[vlc-devel] [PATCH] play-and-exit feature for playlists

[Georgi Chorbadzhiyski]

Hello vlc-devel,
the following patch adds --play-and-exit parameter for playlists. When this parameter
is set and there are no more items in the playlist VLC exists instead of just reporting
"nothing to play".

I think this feature is useful, please apply.
