The VideoLAN Forums

Hi Hi~

I saw a reply made by markfm on making screenshots, and followed the instructions to download the VLCbeta of 0.82 (screenshots made easy!)

Right away, a big downfall with vlc0.82, is the inability to offer an installer for the program---so what I did was "replace" all the files, with the ones for 0.82 (not very tidy, but it worked!)

Now, screenshot making is much easier (ctrl + s)--- but there seems to be a problem with the program making playlists with 0.82--compared to the ease of making them in 0.81~! (I wonder why?)

Here are the steps that worked in 0.81--but fail in 0.82~

First, I would access the maker:




I immediately noticed this "new" feature called general--but chose the videofiles anyway, and set them in playback order:





..and saved the list:










I then right-clicked to open the created m3u list in WordPad--just to check out if anything was wrong (I.E; out of order listing, path problems; etc)---and I only get a blank page~!





Why was this playlist maker messed with--from version 0.81~?
It worked so well, with downloaded video files that I did not want to take the time to "join" together (or pay for a joiner proggy)

I cannot speak about the playlist, but the installer will be available in a release -- the nightly builds are "convenience" items to let people see how the development is progressing, check it out. Unzipping the nightly build, dropping it in over the existing videolan/vlc directory, is the right thing to do.

xie xie markfm~!

...for clearing up the "installer" issue ~

Can anyone help me with the playlist problem~?

it's a known problem, and will be fixed before the release. (Or rather the release will be delayed till it is fixed)

sigmund dou xie~!

..for the reply~

I am so glad to hear that it is a problem, and will soon be fixed~!
