Resolved VLC media player each time opens with the same video title.

Each time that I open a video film saved on a USB stick, VLC opens with the same saved video title. Up till now, I opened the USB stick, chose a title, and this was opened by VLC and played. Can this be reverted back to choosing title prior to play?

 

Hi Bobby, Is everything set OK in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Autoplay settings?

 

Autoplay is set on. VLC as default. VLC is set default in windows 10.

 

Open HD, select a video title and click on it, this automatically opens file by VlC and VLC plays selected file. However as said VLC plays first title automatically as to clicked selected title each time. I presume a box within VLC is ticked to automatically open first item shown on HD.

 

Bobby, are you opening a video installed in your HDD or is it on the USB thumb drive? I'm reading that you have more than 1 (one) video clip/movie on the USB drive.

 

HD external.

 

Has the external drive been Defragged/Optimized ? How old is the external HDD ?

 

Defrag at regular times, two year old from new. Looking at VLC, it appears to open with the last screen title.

 

Are all your videos in the same format? VLC may be opening the last used one because that format is recognized. As Tony suggested re settings - I have not experienced your problem when selecting video on USB thumb drive.

 

I have always used VLC format, ever since it became available. A solution found in my case, is showing promise :: in VLC>tools>Preferences>untick box marked recently played items>click save and close VLC. Could help other VLC users..

 

Setting may have been altered by an update. Hope that fixes your problem.

 

VLC error still persists when he Downloads Shortcut icon is clicked it opens VLC and plays the same video stored in another Hard Drive not committed to VLC working.
