

I deliberately gave it no extension (just zero-cache - not TXT, not anything), so in your case it would be --config=zero-cache=zero-cache.txt or --config=zero-cache.config
My reason for no extension was because VLC doen't instruct which extension to use so I didn't want to choose for them.
