VLC 2.2.4 - how to turn on the option "pause on left mouse click"?

Okay I succeeded a installation of the plugin. It's working for me, it wasn't easy I guess I didn't have the right files at first. Sorry if you can't understand french.

First this I used 2.2.4

I downloaded the 64bit version (even if my vlc is 32 bits, my os is 64) You can see here:enter image description here

You extract the dll in the folder: C:\Program Files(x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\video_filter enter image description here

Then in the settings you follow the instructions:

I've set it up to middle mouse button, It's more handy, left is for full screen, right is for small menu so. enter image description here

Restart VLC to load the newly added plugin
Go into advanced preferences: Tools -> Preferences -> Show settings -> All
Enable/Disable the plugin with a checkbox: (in advanced preferences) Video -> Filters -> Pause/Play video on mouse click
Enable/Disable the plugin with a checkbox: (in advanced preferences) Interface -> Control Interfaces -> Pause/Play video on mouse click
Change mouse button to the one you want: (in advanced preferences) Video -> Filters -> Pause click -> Mouse Button
Restart VLC for settings to take place
Play a video
Click on video picture to pause/play the video

don't forget to go to "advanced preferences" -> "interface" -> "control interfaces" and check the "Pause/play video on mouse click" button


I've finally managed to get the thing work. My solution is to install VLC 32-bit version with 32-bit plugin and all magically appears. If you have Windows 10 I recommend installing the 32-bit version. Other combinations didn't work in my case. Thank you for all your help.
