The Problem

While you are playing any song or other media file on VLC and open another such file, then another instance of VLC opens. (You aren't going to hear and understand anything until you are a robot)

What I Want

I what to add a "Add to VLC Playlist" to the right click menu of Nautilus as similar in Windows.

Best Answer

  • Click save. That's it!

From now on when you open files with VLC they will be enqueued in your playlist.
