Staying in Fullscreen after video finishes

[dfdfdf]

Hello. When I'm watching a movie, and the movie ends, I would love to be able to have checked some box to keep the player staying in Fullscreen and showing me a black screen after the movie ends (as opposed to VLC 'snapping back' to a little window and then showing me also my desktop and the Windows taskbar, start button and icons and all sorts of stuff that totally breaks the mood, kind of, stuff I do not want to have glaring at me after having watched a movie). If this feature of allowing Fullscreen after playback ends could be added to VLC, that would be great.

If the feature is already part of the player, I would greatly appreciate a tip as to where the check box (or similar) is located in the settings.

Thanks so much in advance for any tips or replies!
(This is a temporary e-mail account I used to register with so I'm not expecting to use my membership here after 10 minutes, really. Nor do I want to. I'm simply using VLC to watch movies and videos, and frankly don't really wish to be part of a forum community just because I use VLC, and for that matter have used the player for about ten years I guess. That might be another feature request: Please consider allowing guest postings in this forum.)

Thanks again in advance for any and all replies. And thanks for the great video player VLC.

Is there a way to set this in the preferences file instead of having to always use a command-line argument?

A good CAPTCHA would let you have the best of both worlds.

It must only be available in 2.x+ because 1.1.11 doesn’t have it.

It has been there since years.

Nope, it’s not there:



It is in the full interface however (though you need to view the tooltip to figure out what it actually does since the label is not descriptive):
