Start Next loop from beginning

Postby John Sam » 04 Feb 2022 08:03

I would like to start a movie at certain time and then loop. but when Looping I would like to start from the beginning of the movie.

If I use --start-time=120 it will also start at 120 with every next loop.

Can you add an option that can start movie with an offset for only the first time and ignore this offset after it completes and start a new loop

May somwething like --star-time-once=30 -- loop
Or
--loop-from-beginnig
Or
--play-offset=30 -- loop

I found this option which is working great.

create a file called play.m3u

#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=10
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=122
/file/path/video/1.avi
#EXTVLCOPT:start-time=80
#EXTVLCOPT:stop-time=90
/file/path/video/2.avi

and then run it.
/usr/bin/vlc play.m3u
