Hello,

I have a .bat file that can open all my songs in once :

folder MUSIC
sub-folders : Other, Classical, R&B, ....

Command is : start vlc.exe "C:\Users\Jerome\Music\"

BUT i want that the R&B folder doesn't be played in the list of VLC. I also don't want to move the R&B folder, i want it in C/Users/Jerome/Music/R&B

So what command line can i use ? something like "i open all EXCEPT R&B folder"...

Thanks a lot !

Up ?

I don't know an exclusion command, sorry.
You could add all your wanted subfolders by command line to playlist, but that's not really beautiful, I know.

It's not a problem if it's not beautiful.

I tried :
The problem is : this works up to a point and that being that it'll add the folders, then choose one at random, expand all files within that one chosen, then play a random file within.

This would work fine if there were only one file within each folder but in my case there are many many files within each and I'm adding to them constantly. Probability kicks in and the next file VLC chooses 'at random' is most-likely to be one of the files from the first expanded folder.

What I'd like is to open VLC with multiple folders added to a playlist, expand all files within those folders enqueued, then start playing the whole list at random.

Any ideas ?

Up !
