Two File Video Playlist Doesn't Reset On Stop And Exit

[max53000]

I am a newby and this is my first post to this forum. I did search for about twenty minutes on the VLC website and this forum and could not find a post about this simple problem.

I have Windows 7 x64 and v1.05 of VLC media player installed. I can't get the VLC .xspf playlist file to reset the player properly so two sequential video files play in the proper order. I also have Windows XP 32 bit and v1.05 of VLC media player installed on another computer. While I am waiting for a reply, I will investigate whether the same problem is observed on it.

After creating a VLC playlist referencing two .flv video files which I want to play sequentially without a break, I need to be able to reset the playlist to always start on the first file, regardless of which file the player is on when it is stopped and exited. If the player is stopped and exited during playback of the second file, then when I double click on the playlist file to reload VLC and play both video files again, the second file always starts and not the first.

I created the playlist by either adding the files to or dragging and dropping them onto the \View\Playlist window one at a time, and then saving the result using File\Save Playlist To File. Either way I created the playlist, the same playlist file was created and the same problem was observed. I placed the saved .xspf VLC playlist file in the same folder which contained the two .flv video files after first adding that folder to the VLC Media List.

Because the text of the VLC playlist file is relatively brief, I am copying and pasting it between the two horizontal lines below my signature.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this thread.

Can you try VLC 1.1.0-pre3?

[max53000]

Thanks. I found it, am downloading it, and will report how it works.

Thanks so much. VLC v1.1.0 pre3 worked like a charm. No matter what the player was doing when it was exited, it always played the first file when the playlist was double-clicked.
