This was driving me crazy because I managed to add a playlist accidentally to the vlc media library but still didn't know how I had done it. Furthermore, I read some posts that said this could no longer be done but since I had done it accidentally I knew this couldn't be right. Finally I decided to try drag and drop which I would have tried sooner had I not read that it doesn't work. For anybody who might want to do this, here's what I did:
(1) I opened a folder in vlc using open file in vlc and navigating to the folder. 2. I saved the folder as a playlist with cmd-s. 3. I switched in the table (sort of like a sources table) to media library and then navigated to the table that showed what was in the library. 4. I went to finder and opened the folder where the playlist was and did vo-comma to mark it for drag-and-drop. 5. I turned cursor tracking off (may not be necessary but seems to work more reliably for me). 6. I used the window chooser to get back to vlc and I was still in the library media table there. 7. I did vo-period to drag the playlist (I tried vo-lessthan and vo-greaterthan but they didn't work). 8. I turned cursor tracking back on so I wouldn't start trying to do things with cursor tracking off and end up thinking something was terribly wrong. I've done two playlists this way and I imagine there's no reason why I couldn't drag individual files or folders instead of making playlists. Now that I know how to do it, I can play with it.
