About an issue with picture files on script about utils HOT 10 CLOSED

Problem solved in f0191e4.

The pattern for extension list was incorrect: it would add files like

HE1LFxbxSyGBgbQItgd1d71clB4Gs5ICD8mP3BF3.jpeg

This_is_not_a_.avi_file.jpeg

I have strengthened the pattern so now it should only detect extension at the end of the filename.

Are you on Windows or Linux ?

Can you give me an example of a folder to reproduce the problem ?

Normally the script scan only files with given extension: see
https://github.com/x-hgg-x/Utils/blob/master/VLC%20Create%20playlist%20from%20file/vlc.ps1#L7
or
https://github.com/x-hgg-x/Utils/blob/master/VLC%20Create%20playlist%20from%20file/vlc.sh#L4.

It shouldn't add jpg files the the playlist.

Hello. I have looked back again and extensions variable is the same as default or yours link.
I'm using Windows 10 64 bits.

And for some unknown reason those pictures had 00:10 playing time on playlist even though they're just normal pictures without any animation.

Just added a picture to show playlist with those jpeg and jpg pictures added automatically.

I have updated the script in a new commit on master, and add a new branch 'test' for debugging output.

Can you take this script:
https://github.com/x-hgg-x/Utils/blob/test/VLC%20Create%20playlist%20from%20file/vlc.ps1
and launch from a terminal with the file you want to open as an argument ?

It should print a list of detected files in the folder before filtering for extension name, and any potential error from the script.

Can you show me the resulting output ?

You have an error: it seems the script cannot file the path to VLC.

The script search VLC in the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
(see https://github.com/x-hgg-x/Utils/blob/test/VLC%20Create%20playlist%20from%20file/vlc.ps1#L6).

If you installed VLC to another location, you must change the line and put the correct path to VLC.

Just fixed it but does the same behavior with those 2 JPEG and JPG on playlist, excepting I get no more those red messages on cmd. Shows the same file names on cmd too.

Can you show the output for the new script:
https://github.com/x-hgg-x/Utils/blob/test/VLC%20Create%20playlist%20from%20file/vlc.ps1

It is better if you copy and paste the output instead of doing a screenshot.

Have you run the last script ?

Normally the script prints these lines:

Files without filtering
Files with filtering
Extensions list

I'm sorry for my last wrong response my friend. Does this work as requested ?
