Hi friends!
I need to run VLC from the command prompt and start [laying a certain file.
i.e.
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc --start-time=22.4 C:\test1.mp3
My question is that if VLC is already open, it opens another instance of the application using the file I designated to play.
How can I have VLC sswitch to the mp3 file I designate without starting a new instance?
TIA
Susan

Re: Command line issues
Tools -> Preferences (Show settings = All) -> Advanced
There are two options:
Allow only one running instance
One instance when started from file
Make sure both options are ticked, save the preferences then exit and restart VLC.
