Copy/Move between PlayList & Media Library
Posted: 23 Dec 2011 19:19
I recently installed VLC Media Player 1.1.11. My operating system is Windows XP, SP2.
I think I have read all the wiki instructions, and also searched this forum, but I cannot find an answer to my problem.
If I am playing a radio station, it shows in Playlist. I then want to copy the station to the Media Library. Or vice versa. How do I do that? All I have been able to do is right click on the entry, go to Information, select the Location, open Media Player (or Playlist as the case may be),right click->Advanced Open, select Network, then enter the URL, and under Enqueue, select Play. This seems like a very convoluted way to achieve the task. Is there a simpler way that I have just missed?
I also have a few other questions.
1. In the Media Library I have created several folders, and then added files under each folder. These file lists are getting quite long. Is there any way to collapse the folder, so none of the files show until I want them to?
2. If I right click on one of the files in my Media Library, there is an option to "Show Containing Folder." But clicking on that does nothing. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known flaw?
3. If I select Playback->BookMarks->Manage Bookmarks, Edit Bookmarks opens, If an audio is playing, and I select Create, the song is added with a specific time. But clicking on the entry does nothing. And if I go to Media Library, select another station, and go back to Playback->Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks, clicking on the entry again does nothing. And if I close and reopen VLC, the Bookmark is gone. Is this a flaw with Bookmarks?
Thanks for creating such a great and flexible program. It certainly has more capabilities that I do!
