Agreed! I'd like this change or an option to enable it.Thanks Jean-Baptiste.
In MPC-HC and in Windows Media player the playlist is cleared when a new playlist file is loaded.
So this behavior in VLC is not the norm and it should not be forced upon the user. There should a setting in VLC that would toggle between an appending and non-appending playlist mode.
we just asking for an option, it's not like we want VLC to behave like what we wants only. in the end we will have 2 options that fits everyone needs. I wish you could help with this. Thank you.I like the default VLC behavior.
The argument can be made other players are forcing their behavior on users.
The big difference is with VLC we can actually write a comment that the developers will read and the lead developer will respond to.
With that said, a "behavior switch" /setting sounds nice. Maybe I should learn how to program. There are people here doing some real low-level stuff, I wonder if high level UI (user interface) issues might be something I can help with.
Hello Sir, please we need an option for this and Thanks in advance.Sorry, but this is the correct behaviour. USe Ctrl+W to empty the playlist.
Please Jean give us an option for this and thank you so much for such an amazing Player!Sorry, but this is the correct behaviour. USe Ctrl+W to empty the playlist.
Code: Select all
killall vlc & sleep .01 && vlc %U
xdotool windowactivate --sync 77594630 key ctrl+wYes!!! ... from me too! Please add this feature! Even just a command for doing the same as Ctrl+W does.
Otherwise, at the end of the day I would have a totally full and cluttered playlist.
I found a workaround though. Since the playlist gets deleted on closing, I use the following command. And I added it to the "Play"-entry in the context-menu of my file-browser.
This is the command:
Code: Select all
killall vlc & sleep .01 && vlc %U
It's a bit russian, but it works!
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
xdotool windowactivate --sync 77594630 key ctrl+w & sleep .01
vlc <PATH TO XSPF file>
Code: Select all
xdotool search --name vlc
Code: Select all
vlc --no-playlist-enqueue
