Im an using the following code as a wrapper for libvlc however when a file is played it always loops at the end of the track and help in stopping this would be appreciated.

This is were i think the problem is

Code: Select all

  ' try init
        Try
            ' create instance
            m_iVlcHandle = VLC_Create
            If (m_iVlcHandle < 0) Then
                m_strLastErr = "Failed to create VLC instance"
                Return False
            End If
            ' make init optinons
            Dim strInitOptions As String() = {"vlc", "--no-one-instance", "--no-loop", "--no-drop-late-frames", "--disable-screensaver"}
            'If m_strVlcInstallDir.Length > 0 Then
            'strInitOptions(0) = m_strVlcInstallDir & "\vlc"
            'End If
            ' init libvlc
            Dim errVlcLib As Err = VLC_Init(m_iVlcHandle, strInitOptions.Length, strInitOptions)
            If (errVlcLib <> Err.Success) Then
                VLC_Destroy(m_iVlcHandle)
                m_strLastErr = "Failed to initialise VLC"
                m_iVlcHandle = -1
                Return False
            End If
        Catch ex As System.Exception
            m_strLastErr = "Could not find libvlc"
            Return False
        End Try

The full code is at the bottom of the post

Thanks, James W
