Saving the A-B repeat loop to the playlist

[modaniel]

Hi,
I regularly use the A-B repeat loop feature of VLC. I would like to save it to the playlist so when I open that list, only that specific section of video plays. I see that VLC does not do this by default.
1. Is there a way of enabling this feature?
2. Alternatively, is there an addon that does this?
3. If not, How can i find the correct object in LUA to access the positions that the A-B repeat feature uses?

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

cheers,
Daniel
