Currently I managed to get 3 videos playing at the same time when I save the following to a ".bat" file and run it in Windows, but all of them start at 00:00.
START "VLC media player - Instance 1" "C:\Users\MyPC\vid1.mp4" && ^
START "VLC media player - Instance 2" "C:\Users\MyPC\vid2.mp4" && ^
START "VLC media player - Instance 3" "C:\Users\MyPC\vid3.mp4"
Then I tried using the following to open them at different start times:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\
vlc.exe --one-instance --start-time=10 "C:\Users\MyPC\vid1.mp4"
vlc.exe --one-instance --start-time=40 "C:\Users\MyPC\vid2.mp4"
vid1.mp4 does indeed open at 10 seconds into the video, but vid2.mp4 doesn't open until I have closed vid1.mp4
I have also tried something like:
START "VLC media player - Instance 1" "C:\Users\MyPC\vid1.mp4" --start-time=10 &&^
START "VLC media player - Instance 2" "C:\Users\MyPC\vid2.mp4" --start-time=10
But both videos open from time 00:00
I read the forums that ":start-time=10
" might work instead of "--start-time=10
". No luck either.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
