[SOLVED]cannot loop files in vlc 0.8.1 + fc4

[dogood]

hello

I'm running vlc on our fedora core 4 server. I use vlm to broadcast files.. everything goes fine, but i cannot make vlm to loop the files. here is my cfg file:

new TESTSTREAM broadcast enabled loop
setup TESTSTREAM input 08mpeg1.avi
setup TESTSTREAM output #standard{access=mmsh,url=:8080}
control TESTSTREAM play

here isthe message given by vlc when it stops streaming:

I remember some bug with the loop function in VLM a long time ago. 0.8.1 was a long time ago That might be related (not sure).

hi

I solved the problem, thanks to trax on the irc vlc channel!
I don't use the loop option in my cfg file for vlm. you just have to pass --input-repeat option like this:

Code: Select all

setup your_stream option input-repeat=-1

when it recieves the "play" control command, it loops indefinitely

cool!
