Hi Diplo,
I fixed the behaviour when there is only one playlist-item. But in this case it's important, that the extension-dialog itself is closed before closing VLC, because of the asynchronous deletion.
Still, I could not reproduce the crashing on close while playing you describe. I'll look into it.

Thank you for testing! I'm sorry, it works on my Win8.1-VM with a random playlist of MP3 and VLC with my home-folder.
What is your VLC-version? I'm developing on 2.2.2 (linux) and 2.2.4 (windows).
I assume the lua-script and the exe-file are in your %APPDATA%-folder-structure, correct?
Are your files outside of your home-folder, maybe on a differnt harddisk? Are the errors or warnings in the "Messages"-View, when deleting?
Mh, another Win7-specific-option could be to rely on the "Subsystem for UNIX-based applications (SUA / Interix)" (see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2391&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=True)
That would be a harsh requirement for a VLC-extension and it's not supported anymore for Win8 and above. So a predictable dead end. And AFAIK I can't detect the Windows-version on Lua-level... |

Hi DIPLOTEK,
do you like to try again with the current version 0.93?
Thanks! |

Hi SeraphMX,
mind if you try again with the current version?
Thanks! |

Hi,
as stated above, the script does not work on Windows at the moment. I'm experimenting with alternatives to the Lua "os-remove"-function, which is the culprit here.
Funny as it get's I managed to call random exe-files from VLC-Lua on Windows (like "calc.exe"), but delete commands are ignored...
I think I'll try to compile my own "delete.exe" for windows, which I'll call from the script. Maybe that works.
I'm happy for any other ideas. The lua-script to download here is open-source. :) |

Hi Diplotek,
thanks for your testing on Windows! I'm running a linux-machine myself and therefore I missed two imported points.
First, the file-path was not created in valid way. That is fixed now.
But the second issue is, the Lua-scripting-API of VLC I use, does only support POSIX-file-systems for removing files. That means practically, no windows out of the box.
Maybe it works, if I let execute a "del"-command on Windows instead. I try that in the current version, but it did not succeed on my Win8.1-VM. But maybe you have more luck on Windows 7? That would be a step in the right direction.
