I've built some playlists containing video and audio. Generally, it's working great, as everything else with VLC, but there is some problem with fullscreen mode:
Say my playlist looks like the following:
- Video
- Audio
- Video
Expected behaviour:
As far as I can see, the most appropriate behavior would be for VLC to have a black screen during the audio playback, and then continue to play the next video (3rd item) in fullscreen. This way, VLC would continue to respect my preferences.
Actual behaviour:
When VLC switches to the audio (2nd item), it suddenly leaves fullscreen. Even worse, when the next video (3rd item) is to be played, VLC is not going back to fullscreen. So VLC "overrides" my expressed preference without any input from me.
Is there any specific reason why the current behavior is the way it is? Is this undefined behavior? (Any chance we could change it?) Or is it a bug? (I'll be happy to help fix it!)
By the way, the same thing happens (of course) with XSPF support when you have videos only but some entries have the "vlc:option" set to "no-video".
I'm using VLC media player 2.2.2 on Windows 7 Professional. Unfortunately, I cannot test this with other operating systems so I don't know if it's a general issue.
Thanks for your help!
