Interesting, the #vlc #configuration #file needed to be #reset *again* - appears to be some #bug ... This is #fixed by completely #resetting all configuration. If it happens again I will grab a #screenshot and #write a #coffeespace #article so that people can #search for the #solution online - I cannot personally find any other person talking about how to fix this. Very weird...

As mentioned in the following article, YAML is *actively* hostile towards any kind of complex structure: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog.. The other benefit for something like JSON is that it is parsed by #js really easily and looks like a #cfamily language.
