vlc-auto-dir-enqueue-prev-next
A VLC Lua interface that automatically adds the previous and next track from the same directory to the playlist when a file starts playing.
Overview
AutoDirEnqueue Prev Next is a lightweight Lua interface for VLC media player that enhances playlist management by automatically queuing neighboring files. It eliminates the need for manual playlist building when playing files from a folder, creating a seamless listening or viewing experience.
Key Features
- Automatic Neighbor Addition — Adds the alphanumerically previous and next file from the same directory as soon as playback starts.
- Wrap‑Around Support — With three or more files, the playlist cycles from the last file back to the first and vice versa.
- Cross‑Platform Compatibility — Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS with VLC 3.0.x.
- Background Operation — Runs as a startup interface without requiring GUI interaction.
Philosophy
The project focuses on minimalism and automation, providing a hands‑off solution for continuous playback within a directory while maintaining VLC's native behavior and performance.
