Ok, so that opens up VLC, but it cues up the highlighted folder in my folder tree and then VLC wont play it, it just sits there. I checked the playlist and it just lists the folder, but oddly enough there is an extra " at the end of the folder name and I think that may be screwing it up... What do I need to alter in the code to get rid of that? I included a screenshot of the player and playlist that opens upon pressing the button below.
no, that opens VLC, and it has a file named "testfolder" in the playlist that it repeatedly tries to play over and over without success
I am inside of the folder i want to play the files within, and no files are selected
With your first vlc code, if i highlight a file, that one comes up in the playlist and works fine, but if I don't have anything highlighted, i get the folder trying to play with a " at the end of it. Keeps trying to play it over and over again.
I feel so stupid, but there is no trailing backslash on any of you code that I can see, is there? Not in your first or second batch of code... and I am going to replace
noterm Strips the trailing path separator from the returned path. For example, {sourcepath|noterm} might return C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus.
Thank you so much for working through that with me. Sorry I haven't responded earlier, I had a death in the family and have been up to me neck with all kinds of terrible nonsense. The third option above successfully works for me just as I requested, however, the second option throws a
" Error at line 1, position 58
Unknown value (6): noterm"
In the log file.
Just for anyone's future knowledge. Again, thank you so much!
