KB shortcut to jump to next video in folder?

Postby terrypin » 28 Dec 2020 12:03

Is there a shortcut which will stop playing the current video and switch to the next one (if any) in the Windows 10 folder please? And one for the previous file?

I know I could get this by always making a playlist first, but I miss this much-used feature on my other players like MPC-HC, MPC-BEx64, PotPlayer, etc.

After searching and reading quite a bit on this forum and other pages on the internet, I have come to the following conclusion:

No

There will never be such a function.

The developers do not want this function.

Hit Ctrl + P to open prefs and then click the HotKeys button. There are a few more shortcuts in there which might help.

Hitchhiker: I'd looked at that list and have just done so again, but I don't see a hotkey that does what I asked for? Do you?

somad: If true, and I have no reason to doubt you, that's very disappointing. Any reason given why such a desirable feature cannot be implemented?

There's a forum for feature requests to be incorporated in forthcoming versions. You could consider posting it there: https://forum.videolan.org/viewforum.php?f=7

It's just a feeling I got after reading the several year long thread:
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=125327
and the response from Jean-Baptiste Kempf himself.

Also response from developer Rémi Denis-Courmont in this thread:
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=149650


There are also people that want to work on this, but need permission to do so.
