Settings reset with every start

[OrpheusK]

Hi, I want the VLC player to remember certain settings: most importantly, the player should close after a video has played. So I tick the appropriate menu item, but with the next start, the player behaves as before. How can I configure the program so that it ALWAYS closes down immediately after a video?

If you use Windows and if you know basics of the registry / file associations, then you can modify media file associations to append "vlc://quit" to vlc call. Everytime you launch VLC from Explorer, it will close at the end of the video.

I don't know how the original command value looks like, but result may looks like this:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --start-from-file "%1" "vlc://quit"

or

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --start-from-file %l "vlc://quit"

Much simpler solution may exists..
