Is there a way in the RC interface to not have the playback rate reset whenever the playlist loops?

For questions and discussion that is NOT (I repeat NOT) specific to a certain Operating System.

Is there a way in the RC interface to not have the playback rate reset whenever the playlist loops?

In the RC interface, whenever I do something like:

Code: Select all

vlc -I rc add <song> rate 0.5 loop on
After the song finishes and loops, it's back to the normal playback speed again (rate 1).

However in the GUI interface, the playback speed seems to be persisted whenever the playlist loops.

It would be handy to keep the rate the same since I'm trying to practice playing along with the song on the piano.

(I don't think this is OS specific, but I am on MacOS, on VLC 2.2.5.1 (2.2.6 doesn't seem to be available yet on MacOS))

Thanks

Played around with this a bit more and worked out that you can sorta get around it with:

Code: Select all

vlc -I rc add <song> :rate=0.5 loop on
Although an issue is still if you change the rate, when the song loops the rate goes back to whatever you passed in when adding it (e.g. 0.5). I'll raise a ticket about it since it seems to be inconsistent with the GUI.
