Getting VLC to load my default playlist
February 23, 2007
I was very annoyed by the fact that VLC did not keep the playlist when restarted and I was always forced to load the playlist myself. In my case the playlist is in a url (it is supplied by my broadband and TV provider) but it could also be a file.
It turns out that the solution is very simple:
- Open VLC
- Go to Settings/Preferences.
- Select Playlist
- Enter your default playlist in the Default stream field.
Basically you can build your playlist, save it (open the playlist with CTRL+P and then Manage/Save playlist) and then put the full path to the saved playlist in the Default stream field as explained in the steps above.

Wonderful tip! Along with the setting for “append to playlist” when you have “single window” mode enabled this allows you to build up a persistent playlist. If only there was a way to save it automatically.
