So I then have to push play again and it will continue playing the playlist until it decides it's done again. I have never been at the screen when it stops, but when it does stop it's just the way it would stop when it's done playing something if 'shuffle' and 'reapeat' were not on. I figured this was something simple so it's driving me nuts that I haven't figured it out. To overcome them, follow these steps: In VLC, press Ctrl + P to open Preferences ,or navigate to Tools > Preferences from the menu bar. Sometimes they'll stop within an hour (more so the videos), and sometimes they'll play most of the day and be stopped when I come in the next morning. Fix 1: Changing cache values Incorrect cache values can cause stuttering/lagging issues in VLC media player. Both are set to 'random' and 'repeat' but they both will randomly just stop every once in awhile when switching songs/videos.

The other is a windows 7 that has a big music playlist it goes through. The one is a windows 8 in our break-room that I have a playlist of 394 short avi videos that it plays. I have two PC's here at our shop that I play media on (local not streaming) 24/7 via windows media player.

Vlc media player stops and starts
