VLC automatically starting next file. How do I turn off?

[jpartin]

I am running the latest version of VLC player and using Windows7, and have never had this problem before. It will automatically play the next file I have in the folder, which is a major pain in the butt, as I use it watch video files to fall asleep, and keep waking up in the middle of the night to turn it off. On my previous laptop, I didn't have this problem. How do I turn off the automatic playing of the next file on the list?

Use the --play-and-pause option.
