Autoloop = True does not work yet? since version 1.0.0

[patrYce]

I despair (love VLC) because I like my software to integrate the latest versions of VLC but it is not feasible, I must use the Active X from 13/11/2009 axvlc.dll provided with VLC version 0.9.9 otherwise in the bone Autoloop! it's too stupid ... when will you turn this function correctly? I tried all versions since 1.0.0 and in every way: Revolunet, JavaScript and my videos do not turn in a loop no matter what.

Someone has already tried ? Please have you a solution to my problem?

I offer the choice of the player and thus integrate WMP (grrr) that loop smoothly.

Thank you for your interest

Is this a web player?


I've never gotten autoloop to work, but for my web toolbar using javascript and the playlist functions, I could loop videos.

I've never gotten to work Autoloop,

me yes...

I could loop videos

it's great !!!, so could tell me more, how your code works? what browser? precisely what version of vlc?
Thank you Ilasir

I used javascript to manually loop through a playlist. I built the code with 1.0.5, but it should work with at least anything in 1.0.x and later. It probably works with a few earlier ones. It works in all the browsers I tested it in, but I've only tested it on windows vista.


It's kind of hard to cut it out of the entire code, but basically:

"var currenttrack;

if (vlc.input.state == 6)
{currenttrack ++;
vlc.playlist.playItem(currenttrack);}"

If you want to let users change tracks manually, it's more complicated.


If you go here, you can download the sourcecode from my toolbar.

thank you very much Ilasir,

I want the simplest way to read a (single) video loop automatically ...

sous ie 8/vista/axvlc.dll 1.1.3:

sous ie 8/xphome/axvlc.dll 1.1.3:

sous ie 8/xppro/axvlc.dll 1.1.3:

sous ie 8/Seven/axvlc.dll 1.1.3:

test.avi (time 13 s)

<html>
<head>
</head>

<body>
<div id="screen">
<object type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org"

<param name="autoplay" value="true" />

</object>
</div>

Play video is okay but Loop don't work...

with test.flv, loop don't work

sous ie 8/Seven/axvlc.dll 0.9.9:

Loop work...

with versus <= axvlc 0.9.9 (same code as above):

Loop work.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with versus > axvlc 0.9.9 (same code as above):

Loop don't work.

with such revolunet...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other code but chrome, ie7, ie6, firefox, mozilla : Loop don't work with versus > axvlc.dll 0.9.9

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In it you like??? or I'm an idiot ?

Did you see the javascript I posted? I've never gotten any version of vlc higher than the one you're talking about to use autoloop, so I coded a loop manually in javascript.

If all you want is to automatically loop through a playlist, just load them into the play list object, and add this code snippet:

"var currenttrack;
var s;

function loop()
{
if (vlc.input.state == 6)
{
if (currenttrack <= vlc.playlist.items.count)
{
currenttrack ++;
}
else
{
currenttrack = 0;
}
vlc.playlist.playItem(currenttrack);
s=setTimeout("loop", 1)
}
}"


That should do it. I can't test it right now, so if it doesn't, get back to me.

Hello everyone and Ilasir,

I'm back on this issue because I want to integrate the latest version of VLC 1.1.11 and unfortunately the "Autoloop = true" does not work ...

here is my code with your valuable advice :

Code: Select all

<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> </head> <body onload="play('vlc1')" bottommargin="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <script language="javascript"> function play(tgt) { var uri = 'file:///C:/Program Files/videos/test.avi'; if (document.all) tgt += "_IE"; var tgt = document.getElementById(tgt); if (document.all) tgt.playlist.add(uri, uri, ":loop :aspect-ratio=4:3 :no-video-title-show :audio "); else tgt.playlist.add(uri, uri, ":loop :aspect-ratio=4:3 :audio"); tgt.playlist.play(); } var currenttrack = 0; var s; function Loopvideo() { alert("Hello"); tgt = document.getElementById(tgt); if (tgt.input.state == 5) { if (currenttrack <= tgt.playlist.itemCount) { currenttrack++; } else { currenttrack = 0; } tgt.playlist.playItem(currenttrack); } s = setTimeout("Loopvideo()", 1000); } Loopvideo(); </script> <object id="vlc1_IE" codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/latest/win32/axvlc.cab" classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" height="384" width="512"> <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" id="vlc1" name="vlcname" height="384" width="512"><param name="ShowDisplay" value="True"><param name="AutoLoop" value="True"><param name="AutoPlay" value="True"></object> </body> </html>

The alert box does not launch once, I do not understand why?
otherwise the video reads, but stops at the end and do not always buckle, grrr

thank you again for your help !

ps: if I delete in the fonction loopvideo :

Code: Select all

tgt = document.getElementById(tgt); if (tgt.input.state == 5) { if (currenttrack <= tgt.playlist.itemCount) { currenttrack++; } else { currenttrack = 0; } tgt.playlist.playItem(currenttrack); }

The alert box appears every second well and the video reads (but of course it does not loop at the end)

hello everybody, it's good :

HTML for ie 7-8-9 loop or autoloop video with all vlc, that vlc 1.1.11 / vlc 1.2.0-git-20111008-0002 Twoflower (->autoloop et loop dont yet work...) :
in CMD, loop et autoloop I think it works...

it's poor code (if you want the code for firefox, no worries, let me know!)

for testing your code javascript : http://jsfiddle.net/

This page html is built dynamically in my little program ... (c ++)

Now I will offer customers to chain multiple files or videos and audios streams and or and or TNT (DVBT / ATSC, ISDB missing, South America and DMB-T / h for China ... I hope it will come in vlc) together with a time display set for each.

Vlc's playlist (xspf) is nice but you can not say:
displays to stream 2 minutes
then after
displays the video file 5 minutes.

Indeed, I thought the tag "duration" and not used to it ... so nix javascript will do with timing rather simply stupid! : o)
If I need I pass, good weekend!

French :
La page est construit dynamiquement dans mon petit logiciel...(c++), c'est pratique...

Maintenant je vais proposer aux clients d'enchainer plusieurs fichiers videos et ou audios et ou streams et ou chaines tnt (dvbt/atsc, il manque isdb, amérique du sud et dmb-t/h pour la chine...j'espère que cela viendra dans vlc) en même temps avec un délai d'affichage défine pour chacune d'elles.

La playlist de vlc (xspf) est sympa mais on ne peut pas lui dire :
affiche le flux stream 2 minutes
puis après
affiche le fichier video 5 mn (c'est balot).

En effet, je croyais que la balise "duration" servait à cela et non, peau de balle...donc javascript va le faire assez simplement avec un timing tout bête !!!
Si j'ai besoin je repasse, bon weekend à vous !

ARFF I have two questions:
The problem with this method is that javascript is not very clean when the video loop, it jumps and it shows (you see the ugly gray background by default, being a visible moment but ... grrr)

You would know how to have a black background? I tried the object tag bgcolor = # 000000 but this does not change.


ps: I prefer to:

Code: Select all

if (vlc.input.state! = 6 & & vlc.input.state! = 5)

if vlc does not meet vlc error and if not stopped, I do nothing else I rather than recovery ...

Code: Select all

vlc.playlist.isPlaying! = true

Do you think is better?

Je mets aussi en français car mon anglais est très mauvais...

Arff jai deux questions :
Le problème avec cette méthode javascript est que c'est pas très propre, quand la vidéo boucle, elle saute et cela se voit (on voit le vilain fond gris par défaut, un cours instant mais c'est visible...grrr)

Vous sauriez comment avoir un fond noir ?? j'ai bien essayé dans la balise object bgcolor=#000000 mais cela ne change rien.


ps: je préfere mettre :

Code: Select all

if (vlc.input.state != 6 && vlc.input.state != 5)

si vlc ne rencontre pas d'erreur et si vlc n'est pas stoppé, je ne fais rien sinon je relance...plutôt que

Code: Select all

vlc.playlist.isPlaying != true

A votre avis, c'est mieux ?

merci de vos lumières !

CMD loop works

It's true but only vista/seven (work fine)...with XP, html (object) and cmd with VLC 1.1.11 don't work
with vlc 1.0.5 work fine (vista/seven/xp)
