The difference between the two is that “ Add to VLC media player’s Playlist ” will add the tracks to the end of the playlist and will play when the previous tracks are finished. “ Play with VLC media player ” on the other hand overwrites the rest of the playlist and plays the highlighted tracks immediately. Go to the VLC media player window, open the 'Tools' dropdown, and select 'Preferences' from the list. Select the Video tab 3. I fixed I fixed it on my Mac ( running Mojave as well) navigate to library folder Cisco folder find the video guard player folder and delete the whole thing. Then I went to direct TV website and tried to stream a channel figuring the website will install the player.

The VLC menu
This menu gives you access to non-operational types of commands.
- About VLC media player gives the usual version and creator information,
- Check for Update will tell you if there is a newer version released than the one you are using,
- Preferences gives you access to a very wide range of settings for the program,
- Extensions some text,
- Add Interface enables other ways of getting access to VLC functionality other than the Graphical User Interface programme,
- Services some text,
- the others are standard OSX options which do not affect VLC functionality.
Preferences
Preferences are usually default settings that operate in the background to the operations you want to perform. These are therefore not part of the standard user interface because it is believed you will probably only want access to these occasionally if at all. Should you want to do something a little (or a lot) non-standard then these preferences are important. They allow you to choose non-default audio output channels (e.g. your headphones) or select sub-titles as well as more technical things that probably require some knowledge of video file structures or other in depth knowledge.
The preference sections available under VLC are:
- Interface - Choosing and configuring the alternate interfaces
- Audio - which audio to play through which channels
- Video - which video to play through which channels
- Subtitles & OSD - Some text
- Input & Codecs - How to interpret the video file
- Hotkeys - Some text
Add Interface
If you are using VLC on your Mac to display video on the same Mac's screen(s) then this may be of little interest to you.
The alternate interfaces currently offered are:
- Mouse gestures where you can control VLC by simply moving the mouse
- Web interface for controlling VLC over a network using a browser
- Debug logging
- Console *nix-style non-graphical interfaces
