I'm also trying to reduce the switching time between the items of the playlist!!
Let me know if you gain some results or ideas on how to do it,
I'll do the same
Hy dionoea, I'm working on a project where I'll need the "playlist read ahead" functionality for a flicker free playlist playback. I just started reading the vlc code to find out where to modify it to have vlc reading the codec header of the next item before playing it, but I'll appreciate...
