The VideoLAN Forums

Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum and also have limited knowledge on Ubuntu. I am volunteering at an Aviation Museum and they asked me to create a playlist on VLC to be played continuously on a Ubuntu computer.
Here is what I have tried so far. VLC loads ok, but not in full screen and then I get an error message.

Can anyone help?
Here is the shell script:
/home/ch2a/.config/VLC.exe.desktop --loop --fullscreen /home/ch2a/ClipsSilverDart/silverdart.xspf

Here is the error message:
Your input can't be opened:

VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///home/ch2a/%25U'. Check the log for details.

I do not know where I can find the log for details.
Thank you

Hi, can you post your playlist file ? (a minimal version that reproduce the issue for you)

> VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///home/ch2a/%25U'

%25 is the symbol %, so file:///home/ch2a/%25U is /home/ch2a/%U.

> /home/ch2a/.config/VLC.exe.desktop --loop --fullscreen /home/ch2a/ClipsSilverDart/silverdart.xspf

Why do you run VLC.exe.desktop?
