I've tried all kinds of stuff and I can't get the playlist to open by command line. I know I can just leave it open and it will be open the next time but I'd prefer making sure using the command line.


I've tried many things like this mess:
vlc.exe --playlist-autostart --show-intf --interact -I --wx-playlist-view 1--advanced

-I playlist
--extraintf playlist
--control playlist


It doesn't seem to help.

you have to tune the window position settings:

look at the config file when playlist is visible:

wx-config-last=(-1,0,0,1024,768)(0,480,60,355,105)(1,44,58,500,300)(6,0,0,-1,150)

and when it's not:

wx-config-last=(-1,0,0,1024,768)(0,480,60,355,105)(6,0,0,-1,150)

so you'll have to use --wx-config-last="xxxxx"

Thanks for the help but it doesn't seem to be making the playlist visible. I've tried:

vlc.exe --wx-config-last=(-1,0,0,1024,768)(0,480,60,355,105)(1,44,58,500,300)(6,0,0,-1,150) playlist.m3u
vlc.exe --wx-config-last "(-1,0,0,1024,768)(0,480,60,355,105)(1,44,58,500,300)(6,0,0,-1,150)" playlist.m3u

and even tried guessing tags like --wx-playlist and numerous combinations of commands with no luck. I've tried the configuration you mentioned. I can't get it to work.



*edit

Oh you're right it works, but only when I disable the skin. I didn't think the skin would make the difference. For some reason this is the only thing different in the configuration file.

playlist visible
[plwin pllayout 1323 269 248 303 1]
not visible
[plwin pllayout 1323 269 248 303 0]

this worked
--skins2-config="[eqwin eqwinlayout 100 463 261 148 0][main video 492 445 602 451 1][minwin minilayout 100 100 265 71 0][plwin pllayout 1323 269 248 303 1]"

Isn't there any way that works today even by Linux?
