I'm curious what bugs you are encountering.

When I get a few 20 minutes, I will list them


vlc-3.0.18-2.fc37.x86_64

Well I do have a ton on ogg and mp4's that
range from 3 minutes to 10 minutes.  I
like to play music when I am working on
my computer and I can't stand commercials
and talking.


1) every time it changes files, it pops into the
foreground.  This destroys what I am typing and
VLC starts to responds to my keystrokes creating
even more havoc.   (smplayer and parole do not.)

2) if I have it on "list", when a new file loads up,
it switches to show video.  That is my call, not
their's. This wold ot be such a real problem
if VLC would stay in the background.  (smplayer
and parole do not do this.)

3) when it switch to the foreground, the windows
walks up the page.  I like to put it on the lower
left, but have given up and put in on the upper
left to get it to stop walking up my screen.

I posted this bugs years ago when the bug
reporter sill worked and ignored:

Beware of the security warning if you click on this.

smplayer and parole stay put.


4) occasionally when it opens a new video, it
scales about five times larger than my screen.
All my task bars/panels are covered up.
And no keystroke works to get it out.  "Esc"
is suppose to work, but only work about 1/5
the of the time.  I am forced to <ctrl><alt><f2>
ps and kill to get my screen back. (smplayer and
parole do not.)


5) when operated on randomize and full screen, it
will play for a while (about an hour) then park
on the first file at the top and repeat it over
and over. (smplayer and parole do not.)


VLC has started to annoy the snot out of me with
all the above bugs.  Time for me to switch away
from VLC.
