Video player I can't seem to find the perfect player. All I wanna do is view - no editing, so nothing fancy is needed. What I do want is the ability to play multiple formats without converting and have multiple playlists. And of course, good quality. I have a Mac but I don't think that limits me. So far, I've tried the following... VLC - it would be perfect but multiple playlists not supported DivX Player - although they claim otherwise, I haven't been able to get it play MOV files iTunes - if all I had was iTunes compatible files, iTunes would be tops on my list if only for the great quality MPlayer - doesn't support multiple playlists Real Player - doesn't seem to accept multiple playlists These are all free, though I think I have a trial version of Real Player and it costs $50, but I'm willing to pay for something that has everything I want. I've asked this question on several video and apple sites and came up with zilch. I'm beginning to think what I want doesn't exist. The story of my life. | |

I'm not sure what you mean by multiple playlists. I use VLC for all my video and have plenty of playlists saved. I also know they can be "stacked up" or, in other words, played sequentially. Creating and saving them isn't as simple as in other players (like Winamp), but it can be done. Is this what you're talking about? If so, I can try to walk you through the steps to making it happen.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I'm fairly certain that VLC does not support multiple playlists - a limitation of the code. To make sure we're on the same page, a playlist is a customized selection of songs/videos. iTunes also comes with pre-defined playlists, such as 90s music, top-rated music, recently added music, etc. I'm looking to have separate playlists for videos by their niche, i.e., hardcore, amateur, fetish, softcore, etc. To the best of my knowledge, VLC puts everything in 1 playlist. If I'm mistaken, great because I really like VLC. Just show me the way.  | |

I am not a video guy, but I find Zoom player supports quite a few different formats, even at the free level. Cap'n.

Creating playlists isn't as easy in VLC as other players I've used, like Winamp, but it can be done. Open VLC and click on 'View' at the top. Check the box for Docked Playlist. The easy way is to drag and drop the files you want to include in your playlist but you can browse to them using the dropdown menus. Once you have all the files you want, click on 'Media' then 'Save Playlist to File'. The default file type is XSPF which I guess you can use, but I change it to M3U in the dropdown menu at the bottom. (I use M3U only because I use a custom icon for that file type) Name the file and save it. You're done. The one thing I don't understand with VLC is that you don't have the dropdown options unless you use a docked playlist, but it is what it is. To play the file, you can drag and drop it into VLC but you might want to associate it with VLC. Do that by right clicking on the file and choose VLC. If VLC isn't an available option, you'll have to browse to vlc.exe in your Program Files folder. After all that, you'll be able to play 'em. Hope that does it for you. If not, let me know and I'll try to figure another way to explain it. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

Therein may lie the problem. I have no such option "Docked Playlist" under View or anywhere else. I searched help and no results when I typed in "docked." Perhaps we're using different versions or maybe even different programs. I am using it on a Mac and it is VLC Media Player Version 2.1.2 Rincewind (Intel 64bit). Is that what you are using? | |

Mac. That's the problem. Totally off the radar for me. Have you tried the VLC forum? Edit: Looked here http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch03.html In about the middle, it goes into playlists and Macs Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. Edited on Jan 04, 2014, 03:35pm | |

Thanks for the link. I find the videolan tutorial and the program a bit confusing, particularly regarding playlists. It does make reference to multiple playlists but there's no explanation (that I can see) how to do it. I'm looking under the section, "Using Playlists." I did ask a few days ago on a popular Mac forum (macrumors) and was told that this was a problem inherent in VLC and multiple playlists are not possible. | |

I'm still curious what you mean by multiple playlists. Do you mean playlists that are saved somewhere on your hard drives? Maybe this link? https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Playlist/ Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. Edited on Jan 04, 2014, 05:33pm | |

Yes, they are M3U files as you mentioned earlier. The documentation clearly states you can have multiple playlists, but I have not been able to accomplish this. I guess you're not familiar with iTunes (playlists are in 3MU format with iTunes also). I've created several playlists, but nowhere does it give me an option to retrieve a specific playlist. Common sense dictates that it would be under the Playlists heading on the left, but it isn't. And I see no way to open a specific playlist. I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong or it just doesn't work for Macs. I have to think the latter. While I'm no rocket scientist with computers, I've been using music players for many years which are essentially the same as video players, windows and mac, and know my way around. And as I mentioned, someone stated in a Mac forum that multiple playlists were not possible with VLC. Perhaps the Windows version is different. I give up; I've spent too much time on this. Many thanks for your help. | |

I use PotPlayer, it's free and supports lots of codecs. It has a playlist option by default and has tons of settings you can tweak. | |
