If it sounds complicated, then think of it like this: You open a video, instead of playing it from the start you directly navigate to some point in the video and play it until it reaches another point. If needed, you can open multiple videos-one at a time-with specific start and end times. There can be multiple start and end points for a single video.

This special trick allows you to specify a video file as well as the start and end time for it. It’ll allow you to play only certain parts of a video. If you want to keep the bookmarks in VLC for the next time, then use this special trick. But once the player is shut off or closed, the bookmarks are lost forever. The bookmark feature in the player is useful for bookmarking and playing the currently active media file at different points or time. You can type the time in with your number keys and press Enter to go there without using the mouse.Using VLC Media Player, if you want to play a certain portion of a video/audio and then skip some segments and then resume playing, then there is a special playlist trick that can be used. Shift + Left or Right arrow: Jump 3 seconds back or forwardĪlt + Left or Right arrow: Jump 10 seconds back or forwardĬtrl + Left or Right arrow: Jump 1 minute back or forwardĬtrl + Alt + Left or Right arrow: Jump 5 minute back or forwardĬtrl + T : Go to a specific time in the file.

Use these keys to effectively rewind or fast forward, whether you need to hear something again or skip ahead.

Skip Ahead or Back VLC has several different key combinations that let you “jump” forward or back in the file without needing to use your mouse cursor. Also check developer logs to see if any bugs have been reported recently. I know Windows Server 2012 utilizes ReFS as well as 8.1 so there is a chance that the new file system is causing an issue. I suggest to re-install the software if the problem continues. It is more than likely a issue with operating system update if it all of the sudden started happening.
