The VideoLAN Forums

Hello. New here but have been using vlc for years (since .84 I think) to run video playlists from ripped DVD images using DVDsimple. My playlist has about 2000 entries and has worked well. I recently discovered syntax changes (/// instead of // ) when using dvdsimple and # instead of @ to start at a specific title. Here is my issue: the Pre-2.x versions of the player would jump from random title to random title as per the playlist, skipping the menus thanks to the dvdsimple command.
In the post 2.0 versions the menus are skipped but the titles on the DVD seem to get played in order beginning with the one I pointed at in the playlist entry, instead of moving to the next entry on the playlist.

For example:
Here is a typical entry from Pre 2.x that worked as desired:
Dvdsimple://T:\Star Trek S1\S1D1.iso@2
So that entry would play the 2nd title on that disc, then randomly advance to another title on another disc image, based on what was in the playlist, and continue to randomly jump around forever. I call it having my own tv channel with all my favorite shows and movies. Love it!

However in vlc 2.x the modified entry
Dvdsimple:///T:\Star Trek S1\S1D1.iso#2
Would play title 2 on that disc then 3,4,5 and on until all the remaining titles on the DVD image have been played, before randomly moving to the next entry on the playlist.
The results in seeing three or four episodes of one show before moving on to another one, instead of seeing on Episode then moving on.
Anybody have any idea where I am going wrong ?
Thanks and thanks to the developers for several years and hundreds of hours of enjoyment.

Just specify title range from 2 to 2. In your example:
Dvdsimple:///T:\Star Trek S1\S1D1.iso#2-2

P.S.: But i have to notive that VLC don't preserve subtitles tracks when you stream selected titles to output file. I don't know why and how to force VLC to rip selected titles with subtitles. Mencoder cannot do that. In my case i have to dump video/audio with mplayer (vlc always miss start of title, it also dump several milliseconds from previous title), and then i have to dump subtitles using mencoder separately.
