problems with shell extension

[bugmenot]

When I select multiple files and click "Add to VLC media player's Playlist" or "Play with VLC media player", the items are played in a random order rather than the order I have them (alphabetical).

Also if I select multiple files and click "Play" then only one item plays.

Im using VLC 0.9.2 BTW.

[VLC_help]

With first one, really random, or just that last and first ones have switched places?

[bugmenot]

Really random.

[VLC_help]

Does same happen, if you start VLC from commandline and add few filenames to that command line also?

[bugmenot]

Using the command:

Code: Select all

% vlc 1.mpg 2.mpg 3.mpg 4.mpg

VLC played the files in that order (correct).

[VLC_help]

Does it help if you add --no-random to that "Add to VLC media player's Playlist" or "Play with VLC media player" context menu?

[bugmenot]

How do I do that? The shell extension belongs to VLC; I didnt create it.

[VLC_help]

Use registry editor and edit those context menu entries.

[bugmenot]

OK I added that and now the files play in order but I have another problem:

When right-click a file (to use the VLC shell menu), the file positioned right next to it will not get played/added to playlist.

For example, if I select 1.mpg, 2.mpg, 3.mpg, and 4.mpg and I right-click on 1.mpg, then 2.mpg will not be on the playlist. If I instead had right-clicked on 3.mpg, then 4.mpg would not be on the playlist.

[VLC_help]

Sounds weird. Can you see from Tools -> Messages any errors/warnings related to this?

[bugmenot]

No error messages, just the usual:

Code: Select all

main info: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

[bugmenot]

Any progress on this? Should I wait for VLC 0.9.4?

[VLC_help]

If you run one instance mode, those files should open in same VLC and there should be log messages.

[bugmenot]

I just tried VLC 0.9.4 but VLC still doesnt play all the files I select.

Here I selected 4 files to add to the playlist:



Here you can see that 2.mpg did not get added to the playlist, also I included the messages window:



Help please?

Installer issue

[bugmenot]

So it will be fixed in the next version?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

No, it will be fixed when someone looks at it.
