How do I add files to a VLC playlist from the command line on OS X?
Solution 1:
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
Solution 2:
I have tried all keys from "a to z" and "A to Z", and I found that if you press B (capital b) you will find a "file browser", so you can add files from there.
That worked for me.
