Can we pass a folder as the argument somehow and all files are loaded into the playlist from that folder?
I’ve tried numerous methods, none seem to work, it will only load the first file in most cases, or keep opening file after file in the source window. Any suggestions?
I added this for next release v18.10. It will also work via drop from a file manager. Also, the command line executable will accept multiple filesystem arguments any of which can be folders, which will be expanded. It only expands a folder one level - not recursively deep.
That is working, but it is… clunky because of the requirement to use X and xvdb(a virtual x window) some more… official(possibly with folder monitoring built in if I’m dreaming) would be nice
This will most likely always be a requirement: at least Qt and OpenGL require it, possibly more. Do not use those MLT modules and likely you can render headless using melt instead of qmelt. Opening a folder of files from the command line has nothing to do with headless rendering.
