VLC start up with playlist

vlc-media-player

What is the command line for vlc to start up playing a specific playlist?
something like this: START /WAIT C:\"Program Files"\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe %1 playlist="c:\users\rendszergazda\desktop\p.xspf" vlc://quit
shutdown -s -t 60

You can simply use the --playlist option.

vlc.exe --playlist C:/PlaylistLocation

Here you start the vlc with the playlist-parameter and you specify, where the playlist is located.

Just came across this old post.

I don't know about Macs but on Windows you can run the following to have a playlist:

vlc.exe file1 file2

(You would typically need quotes on Windows. "file1")

Alternatively, create a .pls file and specify that when starting vlc.

vlc.exe --config vlcrc playlist2.pls

An example playlist file (playlist2.pls):

[playlist]

NumberOfEntries=2

File1=C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Music\f1.mp3
Title1=f1

File2=File1=C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Music\f2.mp3
Title2=f2
