Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this feature already exist? it's called "playlists". you take all the videos in a folder, you put them into a playlist, problem solved. What am I missing?

What people seem to be asking for is an option in the settings that can be enabled to autoplay the next file in the same folder, without selecting the entire folder or dragging and dropping multiple files into VLC. GOM Player has this feature, "Add all videos in the directory to a playlist".

VLC has had a feature to add all of a directory to the playlist for many years. People are asking for magic code to check if there is a file in the same directory as the current file that would be the next episode.
