Playlists and playback

Mixed media
Uses the native VLC playlist order and supports audio and video. Click or drag the progress bar to seek.
Search and navigation
Search by filename or # and a track number; press Enter to play the first match.
List management
Drop files, drag to reorder, remove multiple selections, and undo. Switching VLC sources preserves selection and scroll position.
File details
Aligned track numbers and file sizes. Hover over a size to see its folder on one line, or open the folder and select the file from the context menu. Missing files are flagged on load or refresh.
Per-source playback
Each VLC source keeps its own stop-after-track, next-track, or repeat-one setting. Stop-after-track is the default.
Scene linking
Double-click or press Enter to play and switch to the uniquely matched scene. In Studio Mode, the preview scene changes.
Playlist saving
Custom ordering is saved with OBS. Restore the full native VLC playlist and its original settings from the context menu.
Compact layout
Search moves to a new row in narrow docks, and icons follow the OBS theme. Playback controls stay together at the bottom to leave more room for the playlist.
