Trouble Using VLC player from buttonbar

[Geiri]

I frequently open VLC media player from the ButtonBar.
After the first video is opened and closed the processes stack up and I need to shut all from Task Manager

I have no ide if this is VLC problem or TC.
Just thought I would share

Perhaps copy & paste your ButtonBar button here as text.

What are your VLC settings tor: "Playlist and Instances" ?

Depending on how you call VLC, the parameter --play-and-exit could help.

I just call vlc.exe without any parameters and I don't see that problem:

Button code:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
"c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
%P%N
c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
VLC Player

To make the button:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

This my Code

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
"c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"

c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
vlc
c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\

-1

You don't have the %P%N line (the Parameters field). That means that in order to play in VLC you will either have to drag-and-drop the file you want to play to the button or to the open VLC player, or the player plays a saved play list. Not that would explain the left-behind vlc processes.

What if you right-click the file you want to play and choose open with, and then select the VLC media player - does that also result in left-behind vlc processes?
