Hi,

only a minor issue, but it keeps bugging me:
When playing several files, I sometimes delete some (phyisically, not from the playlist) before they are played. When the playlist gets to the respective entry, I get the usual "Error" notification, where I can click the "hide future errors" window. This works fine, but the error windows pops up again after shutting VLC down and restarting it.

How do I set "hide future errors" to permanent mode, i.e., how do I make VLC just skip to the next file instead of notifying me.
I already tried setting VLC to silent (Tools>Preferences>Interface>Be Quiet), but VLC does not seem to care

Any help appreciated

nobody?

nobody?

...sorry, I'm not sure if I saw this before, but I just tested a solution, so I'm posting it now...

1. In VLC, click Tools ► Preferences
2. At the bottom left, for Show settings, click All
3. At the top left, for Search, paste the string: unimportant
4. In the box below Search, click: Qt
5. On the right-side, near the very bottom, uncheck Show unimportant error and warnings dialogs
6. Click Save
7. Close VLC to commit the pref change (otherwise, if VLC crashes, this change {or some changes} might not be saved)
8. Run VLC & see if that fixes the problem

Note: To VLC devs: The string "Show unimportant error and warnings dialogs" is slightly bad English ("too plural"), I would recommend "Show unimportant errors & warnings" or "Show unimportant error & warning dialogs".

woooohoooooooo!
It works, great, thank you soooo much!!!!!

I bow to the superior (wo?)man
