Your launcher conf should contain this:

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

Your log.txt file would be more helpful to debug a problem.

Would you mind simply attaching the file in the forum? That site is full of adware/spyware, and my phone went haywire over it.

I don't see the movie launcher being loaded; are you sure it's in the launchers directory?
Please attach it as file next time in stead of posting it as (2) post(s).

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

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
