In the right-hand pane, next to 'Use media library', ensure the box is checked. In the left-hand pane find and click the word 'Playlist' to view the Playlist controls. If the left-hand pane is too narrow to view the list, click on the divider between the panes and drag it to adjust the width. Occasionally a subcategory may be the only way to gain access to the options desired. Just know that expanded subcategories give quick access to particular options. For the moment we don't need to click any of them. Most items have triangles(Mac) or '+'(Qt) next to them, which may be clicked to show subcategories. The left pane lists categories of preferences that may be adjusted.
The preferences window will change to show a narrow left-hand pane and a wide right-hand pane. The desired option is an Advanced option: in the Preferences window, in the lower left hand corner find radio buttons labeled 'Basic' and 'All'. To use the media player's 'Media Library' feature, first verify that the function has been enabled in Preferences, then adjust the controller so that the window where the function is displayed automatically opens.įrom the 'VLC' menu select 'Preferences.'.
