Borderless VLC video in 10.10?

[RichardF]

Anyone getting this to work in Yosemite with VLC 2.1.5?

I have Preferences > Show video in main window and Window decorations (under the Video tab) both unchecked.

Worked fine and love it in Mavericks.

I was wondering this when I accidentally opened a video with QuickTime and noticed how nice it looked without the top border. Didn't even know it was a previous VLC feature, honestly. I'll keep an eye out.

VLC most likely needs an update to work properly with Yosemite due to the changes in the menu bars.

Thanks guys. We will give some time and I'll post again when I see an update from VLC...

MplayerX is way more optimized for mac, you should go for it

Just Googled it after your mentioning it.

Do you know if you can download YouTube videos with it? VLC can.

I have no idea actually

I've just tried it, and it gave me 3h+ of battery than VLC

Yes, I got it working - by unchecking stuff at random (or almost all boxes in preferences and then in Advanced/Interface/macosx)

This is how my prefs look like

I simply unchecked everything there to see if it did anything and now I gots me the borderless window - all personal problems solved .. next: world hunger!

(and it's version 2.1.5 on Yosemite)

Sujo's settings worked for me.

I got my borderless video window back.

To make it work you must uncheck native full screen control on main page and then on video tab disable window decoration and you will have it ....at least it works on newest nightlies
