Users who insist that a player should asininely wait for the actual, desired, last-opened stream to start playing, and only display an error after a settable timeout, instead of bouncing back to playing a perfectly working, prevously opened stream, should be clearly told switch to a different player...

Playing something, anything, no matter whether it's intended or not by the user,
is always better than revealing that that the desired stream is broken or slow starting.

I think it would be a good idea to completely disable any button that selects whether opened items are automatically added to the playlist, because that should be an unavoidable hardwired behaviour on account of the many advantages it brings to all users, first of all going back to playing a previou...

Is it possible to automatically dump all previosly opened entries in the playlist when opening a single file? Can it be made a default? I suspect this is already possible, but can't figure out whether and how. I have a large collection of streaming files (pls, m3u, etc.) and podcasts. I find it con...

+1 This has been going on for several years and acording to reports it seems to affect VLC only. Neither playing with cache nor disabling acceleration makes and difference. In my latest search I notice no mention of this being connected to the streaming bitrate. I now have a collection of streaming ...
