I'm running the newest version of the vlc player. Everything works superbly.

Except the new feature (last version i used was 0.8.6.h) of 'open recent media'

Sometimes, it shows the files i played, other times, it doesn't. How do i just turn it off entirely?

Don't know what platform you're on, but it should be in a similar place to my Mac version I would think.

Prefernces -> Show All -> Interface -> Main interfaces -> (and then the one that is your platform. In my case macosx).

There I have an option for "Keep Recent Items". So I think the option you're looking for should be in the vicinity.

On windows it seems to be quite different. It's main interface-> Qt-> untick "recently played items in the menu."

That seems to remove the open recent media from the "media" menu

thanks.

It is in the simple preferences too!

Unfortunately not the case on the Mac side.
