VLC Command Line doubling up files in playlist

[swemoney]

I have a strange problem when I try and load videos through the command line. Any time I add the --recursive or --playlist-tree flags to the command line, I get a double of any files/directories I try and load. For instance...

Code: Select all

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --ignore-filetypes "m3u,db,nfo,jpg,gif,sfv,txt,sub,idx,srt,cue,part" --fullscreen --random --quiet --recursive=expand ~/videos1 ~/videos2 ~/videos3

If those are all directories, VLC loads and the playlist looks like this...

Code: Select all

videos1 videos2 videos3 videos1 videos2 some_video_from_videos3_01.mp4 some_video_from_videos3_02.mp4 some_video_from_videos3_03.mp4

There apears to be 2 things wrong with the way this is working. Obviously, I have 2 copies of each directory in my playlist now. But also, each directory isn't expanded, only the last one in the command line. If I double click one of the folders, they become expanded.

Basically, is there something I'm not doing right? Or should I file a bug report on this issue? I'm trying to get a command that will recursively load all the directories I input, once, and expand them all so every file has an equal opportunity to play.

I've tried the latest stable release (1.1.9) (as well as past versions probably dating back before 1.0) as well as the newest nightly (5/31/2011).

Currently I'm using the 64-bit OSX version running on 10.6.7.

UPDATE: I should add, if I try the above command with only 1 directory, it loads, expands, and does not double in the playlist.
