VLC with repeat ON & convert task = stuck in loop

Postby iristar » 21 Jan 2024 23:53

I have my Repeat on ON by default.

However, sometimes I might want to use VLC to convert a video to other format (or just convert it to audio, OGG, MP3, etc).

If I do not turn the repeat to OFF, VLC will convert the media and try to do that again and ask me (via a modal) whether I want to Overwrite or keep the existing file.
Given the file may be short, this results in an endless loop of modal and the only way to close VLC is via task master.

Expected result:
1) If Repeat is ON, converting task is an exception and will be skipped on 2nd and higher loop.
2) Second modal (or higher) will have option to pause the "queue"/stop playing

Well, a loop is a loop. Don't use it when converting.
