Playing a folder as a playlist in VLC possible like in Win?

I've been looking for a way to easily watch entire folders of video files in VLC.
Currently... the closest thing is to select a group of video files then right click and play in VLC.
HOWEVER... this puts them all in a playlist but starts the playlist at the bottom file in the list. So if you start a season of a show, it first plays the last episode of the season.
Has anybody found a solution to this?

Thanks for your help - the learner plates will come off soon, always obvious when you know how..

  • I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

    I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!  Help!

    Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

  • How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?

       How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing?  As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.'  So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist.  I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue.  This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
       Thanks.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

  • How can I get itunes on my i pad to play single songs in a playlist without stopping it manually?

    How can I get itunes on my i pad to play single songs in a playlist without stopping it manually?

    To turn on the check marks on, say, 150 consecutive songs in a list, do the following:
    Click on the first song in the list.
    Scroll to the last (150th) song in the list.
    Hold the shift key down while clicking the last song in the list.
    All 150 songs will then be highlighted.  Click the check box in one of the 150 songs and all songs will exhibit the same behavior.

  • When listening to music on ATV, it plays two songs from the playlist, then won't play any more.  You can see playlist and songs, but won't respond.  Any ideas?

    When listening to music on ATV, it will play two songs from the playlist, then no more.  You can see the playlist on songs, but it won't play.  Turned everything off, reset the network...nothing works.  Any ideas?  It used to play fine...for hours at a time.

    Hi.  Thanks for your reply.
    It is happening via "shuffle" in a playlist.  Always two different songs within the playlist.  You can see the next song on the screen that should, theoretically, be playing...but nothing happens.  Even when you push "play" on the remote, it doesn't receive the command. 
    I reset, then restored ATV.  Now, it doesn't limit itself to two songs, but does stop after a few.  The more trial and error I do, the more I believe the problem is with Homesharing in iTunes.  If I turn off Homeshare, then turn it back on, a couple more songs will play in the playlist.  I have shut down iTunes, restarted computer, completed updates, but nothing seems to change it.
    It used to play fine for hours on end, but has now found this glitch.

  • Can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

    can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

    You need to select the playlist on the shuffle, when you play it.  If you do not select a particular playlist, it plays from the All Songs list.  When you set the switch to play in order (not shuffle), the All Songs list plays in alphabetical order.
    To select a playlist, use the VoiceOver feature.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver.

    When you select a playlist on the shuffle, it should play in playlist order (when the switch is set to play in order).

  • How to add all music inside a folder to a playlist...

    Hi,
    I have Nokia e63. There is a simple thing I wanted to ask. I wish to add all songs in a folder to a playlist. How to do that? When I select all songs in a folder inside the Memory Card, there is no option to add music to playlist.
    I basically add music folders from my computer to phone's memory card. Now each of these folder contains music of different types. In windows I can easily music files to playlist by selecting all music files and putting them to a playlist.
    When I refresh the music player in my phone, all sound files get accumulated in the "All songs" group, including recorded conversations and all songs genres, which is very frustrating.
    Is there a way out?

    Hello, I also need the answer of this exact question. I have nokia 5130 Express Music but the answer to the original poster will also apply to me. The link provided in the previous post doesn't answer the question of the original asker. Let me ask it again:
    I want to create playlists out of the folders not by selecting them one by one and adding them to the desired playlist. Please do not suggest OVI Music player because that piece of junk just doesn't detect my phone no matter what mode I connect my phone with. It is detected fine in the PC suite though. Is there any harder way of doing that? By harder way I mean what playlist formats are supported by 5130 ? and is there any third party application that can create a (.pla) extension playlist. I need help. Thanks is advance.

  • Can shuffle songs or random play be used with a playlist?

    After a playlist is on the ipod, can you play the songs in the playlist randomly or in shuffle mode? Haven't been able to find any info on this.

    Well... yes, this works, but for me, it's a bit less than ideal.
    I don't want to have to turn Shuffle on or off then navigate to the desired playlist.
    What I want is a sort of "Smart Shuffle Playlist" that will contain X number of songs that I put into it and will always play those X songs in random order. Other playlists (non-Smart Shuffle Playlists) would not be touched.
    Why? Some playlists would be an exact, fixed sequence of songs that I really prefer to listen to in a particular order. Other playlists would be a bunch of songs that would play in a random order every time.
    The current options are *so close* to this... but just not there.

  • Play more swf-s from playlist

    Hi,
    I have installed the Adobe Flash Player version 9.0.124.0 on
    my PC. It's work under IE, Opera and Firefox, but play only one swf
    file which I selected. I want to play more swf files one after the
    other automatically, like from playlist. What must I do to play
    from playlist or from more selected files automatically (also
    repeat the complete playlist when it's finished the playlist)? Or
    whith which (free) player can I do it?
    Thanks

    Thanks...
    This question has a simple answer. There is a feature of
    Flash that you can export called a projector. A projector is a
    standalone EXE that wraps the Flash Player and the SWF content
    inside of it. You'll see the projector option in CS3's Publish
    Settings.
    So just create projectors and distribute that EXE.
    I should note that projectors created with Flash CS3 will
    contain the Flash Player 9 runtime (inside the EXE). You can also
    create projectors by opening a SWF in the standalone player, then
    choosing File> Create Projector.
    You can get the standalone player for FP10 from
    "Archived Flash Players available for testing purposes"

  • Muvo V100 : how do I play a folder once?

    I've got a Muvo V00?
    I can play a track once, repeat a track, or repeat a folder, but I don't know how to play a folder once. Does anyone know how to do it's Thanks a lot in advance.

    Sure, for example: when I'm going to bed, I like to fall asleep with quiet music in the background (connected mp3 player to small speakerset). One song is too short, but the entire mp3 player would last all night.
    I noticed that other mp3 players I've seen all have this feature.
    Is there any chance your development guys can (and will) make a firmware update?
    I noticed the 'end of service life', yeah But this player isn't even one year and a half old. I surely hope CL still cares about its customers after such a short period?

  • A function to play offline / downloaded songs and playlists from Spotify on Sonos is missing!

    A function to play offline / downloaded songs and playlists from Spotify on Sonos is missing!
    Since my internet connection is a bit shaky at home I need to use my downloaded content and playlists with Spotify! 
    However this functionallity is not available together with Sonos which is a really big problem. 
    I hope you plan to work together with Sonos to introduce this functionallity really soon.
    Also this is already available with Google Play Music together with Sonos and it would really be a shame to leave Spotify just to solve this problem. 
     

    Would be great to have some way of getting offline play lists on Sonos for when my internet connection dies, and also to reduce the amount of data i download repetatitivly... i must have streamed the same songs hundreds and hundreds of times over the last few years playing spotify over sonos, massive waste of bandwidth and download capacity. Maybe we could point spotify to a network drive for spotify on sonos to use for storage of offline playlists.

  • Does any know what is the name of the folder where iTunes saves the iCloud cache like the songs being played, etc.?

    Does any know what is the name of the folder where iTunes saves the iCloud cache like the songs being played, etc.?

    Checked:
    when you add a song to iTunes, that song is copied to the itunes library folder (on your external drive) with all your other songs, so they are all in the same place, on that drive. you can then delete the song you added to itunes from wherever you added it, because it has been copied to the itunes folder.
    Unchecked:
    the song is not copied to the itunes folder on the external drive. this means that once you add it to itunes, you must keep the song wherever you added it from, because itunes only remembers where it is located, and does not keep a copy in the itunes folder. moving this file will make the song unplayable in itunes.

    If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty.  Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
