Gapless playback from one continuous file with bookmarks

Postby timo92 » 20 Jun 2015 21:31

I have some very long live sets. I also have a lot of "bookmarks" for them. That is, from 00:00:00 to 00:30:00 is one part, from 00:30:00 to 01:00:00 is another part and so on... I found that using XSPF playlists I can have items which are parts of bigger files. For example

Code: Select all

<track> <title>F2</title> <creator>F2</creator> <location>file:///home/tichomir/liveset.mp3</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>1</vlc:id> <vlc:option>start-time=0</vlc:option> <vlc:option>stop-time=1200</vlc:option> </extension> </track>
Unfortunately VLC doesn't play gaplessly. Since all "tracks" in the playlist are part of a single file, I suppose, the items should only tell VLC to seek to the correct position, not to open that file again and only then seek.

Every track is a new input, sorry.
