Mac version: add auto-load Playlist at startup

Postby Guntis » 12 Nov 2004 00:15

I use Mac version. Please add auto-load Playlist at startup. Now I have to open playlist every time I open VLC. It would be nice of VLC would "remember" last playlist and the last file it played...

VLC always loads it's playlist. It just doesn't display it by default. Just play a file, you will see it will ALWAYS get added to the playlist.

Last file played is in the File->Open Recent menu

Remembering playlist might be implemented in a future release, we are currently redesigning parts of the playlist.

Sorry, maybe I did not explain clear enough my point - I open VLC, press Play button, and instead of playing file from the previous session, I am greeted with "Open Source" dialog. Or, if I open VLC and press Playlist button, I get empty Playlist. I'd like to see the same Playlist handling as it's done by iTunes or Winamp - when I open Winamp, I can press playlist and it's there with all the songs I added in the previous session. Or I can press Play button and it plays the same song I played in the previous session. VLC could ask to play movie from the beginning or from the point where I stopped last time.
Bt the way, why in my playlist commas are added before the movie titles after playing them? I removed them, saved playlist, played few titles, closed. The next time I opened VLC and the same playlist, commas were back!

I'd love this feature too (i think it's relevent to all platforms), particularly since I don't think "Recent Files" is accessable from the skins2 interface.

I look forward to the playlist redesign :)

Please have a look at ticket #400 for more information on the current status of this topic.
Note that this feature won't be included in the forthcoming 0.8.4 release, but in the one following that version.
