Auto start not working for media in OpenLP 3.1.3.5000

ChasDDavis

I’m a new user. I installed OpenLP 3.1.3.5000 a few days ago.

I’m running Windows 10 (current maintenance), an Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics adapter (current driver maintenance), AMD threadripper CPU, all SSD drives. I have 4 displays: 2 Viewsonic VP2770, 1 ViewSonic VG1655, and a Sharp Aquos TV.

I’ve not been able to get “Auto Start – active” or Live Media = “Start Live items automatically” to cause an .mp4 video file to start automatically when I click ‘Go Live’ on that item from the Service Manager. I have confirmed those values are set in the OpenLP Configuration for Media and for the media items in the Service manager.

To get the video to play, I have to go to the Live window (after the media has been added to Live) and also click on the play icon, then it plays.

Videos won’t seem to play automatically when they ‘Go Live’. Am I missing some setting, or maybe there are conflicting settings I might have set?

The release notes for 3.1.3 say Bug Fixes: “Correct media auto start behaviour.” So this presumably ought to work.

Can anyone confirm this is or is not working on Windows 10?

Can anyone confirm on what release this last worked correctly?

I should add that I'm using the VLC player 3.0.21 Vetinari that is included in OpenLP 3.1.3.5000

I'm also passing parameters to VLC, to wit:
Configure OpenLP->Media->VLC arguments --sub-language=Eng,English --no-dvdsub-transparency

But whether these arguments are set or left blank does not seem to affect the failure of "auto start"
