When a show is playing in vlc how do i get the episode to appear on screen so it stays when it switches to next episode

[Baldrick]

Can you explain in detail what you want? A show? Episode in what kind of file,dvd,stream,etc?

Try also search or ask in http://forum.videolan.org/

[Baldrick]

I see. Download the .lua file and try put in

You must put the file in the folder:
- Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\
- Windows (current user): %APPDATA%\VLC\lua\extensions\
- Linux (all users): /usr/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
- Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
- Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/

I have windows 7 i went to this http://addons.videolan.org/CONTENT/content-files/143241-Media-Context.lua and clicked save as but nothing happens it says cannot be found

[Baldrick]

What says "cannot be found"?

Try right click on http://addons.videolan.org/CONTENT/content-files/143241-Media-Context.lua and choose save as or similar.

this is what i'm seeing http://tinypic.com/r/2rng6dl/5 http://tinypic.com/r/f1wowp/5

[Baldrick]

You must manually copy it to

C:\Program Files(x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\

[la321]

I did that but i don't see an extensions folder http://tinypic.com/r/2uemnb9/5

[Baldrick]

Create the folder?

And search in the vlc forums if that doesn't help because I'm going to bed now...

[la321]

I already tried creating the folder and vlc forum isn't helpful they rarely reply to threads
