Hello,

There is a setting to enable this, you might have enabled it by mistake, it's in preferences-playlist-general.

You can also reset the preferences by removing ~/.vlc/vlcrc

Sorry, I wan't clear enough, the files play on but the mms stream is interupted after each file witch causes WMP to disconnect.

try using the "--sout-keep" option

I have the same problem. Also with the --sout-keep option, playback stops after the first file.

i have the same problem. I am streaming a playlist with more than one mp3 file and every time the client stops playout after the fist file...

any ideas?

When i play a playlist with more then one entry, the stream "dead" after the first file. I used the --sout-keep option. Is there a way to stream a playlist to WMP without a player reconnection between files?
Sorry for my English.

I can confirm this bug as well. I opened vlc with and without the --sout-keep and the same problem occurred.

My bug:
-I add multiple streaming URLs to a playlist.
(Ex. PBS Frontline1 mms://wm.z1.mii-streaming.net/media/pbs/windows/general/windows/media4/frontline/2513/windows/ch1_xl.wmv?v1st=5FEB369456887324 )
(Ex. PBS Frontline2 mms://wm.z1.mii-streaming.net/media/pbs/windows/general/windows/media4/frontline/2513/windows/ch2_xl.wmv?v1st=5FEB369456887324 )
-When any stream finishes playing, the playlist stops and does not advance. It just sits at the last timestamp.
-I can still click next track to advance the playlist
-When I run vlc -v (-v for verbose), it gives the following line about 3 seconds before the video ends:

Code: Select all

[00000292] access_mms access warning: end of media stream

My question:
-Is vlc somehow unable to shut down the stream, so it remains stuck at the last frame?

Is there a fix released for this problem? Is there a registered bug? I've been searching, but I can't find any other conversation of this happening.

Edit: I'm using Gutsy Gibbon Ubuntu's version of VLC (whatever that is, I'm a novice).
