How to save & keep my media library?

Postby ineuw » 13 Apr 2012 11:03

Each time I start VLC my previously selected media library entries disappear. Currently, I am using v2-0.1 TwoFlower, but loosing my selected folder has always been a problem in all previous versions. What am I doing wrong?

Win XP SP3
64bit VLC in Win 10 Pro, and Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.0.

Media Library should be saved to ml.xspf which can be found from %appdata%\vlc and if the file is write protected, then VLC cannot overwrite it.

Thanks for the reply. I found my folder listed in the Playlist, although I added it to the Media library. Now I am curious as to what process moved it to the Playlist. This is a folder named "Radio" on my computer, and contains six .pls files for internet radio stations. Was I doing something incorrectly?

You can move items from Media Library to playlist by right clicking the item and selecting Add to playlist
