is it possible to use --start-time only once and next loop start from beginning of the movie

Hi,

I have a question. 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 the next loop.

is there 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

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
