are:


1. Ability to play, pause, stop go back a track and go forward a

2. The ability to move forward and back in five second increments

Re: VLC media player shortcut keys

Good summary.

I should also add that one of those open commands is possibly one of the most 
powerful commands in VLC as it allows the user to open pretty much anything, an 
audio CD, files on a computer, on a network drive or even an Internet Radio 
stream.

Re: VLC media player shortcut keys

2015-12-25 Thread Dane Trethowan
A couple of other things Windows muses might like to bare in mind with VLC 
which make life one hell of a lot easier when you’re dealing with a whole heap 
of files.

Have a folder of a few hundred files you want to add to a playlist? go into 
File Explorer, select the files you want and then select “Add To VLC Playlist” 
from the context menu.

VLC will start playing the selected files after a few moments.

From here you can obviously “Save As Playlist” if you like so the playlist will 
be available for you next time you wish to hear it.
