Code: [Select]
executable = C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
arguments = "%ITEM_FILEPATH%" --fullscreenThat's the default location of the executable if you installed it using the default path. Otherwise change that to where you have vlc installed.

Do you not have to remove the hashtag from before your list.path for the roms location?

sorry been a while since I added system to RetroFE, just tried and it's not launching for me either.. It's Sunday and I'm feeling a tad delicate after last night ;)

Sorry my mistake, i got it running, my relative path was wrong
Below worked for me, i think it depends on where you run your shortcut from. I use the main one in the root folder but if you run a shortcut from the exe in the core folder you need to go one folder up...
executable = .\emulators\vlc\VLCPortable.exe
arguments = "%ITEM_FILEPATH%" --fullscreen

Your folder structure is completely different to mine.
I have everything under C:\RetroFE so VLC in my emulator folder is C:\RetroFE\emulators\VLC\VLCPortable.exe
My mp4's are located in
C:\RetroFE\roms\vlc\roms
My collection settings are
list.extensions = mp4
list.menuSort = yes
list.path = roms\vlc\roms\
and my launcher is
executable = .\emulators\vlc\VLCPortable.exe
arguments = "%ITEM_FILEPATH%" --fullscreen
You will need to change that to suit you folder structure but it might be better to just use absolute paths to get it all right

Always good to change your windows settings to show file extensions, you would have picked up on it sooner
