I would like to be able to loop a segment of a video from the command line; I'm trying to learn some music and having it loop incessantly for hours is the way to go. I need to be able to control the start and the end precisely (i.e. 50ms or so), because when looped I would like the music to keep time. The best I have come up with so far is this:
Code: Select all
vlc --start-time=85.390 \
--stop-time=103.547 \
--repeat \
blah.mp3
This allows me to control the start/stop time accurately, but fails of its purpose because `--repeat` is not the same as the A->B looper as far as I can tell. I think VLC is reloading the entire video, rather than just jumping within the video. The repeat point is very choppy, unlike the A->B looper where it just jumps and restarts playing nicely.
So, two questions:
1) Is there a way to start the A-B looper for a specific segment from and command line
2) How to work this out? If I know how to do something on the command line, is there a more general way of find out the equivalent command line option?
