Description:

Playlist Cleaner is a LUA extension for VLC which checks the active playlist for files that are duplicates, deleted, or otherwise moved; and if so, removes them from the playlist. This prevents you from seeing "VLC file not found" errors. I could not find any addons along these lines for VLC, so I decided to make one myself. This is my first routine in LUA so advice or suggestions for improvement would be appreciated.

I cant get the plugin to show up in the View menu on Arch Linux?

Does the plugin support Linux?
If not will it ever?

I've downloaded it. I try to double click... no way to open it, says computer. Doesn't recognize this type of file. How do I import it to VLC? My playlist is multiplying entries at an alarming rate!

You would want to drop the file in your VLC folder, in the subfolder \lua\extensions

Playlist Cleaner will show up the next time you open "VLC" under the View menu, click on "Cleans orphaned and duplicate tracks from the playlist."

I'm without a laptop right now, but I'm really sorry that's happening for you. I will try to take a look at it when my situation gets sorted out in the next week or so.

Still crashing. Would be a very useful addon for me if it worked.
