unable to run multiple instances #39

Open xinggue opened 1 year ago

xinggue commented 1 year ago

Hi there, thanks for making this wonderful addon! Just a tiny problem: I have unticked the"Allow only one instance" and "use only one instance when started from file manager" checkboxes, but all videos opened via open-in-vlc from my Chrome still seem to share only one instance. New videos just keep covering the previous one. When i open local video files, they can display in separate instances. If I keep these instances on and open a video via open-in-vlc, it will also display in a new instance without disturbing the local videos. But if I open a second video via open-in-vlc, it will then replace the previous one, and still, local ones are not disturbed. In the playlist view, new videos can be seen after previous ones. Hope this is just some setting issue! Really need multiple instance anywhere!! Thanks a lot again!!!!!!!!!!

tried adding into custom arguments "--sout-keep --no-one-instance --no-one-instance-when-started-from-file", also didn't work.

@xinggue Hey, do you use vlc on Windows, Mac or Linux? My issue is the opposite of yours.

I'm want only one process vlc run on VLC and add others to playlists, but... it's always on new instance on my Ubuntu box when I click to the extension.

Have you tried to configure something in vlc itself or this extension?
