Hi all,
I answer to myself: I found the solution :-)
I got it from after leaving the "Basic" preferences and switched to "Show All"
in VLC preferences.
In fact there are two points to understand the solution:
1. VLC app 3.0.0 still contains Growl Framework, but in fact seem to have ended
using it (maybe removed later?)
=> in the "Show all" version of the preferences you discover that Interfaces >
Control interfaces
now proposes OS X Notification plugin instead of Growl
2. You get it work correctly by using the checkbox above in the "Show all" (advanced) preferences
("OS X Notification plugin"), whereas using the checkbox in the basic preferences ("Enable
notifications...") does not enable it (maybe a bug?).
That's now clear.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
-Yann.

Hi all,
Yes Chris, as I tried to explain in my very first message (included in the
included message ;-))
I can't get any visible notifications with VLC 3.0.0 (even after upgrading
Growl FW inside)
whereas I still can easily get notifications with former version VLC 2.2.8
(after upgrading Growl FW inside)
Yes there is a switch to enable "Growl notifications" (explicitely mentioning
Growl) in VLC (3.0.0 and 2.2.8) preferences, which is enabled for me.
I also tried to switch it off and back on to ensure it was taken into account
with VLC 3.0.0 without any success.
I also ran VLC 3.0.0 on a fresh user session on another macOS (High Sierra)
without Growl installed.
I thought upgrading the Growl FW inside with Growl Detective would trigger
Apple Notification Center... But nothing with VLC 3.0.0, whereas I correctly
get Apple notifications in that case with VLC 2.2.8
As a simple user, I would say that they kept the same Growl Framework inside
the new version of VLC 3.0.0, but they don't use it ;-) But of course I don't
know...
Regards.
-Yann.

Can you describe not working a bit more Yann? i.e. there's simply no
notifications? If so maybe they added a preference for notifications which you
have to go enable.
I'm just guessing though.

Hi all,
Does anybody succeed to get Growl notification with new VLC 3.0.0?
Or you confirm that you can get them only with previous version 2.2.8 as
described in the previous message?

Hello Charlie,
Thanks for you answer. Since it addresses the problem with VLC, I prefer to
answer in the right topic.

VLC 3.0.0 has Growl Framework 1.2.2
I agree. Exactly the same as VLC 2.2.8
Can't update the FW before the first open of VLC (macOS verification on
first open says it is damaged), after verify Upgrade FW via Growl Version
detective looks to have worked.
The same for me: Growl Version Detective displays the same version 2.0
(meaning success?) after upgrading FW in VLC-2.2.8 and VLC-3.0.0
But, after, for me there is a difference:
VLC 2.2.8 now displays notifications
VLC 3.0.0 remains silent
In Growl 2.1.3 for VLC the only Notifications rule I see is New input
playing.
I agree, the description of the only notification is kept the same for VLC
2.2.8 and VLC 3.0.0 (and all the previous for years).
And you can enable this only one notification in VLC preferences (first pane,
"Interface", of basic preferences).
Not sure where the setting is set enable notification for next playlist
item in VLC.
Maybe have I been unclear with my sentence only speaking of skipping to
next song:
for years this only notification of "New Input playing" is triggered
* when you start a new track by drag'n'dropping a file (e.g. a music
file) in VLC
* and also when the music skips (automatically or manually) to the next
track of the VLC playlist
I get notifications with VLC 2.2.8 in the above two conditions (after
upgraging FW 1.2.2 to 2.0 with Growl Detective).
I can't get none of them with VLC 3.0.0 (even after performing the same
upgrade).
macOS 10.13.3
macOS Sierra 10.12.6 for me,
but tested also with same result on a 10.13

Hi,
As discussed in another topic, Chris suggested to use Grow Version
Detective to bring back growl notifications for VLC (2.2.8).
It worked for me with the following config:
* macOS Sierra
* VLC 2.2.8, built-in with Growl FW 1.2.2
=> after upgrading VLC with Growl Version Detective, each time you skip to
the next media file in VLC, you get a notification. Perfect.
But with the brand new version 3.0.0 of VLC released meantime (yesterday),
the suggestion does not work any longer whereas they use the same FW1.2.2 and
the detective correctly upgrades it to 2.0
Did I miss something?
Do other users manage to get notifications from VLC 3.0.0?
Regards.
-Yann.
