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
[snipped list of irritating behaviors]
VLC has started to annoy the snot out of me with
all the above bugs.  Time for me to switch away
from VLC.

Wow!  NOT a good fit for your use case.  Like walking with a stone
in your shoe. Life has too many irritations already, great to get rid of
some of them.

Agree that if vlc isn't fit for OP's purpose, then find another player.

I would never hit these.  It sounds like you could probably use an
audio player like audacious instead, since you aren't bothering with
the video.

If vlc is being launched from the command-line, one can try the
"--novideo" option.  There should be a similar option available via
the menus.


Occasionally, I will go through and dump the video.
Here are my notes:



ffmpeg to convert MP4, webm movies to audio only OGG:

	
$ dnf whatprovides ffmpeg

ffmpeg-4.1.3-2.fc30.x86_64 : Digital VCR and streaming server
Repo        : @System
Matched from:
Provide    : ffmpeg = 4.1.3-2.fc30

ffmpeg-4.1.3-2.fc30.x86_64 : Digital VCR and streaming server
Repo        : rpmfusion-free
Matched from:
Provide    : ffmpeg = 4.1.3-2.fc30



To convert one file:

ffmpeg -i videofile.mp4 -vn -acodec libvorbis audiofile.ogg


To remove video and caonvert to ogg audio:

ffmpeg -i video.any -vn -acodec libvorbis audio.ogg



To convert many files:

Note: rename *.MP4 to *.mp4

$ for vid in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$vid" -vn -acodec libvorbis "${vid%.mp4}.ogg"; done

$ for vid in *.webm; do ffmpeg -i "$vid" -vn -acodec libvorbis "${vid%.webm}.ogg"; done
