Playing of all files in a directory on Pc

Postby Quizzman » 25 Sep 2024 22:14

Good day all,
So, bottom line, a question that was asked before and never answered to my satisfaction. Why is it that VLC cannot play all videos in a single directory after the first video is started? Without having to accomplish the task the other two ways of performing the same task.
VLC android does it why isn't VLC for PC able to. Is there a greater advantage using smb server? The android version plays all files in the directory in the order they appear in the directory over lan. That in itself was amazing, over lan. Mx player will play all files on board but not over lan. That deservers a WELL DONE GUYS if anything does.
Are there Windows safeguards preventing it? Or is it, two ways already exsist so why bother?
You know us users, we want simplicity over having to perform a few extra clicks.
Laziness prevails in most people and if you use Windows we're all fed up with having to click 2 to 4 times to accomplish the same tasks, that in Windows 7 were done with one click.

So yes, the ability to select the first video in any directory, and have vlc play all videos in the directory would be beneficial when using VLC PC version.

Thanks for your attention
