Pause between playlist items

Postby WaruKamii » 26 Aug 2024 17:26

Hello,
I've got the following situation: I have multiple big playlists with videos. Currently, whenever one video ends and the next one starts the new one starts immediately and it's a bit jarring, so I want to have a pause of around 3 seconds between each and every video in the playlist. Is there a smart way to do this, besides making a 3s long black-screen video and putting it between every single item in the playlist? That'd be a lot of clutter. Having the video pause at the end and manually starting the next one is not an option either, it needs to be automated.

Add an item "vlc://pause:3" (without quotes) between the files of your playlist.

Is that really the best option? Since I cannot simply copy-paste the pause item in the playlist window (no clue why copy-paste isn't a feature there yet), I'd have to go through the "add item" dialogue a few hundred times which doesn't sound particularly fun.

Or save the playlist then use a text editor for adding the pause items.
