1.8 How do I uninstall / reinstall VLC ?
--------------------------------------
Why would you want to ? ;)
If you're using a source distribution of VLC, for example a tarball or
the CVS, then you have probably used "make install" to install the
compiled VLC. To remove it just "make uninstall". If you want to
install a newer version than the currently installed one, you should
first uninstall the first one. If you deleted the original source tree,
a "make uninstall" in the newer tree should still work.
For binary packages, remove old packages first and install the new ones
(normally this should be handled automagically by your sytem).

1.10 I don't have access to the GUI anymore
-------------------------------------------
If you change the default interface module in the preferences menu to a non
GUI module (ie. to a command line interface) and then save the configuration,
the only way to get VLC to show a GUI again is to run it directly from the
command line.
For instance on Windows, you need to open a dos command box, go to the
directory where you installed VLC (usually
c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VideoLAN Client) and then type "vlc --intf intfwin"
You will then be able to modify the configuration again and save it.

You can raise it with --volume commandline switch or in the preferences

2.10 I have no image under DirectX
----------------------------------
Check that your video card drivers are in their latest version and that
your DirectX is up-to-date.
2.11 VLC crashes
----------------
Increase the verbosity level (either in the preferences or with a
"-vvvv" command-line option) and look at the debug messages (on the
terminal or in the Messages window).
2.12 I can only play a DVD as root

Check that as user you have write access to your DVD drive / device.
2.13 I'm stuck with option xxx, how do I reset options ?

Under unices, remove your ~/.videolan/vlcrc; for Windows, remove vlcrc
in the videolan subfolder of your "Application Data" directory.

2.15 I have just upgraded to VLC 0.4.5, and now I don't have any sound
with the streams coming from the VLS !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a known problem. VLC 0.4.5 and later are now compliant to general
usage regarding A/52 sound, and the new behavior is incompatible with the
previous one. VLS version 0.4.0 and later now fixes this problem. If, for
a reason or another, you wish to keep VLS 0.3.3, you can still read those
streams if you launch VLC (0.4.5 or later) with --vls-backwards-compat.

No, nobody reported to be actually working on a MacOS 9 port. If you
feel like you could write it, we would of course welcome it. Currently,
the developers are more interested in supporting the latest Operating
Systems and completing the functionalities.

Yes. Just use vlc rtp:@<mcast addr>:<local port>.
