VLC Media Library and music folders

Postby 2mg » 07 Jun 2014 16:18

Hi,

I am trying to use Media Library and I've put my entire music collection folder into it and I am using the "Display playlist tree". What happens is that the next time I open VLC, the Media Library is displaying all of my music as one huge playlist, instead of folders.

Why?

PS: Is it possible for Media Library to display sub-folders before music tracks when I expand the main folder (in which I have some unsorted music)?

The same effect occurs when the playlist is saved and loaded again, although the playlist is broken down into sub-folders.

Here is an excerpt a playlist with three subfolders that are not shown:

Code: Select all

<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:node title="Deuter"> <vlc:node title="Cicada"> <vlc:item tid="0"/> <vlc:item tid="1"/> <vlc:item tid="2"/> <vlc:item tid="3"/> <vlc:item tid="4"/> <vlc:item tid="5"/> <vlc:item tid="6"/> <vlc:item tid="7"/> <vlc:item tid="8"/> </vlc:node> <vlc:node title="Nirvana_Road"> <vlc:item tid="9"/> <vlc:item tid="10"/> <vlc:item tid="11"/> <vlc:item tid="12"/> <vlc:item tid="13"/> <vlc:item tid="14"/> <vlc:item tid="15"/> <vlc:item tid="16"/> <vlc:item tid="17"/> <vlc:item tid="18"/> <vlc:item tid="19"/> <vlc:item tid="20"/> </vlc:node> <vlc:node title="Silence_Is_The_Answer"> <vlc:item tid="21"/> <vlc:item tid="22"/> <vlc:item tid="23"/> <vlc:item tid="24"/> <vlc:item tid="25"/> <vlc:item tid="26"/> <vlc:item tid="27"/> <vlc:item tid="28"/> <vlc:item tid="29"/> <vlc:item tid="30"/> <vlc:item tid="31"/> <vlc:item tid="32"/> <vlc:item tid="33"/> <vlc:item tid="34"/> <vlc:item tid="35"/> <vlc:item tid="36"/> <vlc:item tid="37"/> </vlc:node> </vlc:node> </extension>
Shown are only the first 21 pieces without subdivision.
