A to B Repeat Feature

[imz]

The implementation of the "A to B repeat" feature and of the feature of "showing bookmarks (say, as subtitles)" I suggested recently could be based on a single generalized mechanism: the bookmarked moment of a video when passed during playback triggers a specified action.

In the case of "showing bookmarks as subtitles", the triggered action is "show the corresponding bookmark name".

In the case of "A to B repeat", the triggered action at bookmark B is "jump to A".

Perhaps, it could be useful something else.

Currently A-B repeat functions in the nightly builds and so far it seems to work pretty well.

Sounds great! It's very helpful for learning languages and for understanding key dialogue in films that is mumbled

So, if the A-B feature is here already, how do I access it? I tried the online docs I could find and browsing the menus but it seems I have not been lucky so far.

Can someone perhaps please give me a pointer?

Many thanks,
David.

Try not to double post .

The AB repeat feature is in the development builds of VLC (0.9.0-git). Download nightly builds from here:

To display the "AB" button go to "Tools >> Advanced controls".

Ah, thanks! I thought that since Dec 07 it might have made its way into the standard 0.8.x releases.

Best wishes,
David.

Oompf... am still a bit disorganized. I wanted to ask: Is there a release date for the first alphas/betas of 0.9.x in sight yet? I'd be happy to be involved in testing but am not sure I'm brave enough for the nightlies.

Best,
David.

I haven't heard anything about possible release date.

I miss this feature in VLC for OS X! Migrated from Windows to OS X a while back, and grew very fond of the A-B repeat function in Zoom Player during my time with Windows.

Is this feature available for version 1.0.1 or it is no longer supported?
I don't find it in the menus

Thread should be locked now since feature was added in 0.9x releases.

I still don't see this functionality in the OSX version, this is F&*Kn BS
