Saving the A-B repeat loop to the playlist

Hi,
I regularly use the A-B repeat loop feature of VLC. I would like to save it to the playlist so when I open that list, only that specific section of video plays. I see that VLC does not do this by default.
1. Is there a way of enabling this feature?
2. Alternatively, is there an addon that does this?
3. If not, How can i find the correct object in LUA to access the positions that the A-B repeat feature uses?
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
cheers,
Daniel
p.s. I have also posted this under windows troubleshooting.

Thank you mederi,
One quick further question. Is there a way of passing the option to videolan via the .m3u to play the playlist in a loop. I know there is startup option for this when using the commandline but I don't know to pass it in the .m3u file.
I tried #EXTVLCOPT:loop=1 based on the option in the file "vlcrc" but that didn't seem to work.
Do you have an idea? Or where I can find a reference for passing options to VLC in this way?

I know only following options that can be used with particular playlist items in playlist files:
Playback control:
--input-repeat=<integer [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]>
Input repetitions
Number of time the same input will be repeated
--start-time=<float> Start time
The stream will start at this position (in seconds).
--stop-time=<float> Stop time
The stream will stop at this position (in seconds).
--run-time=<float> Run time
The stream will run this duration (in seconds).
--bookmarks=<string> Bookmarks list for a stream
You can manually give a list of bookmarks for a stream in the form
"{name=bookmark-name,time=optional-time-offset,bytes=optional-byte-off
set},{...}"
Check
vlc -H for full list.
You can create a
batch script file or vlc shortcut icon that will launch vlc.exe with additional global options and load your playlist file containing items with local options.
Code: Select all
"path to your\vlc.exe" --loop "playlist.m3u"
