Hello all,

I use VLC to play IPTV.
I launch it by "vlc https:\\aaa.com\bbb.m3u" (or set it as a default stream in preferences).
I'd like VLC on startup to open the last viewed channel, without every time necessity to open playlist and scroll.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

That doesn't seem possible with VLC 3 but possible with VLC 4...

You can try a nigthly build if you don't want to wait, with these options :

Code: Select all

      --restore-playback-pos {0 (Never resume playback where it was left off), 1 (Ask when the playback starts), 2 (Always resume playback where it was left off)} 
                                 Continue playback
          Should the playback resume where it was left off?
      --restore-playback-states, --no-restore-playback-states 
                                 Resume last playback states
                                 (default disabled)
          This will resume the last playback state, such as the selected
          tracks, rate, aspect-ratio, ...
