Hi,

I want to permanently play a video part. For that I have written the following playlist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/" version="1">
	<title>Wiedergabeliste</title>
	<trackList>
		<track>
			<location>file:///D:/VLC/Test.mp4</location>
			<duration>5938980</duration>
			<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
				<vlc:option>playlist-autostart=1</vlc:option>
				<vlc:option>repeat=1</vlc:option>
				<vlc:option>start-time=60.0</vlc:option>
				<vlc:option>stop-time=120.0</vlc:option>
				<vlc:id>0</vlc:id>
			</extension>
		</track>
	</trackList>
	<extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
			<vlc:item tid="0"/>
	</extension>
</playlist>

The two parameters "start time" and "stop-time" are evaluated by VLC.

The two parameters "playlist-autostart" and "repeat" are not evaluated by VLC.

What am I doing wrong?

Can not anyone help me?

Is this question really so difficult that no one has an answer?

Or just noone knows.

The two "non-working" parameters are not per-item parameters; they are global. You cannot pass them through a playlist file.

Thanks,

but how does one know which parameter is global and which parameter is not global?

All four mentioned parameters are in the section "[main]" of the vlcrc-file.

Code: Select all
--input-repeat=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]> Input repetitions Number of time the same input will be repeated

This option should work. Playlist autostart is enabled by default in VLC.

Hi mederi,
thank you for your instructions.

Yes, with input-repeat = "a big integer" it works
and I also know that playlist-autostart is enabled by default in VLC.

But it is a fundamental question, which parameters can be passed via the Play List and which are not.

Unfortunately, there are currently no generic ways to determine this other than reading the source code. Patch welcome and all that.
