Can VLC for Android loop/repeat a video/audio file or playlist?

I have seen that VLC for Android does not implement A-B loop (#8255 (Android: implement A-B loop) – VLC https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/8255), but that is not what I'm asking...

I have downloaded and installed VLC for Android version 1.3.2 (April 30, 2015); I was looking for buttons/options to loop/repeat one song/movie, but I couldn't find any.

The weird thing is that this link: http://www.ghacks.net/2012/12/14/vlc-me ... r-android/, from 2012, actually has a screenshot with something resembling loop/repeat buttons (http://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-content/upload ... player.jpg):

... but that apparently refers to the beta version????

On the other hand, https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Android/ does have some screenshots which are different:

... and while they look more like what I'm seeing on v. 1.3.2, even that does not accurately represent the GUI of 1.3.2. Still, here there are no loop/repeat buttons, just like on 1.3.2.

So I just wanted to confirm - are there, or are there not buttons (or options) to loop/repeat a song/video file or playlist in VLC for Android 1.3.2? If there are not, when have they been removed and why (as they apparently have been there in the beta version)?

PS: I wanted to submit a bug on this, and I tried OpenID, but Trac wanted me to confirm my email address, and on that openID I have an old inactive email, so I lost my patience with that; hope this can motivate someone to post a bug there, in case this is really a bug. Thanks!

Loop and Random are already in the audio player.

But not the video player. Any idea when this will be added?

The image you gave of the beta is the audio player. I'm just explaining.

For the video, it will be added, in the next month.

It hasn't been done yet, so it will be a little while.

Where are the controls for repeating an audio playlist?

not so much a question about repeat... on the Amazon Fire TV VLC app how do you play all the files inside a folder one after another... right now it just plays whichever one you click on and when the file is finished it goes back to the folder view

I would love to see 'repeat all' for videos implemented for Android.
I want to roll out a unified system to replace all the random media devices at my work, but having no video 'repeat' options currently rules VLC out.
Shame too, because I otherwise love the app, plays everything, built in equalizer, user friendly interface etc.

Any updates on the development of this?

Cheers!
