How to restore offscreen VLC?


If I've understood the problem correctly(?), you might try this:

1. Open VLC and select it in the taskbar so it is the currently selected application (even though you can't see it)
2. Let go of the mouse and be careful not to move it until step 6
3. Use the Alt-Spacebar key combination
4. There should be a little pop-up menu which appears. If 'Move' is an option, use the downward cursor/arrow key to select it and press enter. If 'Restore' is an option, select that option with the cursor keys, press Enter and go back to step 3
5. Once you've selected Move, be careful to not move the mouse. Instead, hit one of the cursor/arrow keys (left/right/up/down) a couple of times
6. *Then* move the mouse. With any luck the VLC window should come into view and you can re-position it.

 

VLC 3.0 Released


The best free media player is getting even better. After three years of development, VLC 3.0 ‘Ventari’ is rolling out to all platforms, and it’s packed full of goodies such as Chromecast support. ....
The latest version of VLC contains a lot of great additions, as well as a tweaked UI. Chromecast discovery tops the list. It’s only available on Windows desktop and Android right now, but Videolan says the feature’s coming to VLC’s iOS and the Windows Store apps in the future.

VideoLAN designed VLC’s Chromecast support as a workaround for any media formats Chromecast can’t natively support. VLC can re-encode video on the fly to make it work with Chromecast, including casting DVDs from your Windows machine. - VLC 3.0 adds Chromecast and 360-degree video support | PCWorld

VLC issue

I just installed a new video card last night, and everything seems to be working fine.
I've got the latest drivers, software updates, blah blah blah.
Except...

when i play a show/movie whatever in VLC, and i click to fullscreen the video file, the screen goes blank for a few seconds (3 to 4) before it comes back on. The audio also goes out as well (although thats probably because i'm using the audio pass-through feature of my video card).
This has never happened before.
I've updated VLC to the latest version, and re-installed it after i installed the new video card.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
