vlc-credit-skipper's Issues

how could this be used in convert mode

and in particular how to use this in batch conversions?

"Start Playlist" deletes Playlist or reduces it to 1 file

I tried a list of files (added via Drag & Drop or Windows Explorer context menu) as well as an .xspf-file in the playlist. Either all items are removed after pressing "Start Playlist" or only one file remains. I could not figure out under which circumstances which result occurs.

URL Playlist

Hi, when adding a url playlist created manually or with an m3u file

when using your script the playlist completely delete

Only the first episode remains in the playlist

After some test, I noticed that if VLC did not read the url for the first time and load the information of the video then it is deleted when applying your script

To resolve,
So I have to click on each episode that is in the playlist for VLC to load the information

Then apply your script and it work fine

Cold open

Most shows have a cold open, theres no way anyone could use this if we can't specify the start and end point within each file.

Cinfiguration window is not "Always on top"

Playlist window and video window may be always on top, but the Credit Skipper configuration windows is not. This may cause the window to be inaccessible hidden behind the other windows
