I recently had the problem that my VLC Media Player took about a minute to start. First I didn’t know what caused the problem until I remembered that I imported my Music Library into VLC, so it always scanned the whole Library to import the meta data. To disable the Media Library do as follows: Open: Tools -> Preferences Under Show Setting select «All» to show all settings

Today I watched a movie with VideoLAN but towards the end I encountered a problem I had several times before. The video and audio became asynchronous really badly. Knowing that VLC has functions to do almost anything, I decided to dig into the deep of the VLC preferences and I discovered what I searched. I found some Hot-keys which might be useful in this context: press: g to augment the audio delay press: f to decrease the audio delay If you watch movies with subtitles the following might be useful as well:

Update: The NetSync module seems not to be included in VLC 0.9.x! VLC the VideoLan Media Player has the ability to play sound synchronously on different machines. This module is called NetSync Unfortunately the documentation about this functionality is not very useful. I had to search several sources until I finally managed to get it working. I will provide a short tutorial here: The Server (Streaming Server) OS: Ubuntu IP: 192.
