Desktop Playback Tip

Avoid Playlist Loop Issues in VLC

In VLC, if a stream momentarily drops, VLC may jump to the next channel in your playlist. To prevent this, click the Loop button at the bottom of the VLC window until it displays a single loop (or loop disabled), preventing unintentional channel skips.
