XSPF playlist issue: start-time and stop-time?

[gdeangel]

I have a playlist that works acceptably for VLC on my laptop. I would expect that the same playlist, if loaded into a directory containing the same .MP3 files on my Android phone would produce the same result when played in VLC for Android, but it appears not to. The tracks are loaded, but the extensions for start time and stop time are not.

Here's a relevant example:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? > <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/"> <trackList> <track> <location>Stravinsky_FirebirdSuite1945_revised_InfernalDance_10.mp3</location> <title>The Firebird Suite: Infernal Dance</title> <creator>Igor Stravinsky</creator> <album>Firebird Suite (1945 Version); Petrushka Suite (1945 Revised Version)</album> <duration>274000</duration> <image>(embedded)</image> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:option>start-time=195</vlc:option> <vlc:option>start-time=230</vlc:option> </extension> </track> </tracklist> </playlist>

This feature is critical for me to play along with a particular passage in a song, and to loop it over and over for practice purposes. As I said, it works on my laptop (Ubuntu) version of VLC, but not on my phones version of VLC for Android. Any clue if there is extra hoops that can enable it in the latter, or changes to the XSPF files needed... or maybe the feature is missing and could be added in a future build?
