   Many thanks! I’d been searching for ages for a way to disable those annoying vlc systray tooltips.

   Thank you, that is the most annoying thing, I almost uninstalled VLC because of that garbage. =)

   Same here, almost got rid of VLC for this! Trying to turn it off is just as annoying as the popup itself!

   Surprised that such an amazing player has this so hidden in menu’s.

   I don’t think it was much of a bother on my end, but it certainly does become annoying when I am in a musical trance and trying to complete a task. To have my thoughts interrupted by that pop up though, can irritate me beyond words.
   I had recently re-installed VLC and had scoured the preference menu for that very option. I must have been looking for the wrong thing.
   I really appreciate the helping hand, much love.

   I just thought the sound was annoying. I don’t want to hear that little bubble sound every time the track changes.
   Thanks!

   Thanks for this! If only it weren’t hidden so deep in the preferences.

   I can’t believe they thought it’d be a good idea to turn it on by default. A media player that makes unnecessary sounds over the top of what it’s playing – what were they thinking?
