A portable application can be run from a removable drive (USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive, etc) on any Windows computer without installation.
You will carry the program with settings on removable drive and don't modify settings on host computer.
On Vista and above turn off User Account Control (UAC) or run launcher as admin.

Descarga e instala todos los idiomas menos el español.
Falta el archivo vlc.mo a la carpeta "ES" (Español).Alguna solucion gracias.

Bernat said...

You are right: there was an error in script of installer.
Installer updated.

Jalbot said...

Ahora si, muchas gracias Bernat por la solucion y por los programas portables.
Me gustaria mucho un portable del programa PhotoScape 3.6.5, que es excelente y gratis.
Saludos.

Hello is there a way to set only one instance for VLC?
I couldn't find any setting to disable multiple instances.

Thanks.

Bernat said...

If you have AllowMultipleInstances=false (default) in VLCPortable.ini you can launch only once VLC.

Virginio said...

Thanks,
I re-downloaded the installer and found the option.

Another issue: I'm opening a stream url via command line and I would like to change the stream with a second command line as well. If I use the VLCPortable.exe I get the alert message. If I use the \App\VLCwin32\vlc.exe then I get a second VLC instance opened.

Is there a way to be able to pass a parameter to the first instance of VLC via the VLCPortable.exe instead of getting the "Another VLC is running" alert?

Many thanks for your wonderful work.

PS Is there any source code available to try to modify the VLCPortable.exe myself eventually?

Virginio said...

Just saw the source code and I'm afraid it won't be easy at all :-( Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Bernat said...

I think you can't pass 2 command line to the same instance but you can pass several parameters (separated with space) in the same command line.

Is it possible to add VLC to Context menu (Shell integration)?

Bernat said...

No, would be no more portable.

How can i convert a Vlc media player's offline installer(.exe) file to portable version using this file.

Bernat said...

If vlc-3.0.2-win32.7z and/or vlc-3.0.2-win64.7z is found in online installer folder, it will be use and not downloaded again.

I selected x64 but in the later part of the dialogue, it is no longer English. Is it possible to update the installer to v.3x and in English?

Bernat said...

Nothing to update:
English is default (nothing to check)
Rename installer if you want.

i have set AllowMultipleInstances=true on my .ini file but only one instance it's allowed... how to open multiple VLC? (also i have uncheck "Allow only one instance" and "Use only one instance when started from file manager" from preference of VLC)

Lucius said...

if run VLC from app folder (not from VLCportable.exe) work with multiple instance correctly... the problem is your VLCportable.exe which does not support multiple instance

Bernat said...

You are right, can't run several instance.
I never run several instance of a player, and have no more time to spend: sorry.

Lucius said...

ok i wait your new release of VLCportable.exe (when you have time to change it!)

Bernat said...

Updated (you can extract only launcher from installer with 7-Zip and replace).

Lucius said...

oh great! work perfectly! Many thanks for your support. Regards

How can I insert a custom command line within the portable app? I'm trying to make VLC use an unbedded player withou title bar. The command is "--no-video-deco --no-embedded-video --video-x=100 --video-y=100". Thanks!

Bernat said...

VLCPortable.exe pass parameters: you can add them in a shortcut or in portable manager such as PStart.
