Looking forward to VLC 4. It (the beta) can handle playlists that are like 2000-4000 entries long in a second vs VLC3 which has a parser that is slow like molasses.
it's been 2-3 years and my usecase has changed, but it would be great to see this backported to vlc3.
Nah, not anime. It's not playlists of a single thing is all I'll really say about it.
