HTTP/Lua playback from media library inconsistent
Desired behavior
- play item from media library in main VLC interface
- when given item finishes playing the playback continues with next library item If item is folder, playback starts on first folder item and continues with next items
HTTP behavior
- select item in ml and select playback
- when given item finishes playing the playback stops If item is foldes, playback stops after first item in folder and doesn't continue. Same happens if playback initiated via HTTP GET request (/requests/status.xml?pl_play?id=123) so it's not a bug with HTML/JS code.
However, this only happens when there is no interaction with VLC via main interface. If playback is initiated first from main interface and then from HTTP interface, HTTP behaves as described in desired behavior. If playback is initiated only via HTTP interface, the buggy behavior occurs.
Tested on WinXP 32bit, VLC version 2.1.something and 2.2.1, reproducible every time. If necessary I have also Win7 64bit and Win10 32bit available for testing.
