Skip Xseconds into each video in playlist

Postby iKomrad » 11 Oct 2011 14:06

I frequently queue up a number of TV episodes in a row in a video playlist. After watching a few episodes, it gets old watching the same episode introduction at the beginning of each episode. Is there a way to supply an offset to VLC of, for example, 30 seconds and have it apply that when playing each video in the list?

To clarify, say I'm watching season 1 of Lost as a playlist, and the standard intro to each episode lasts 30 seconds. VLC should start playing each episode 30 seconds into the video automatically.

That works great! I made a shortcut with that parameter as the default.

Much appreciated.
