The VideoLAN Forums

I need to set a --loop VLC option. I can do it using old libvlc: call VLC_Create and then call VLC_Init. But using method libvlc_new this option does not work.

Here Rémi Denis-Courmont says it is just a GUI feature and that's why it can't be set through libvlc. But how then does it work throught VLC_Init? And how then can I make VLC not to stop video after the end is reached?

Some comments?

Have you tried to give it at the creation of VLC instance?

Yes, of course. That was the first thing I tried.

Looks like I have found this feature at trac: http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/changeset/ ... b9fc6440cd
Even repeat option (which I really need) is implemented for playlist. But every third thread at this forum suggests to implement playlist by myself. Why? How to implement such an internal functionality like repeating without unloading after end is reached?
