Cyclic playback

[Idsa]

I need to play one file cyclically, but VLC unloads the file after the end of it is reached. Is any workaround to change default behaviour?

My workaround is to have a timer wich checks the current time like this:

if( libvlc_media_player_get_time(_mp, &_vlcexcep) >= libvlc_media_player_get_length(_mp, &_vlcexcep)-someMilliseconds ){
//set video back to 0;
// pause it;
}

But if there is a better way I would appreciate that. I´d like to use the end reached event.

It would be great if there were a VLC option that would prohibit unloading video after end is reached.

There is one in the playlist. From the command line, it's --loop

That's great! That's exactly what I need. Thank you very much!
