The VideoLAN Forums

Apparently an old bug from ten years ago cropped up again, VLC steals focus at playlist progression when there is another program in fullscreen mode.
In my case I was listening to some mp3s in vlc while having dosbox in fullscreen. At every new song vlc would steal the focus.
I set the "raise interface" option to "never", but that didn't change anything. Any ideas how to circumvent the issue?

(OS: Kubuntu 20.04, VLC version 3.0.9.2)

Edit: It only seems to trigger with certain media files, both audio and video. I have not been able to ascertain what those files have in common.

Hi Berlioz,

I do not know any solution at all.

In my vlc I watch that:
In a video-playlist with different file-extensions like mpg, avi, mp4 and so on
the settings 'crop' or 'site-relation'
(that I changed during playing)
continiouse or breakes
with beginning the new song
depend on the file-extension.

As far as I remember
avis continue the settings
and mp4s not.
