The information I needed. Thank you.

When I click View>Playlist, how can I "point" VLC so it defaults to a different directory or drive where my music is stored .

Thank you. That was helpful.

My folders (often classical) usually contain a series of movements that should play in continuous sequence. When I select a single movement it plays and then VLC stops (not quits) until I go back to the folder and select the next "track". Is there some way to set up the playlist so it is c...

Bless you Sir!

My final reply. Thanks to your support my radio playlist is working as I had hoped. I very much appreciate your assistance.

I strongly support the previous questioners! There is only one snarky reply that doesn't address the question. I'm sure the VLC users are better than that. Indeed, the fine program needs a comprehensible manual (which could be for sale to raise revenue) or even a book. What is the obstacle?

I imagine you would like to be done with this topic, so here is a text that sums up what I'm trying to do.

Thanks again chubinou. Here is my try at getting the log into Pastebin. I deleted several repetitive sections to get the file under the 512kb limit. Please let me know if this works.

I am working at the limits of my computer knowledge, so please forgive the stumbles. I finally got the logfile up to Pastebin. Since Pastebin has no information for novices, I'm not sure how to tell you where to retrieve the file. My best shot: The .txt file is named VLC log Schultz It is in my acco...

I have a logfile to submit, but I can't make it attach to this reply. It is 228KB. Saved as a .txt file.I can copy and paste it in windows, but I can't make it "stick" here. Help please?

V. 3.0.6 on Windows 10. Did a full search for "vlc-log.txt" without finding anything. Is some setting involved to turn on logging?

Windows firewall was blocking VLC access to streaming stations. Adding URL to Exceptions in firewall opened it up.

Not an answer, sorry. Just a "me too". I can not find the location of the log file in Windows 10. I found a cryptic suggestion to search for "vlc-log.txt" but that didn't turn up anything. I'd love a bit more explanation.

How can I insert multiple PLC links into a single playlist?

My local public radio station recently changed its streaming "address". I have a functioning playlist with two other stations, but I cannot understand how to add the new address (yeah, I'm a noob). The link I need to add is: http://files.hawaiipublicradio.org/hpr2.pls. In addition, I have ...

This is what I have to work with: "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://hpr-ice.streamguys.org/kipo2'. Check the log for details." I know the url has changed slightly because of recent station changes, but I don't know where in my PC to find and edit it. I also don't know how to open the ...

My audio provider (Hawaii Public Radio)has altered the text of its streaming link slightly. Where do I find that information stored, so I can edit it directly on my Win10 PC? Thanks!

Thank you Lotesdelere and Kodela. You finally dragged me through the learning necessary to accomplish my goal. My biggest problem was the variation in radio URLs. It took a lot of trial and error, but finally it worked. I appreciate what you did.

My first tries at uploading an image: http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l608/kupuna2/VLC2_zpsaujp2yvl.jpg [/url] http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l608/kupuna2/VLC_zps2rbvuf45.jpg [/img] It looks like just a bit of correction will make this work and we will both be done with it. What's wrong at ...

Thank you. I'm new to this-and not much of a programmer. I recognize the code above to the extent that it creates three different radio streams for me to plug in my URLs , but I'd like to know the differences between "live.mp3" "stream" and master.pls" I do not know how to c...

I'm new at this. I want to assemble three or four specific streaming FM stations in a way that I can easily return to them and click on my choice to play. I pasted one station url into the Playlist window. That worked fine. Getting cocky, I pasted a second station into the same window. Now they play...

Insanely simple. Thank you very much!

I'm having trouble understanding how to install a prefabricated "playlist" file. My local public radio streams its content. Their site says that VLC is one of the options that will handle their live stream. They have posted the following playlist file with no instructions on how to install...
