Hi, The usage instructions explains only how to activate the plugin for Windows version of VLC player. Here, I put the instruction for the Mac version of VLC 3:

Go to VLC -> Preferences

Restart VLC player and the plugin should work.

The usage instructions explains only how to activate the plugin for Windows version of VLC player.

Although the screenshots are of the Windows VLC, they work for both Windows and Linux as VLC uses the same Qt-based interface on those platforms, it's identical, so the instructions are not Windows-only.

I don't own a Mac system, so I can't take any macOS screenshots and I'm rather clueless as to what VLC uses for the user interface on macOS (I think I heard sometime ago that it uses naive macOS interface over the Qt based one on macOS? not sure), but from the screenshots I have seen on the web, the interface looks closely enough to that of what VLC uses on Windows and Linux, so the Windows instructions and screenshots, while not 100% accurate, should work fine for macOS.

I can make separate instructions for MacOS, with the text corrected for macOS VLC, with macOS screenshots, if you are willing to provide all 7 of the screenshots from the Usage section.

Forgot to mention, if you provide the 7 screenshots, don't circle things in red in them, provide just plain screenshots without any editing.

Well, can't make macOS instructions without all of the screenshots and you are not providing them, so there is nothing I can do here. Closing the issue.
