That's the opposite of what I was asking for - there were potentially 47000 different extensions back in the days when it was 3 letters - let alone today. Using a media library to scan all my drives would find perhaps 150 "ignore" filetypes and 20 "include" filetypes. Either an &...

OK so as I understand it this will crash every version of of Vlc where a plugin can't cleanly parse metadata and there's no automatic soloution? How about a manual one then? an optional regexp in the options box that allows us the ability to filter what gets added - we can then edit it to remove the...

VLC is NOT a Windows(-only) program. And then we have no list of "supported extensions" anyway, since this depends on what plugins where built or installed separately, and changes over time. I never said VLC was A Windows only program, not only that I intend to use it with the OSX and lin...

Again the problem is that if you add a Directory it adds *everything* not just extensions VLC ...

I was hoping for a reply either confirming other people were seeing this bug/crash on other versions/platforms and hopefully that a fix is possible or telling me I was mad and I should go back to thee padded cell I escaped from and try compiling the source for myself.

I first noticed with win32 0.9.2 but it's still there with win32 0.9.4, when you add a directory it does not discriminate between (known)Media files and non-media files (or unknown...
