 VLC doesn't have built-in support for [[Pipewire]] yet, but you can add it with [[https://www.remlab.net/vlc-plugin-pipewire/|vlc-plugin-pipewire]] ([[aur>vlc-plugin-pipewire]]). After installing you just need to go into the audio tab in preferences and set Pipewire as your output device.
+===== Screenshots =====
+You can customise the file names screen shots are given with variables:
+https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Format_String/
+Some useful ones:
+  * ''$N'' - Name, as in the one you see in the VLC playlist, so depends on metadata and fallsback to file name.
+  * ''$F'' - Full name with path.
+  * ''$A'' - Date.
+===== Streams =====
+Did you know you can put an [[RSS]] feed into the Streams URL entry? Handy for podcasts, especially as VLC will let you skip ahead to avoid ads :^)
+===== Skip ahead/back ======
+On Android the skip ahead/back function for audio is a little hidden.
+You can make buttons for it appears in the notification thingo.
+In the normal app window you have to switch to //cover mode// for the controls to appear. Press the Hamburger-with-little-play-button-icon to change to this mode. https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/-/issues/2263#note_293617
