The VideoLAN Forums

I just installed the latest version of VLC and have been playing around with it. There doesn't seem to be any way to close a file without exiting VLC, at least I can't figure out how.

Here's how I open files, Open Media>Open File>Add a file>Play. When it's done I would like to close the file without exiting VLC. Is this possible? I've tried deleting the file from the list, but that didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean with "closing a file"?
VLC's interface resemsbles a CD player. If you want to stop a file from playing, hit the STOP button (has a grey rectangle on it). With PAUSE you pause (two vertical lines).
