The main interface

Interface overview

The following picture shows the names of the main controls in the VLC interface:

Note: This picture corresponds to the Windows XP version. In other systems, VLC might look slightly different.

Menu bar

The menu bar at the top contains commands that control VLC.

Track slider

The track slider is on top of the control buttons. It shows the progress of playing of the media file. You can drag the track slider left to rewind or right to forward the track being played.

Two timers at the left and right ends of the track slider show the current playing position (left) and the total time (right) of the current track.

Note: When a media file is streamed (live), the position indicator of the track slider does not move because the total duration of the streaming is not known until it finishes.

Control buttons

The buttons below the slider control the playback.

From left to right they are:

• Play/Pause.
• Previous media in the playlist.
• Stop playback.
• Next media in the playlist.
• Toggle fullscreen (video only).
• Show extended settings: Audio effects, Video effects and Synchronization.
• Show playlist.
• Repeat: toggles among loop all, loop one, no loop (default).
• Random: Plays the files in the current playlist in a random order.

Volume control

The volume control is located in the bottom right corner of the window. The small speaker icon is a button that mutes () or un-mutes () the sound. The triangle to the right is a slider that shows the current playback volume. Clicking this slider modifies the volume. The playback volume is also displayed as a percentage number on top of this slider.

Windows notification area (system tray) icon

When you start VLC media player, the application appears on the screen and a small icon appears in the notification area (system tray). Clicking once this icon will hide VLC, and clicking it again will show it again. Hiding VLC does not close it, it continues to run in the background. Right clicking this icon brings up a menu with the following controls:

• Hide/Show VLC media player.
• Play/Pause/Stop playback.
• Switch to Previous/Next track.
• Speed control.
• Increase/Decrease volume.
• Mute.
