Option --play-and-stop

[chinpao]

I m using Videolan.Interop for libvlc in C#. everything is fine but when I set in VideoLanClient.cs the option
string[] args = {... "--play-and-stop", ...}
VlcMediaListPlayer ignores the setting,
does anybody know, wheres my mistake?

Yep. This option is only available through the interface playlist, not the media list player.

Could you provide some code setting playlist option?

[Idsa]

I mean is there any method like libvlc_media_add_option for playlist?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Libvlc does not use the playlist. You need to implement the loop logic yourself.

[Idsa]

Hm... I just need to set "loop" option. As you said earlier, it is accessible only throught interface playlist. So what "interface playlist" is and how can I access it through code?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

The playlist is only available through the interfaces, not through LibVLC. To reiterate you need to implement the behaviour yourself from the libvlc events.

Rémi Denis-Courmont, what do you mean by interface? GUI? If so, it looks like "--repeat" option is not GUI-only feature. Without this options media in stopped when the end is reached, and with this option it is repeated more and more. If it were GUI-only feature, we would have the following workflow:
1. Play
2. End Finished
3. Stop
4. Play (loading again)
5. End Finished
6. Stop
...

But it looks like using "--repeat" the workflow is the following:
1. Play
2. End Finished
3. Set Position=0
4. End Finished
5. Set Position=0
...
