  • What output do you get if you run the VLC commands manually? Rather than running the VLC commands from python just print them and run them one by one yourself.

  • the first command starts the vlc player, second one adds the track to the playlist. But that's okay, the issue is when I run the loop, instead of adding all the tracks in one go. It adds ONLY one track and then waits for me to close the vlc window. It blocks the CLI...

  • So run the loop manually, see if it throws up the same errors. If it is a problem in your program generating the code for the loop then it would be off topic here and I am trying to encourage you to find out if the problem is with VLC or with your code. If you can reproduce the problem on the command line away from Python then it is on topic here. As an absolute minimum having command line output or errors, if any, might be useful.

  • the problem when I load it manually is that it does not start playing. so i need the tracks to be loaded at the same time the vlc window is opened
