Play / Playlist context menu and AutoRun function

[madmetz]

VLCMP 1.1.11+ related

1.
Settings(extended) -> Input/Codecs -> Demuxer -> Playlist -> AutoRun
This setting affects both, a playlist double-click as well as a media file double-click.
Playlist -> AutoRun should only affect a playlist but not a media file.

2.
In addition to that I found the following behavior:
The '--no-playlist-enqueue' parameter within the registry's prog-id (e.g. vlc.mp3) command has no effect.
The item (e.g. mp3 song) will be added to the playlist anyway.
In total there should be 3 different functions:
--> Play normal (without adding to playlist) -> --started-from-file --no-playlist-enqueue
--> Play and Add to playlist---------------------> --started-from-file --playlist-enqueue
--> Add to playlist but do not play-------------> --playlist-enqueue

[VLC_help]

VLC always adds items to playlist.

--playlist-enqueue, --no-playlist-enqueue
Enqueue items to playlist when in one
instance mode (default disabled)
When using the one instance only option, enqueue items to playlist
and keep playing current item. (default disabled)

Thanks for answering the second part of my post.
But the first part is the more important one !!!!!

Here it's again:

Settings(extended) -> Input/Codecs -> Demuxer -> Playlist -> AutoRun
This setting affects both, a playlist file double-click as well as a media file double-click.
But PLAYLIST -> AutoRun should only affect a playlist file but not a media file.

Code: Select all

--playlist-autostart, --no-playlist-autostart Auto start (default enabled) Automatically start playing the playlist content once it's loaded.

As all items opened in VLC create a playlist, this applies to all items.

What I did here can only be a workaround --- but at least it's what I wanted:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.flv] @="Flash Video Datei [VLC]" . . . [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.flv\shell\AddToPlaylistVLC] @="Zur VLC Media Player Wiedergabeliste hinzufügen" -------------------------> = "Add to playlist" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.flv\shell\AddToPlaylistVLC\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe\" --started-from-file --playlist-enqueue --no-playlist-autostart \"%1\""

Again a lot of work to change all prog-ids in the registry....
But now I can add some/many files to the playlist without playing it (or stopping it after autostart)
