The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to specify a fixed playlist name and then have the playlist updated periodically if the playlist file has changed.

I wanted to write a script to create a playlist of all video files in a specified directory, and then then have VLC refresh the contents of its playlist periodically.

Thanks in advance,
Markus

You currently can't.

It's planned to add directory or file watcher in the next release

OK. Thanks.
