per-file video looping

[tony4]

I'm looking into lua to achieve the following:

I have a playlist with various video files, all have the same format. I want to control the looping option on a per-file basis. Here's an example

1. opener (fade in - plays only once, automatically transitions into (2))
2. looped video (shall loop automatically without user intervention)
3. fade out (plays only when the user skips forward)
4. another clip (plays automatically without user intervention)
5. looped clip
... and so on.

I was thinking of parsing either a custom playlist format or the file name to determine whether to set or clear the 'loop once' option on start of a new file.

Is this possible with lua in VLC?

Thanks!
Tony

Hey there,

can anyone please fill me in if I can somehow automate setting/clearing the LOOP property of a playlist item?

Thanks a lot in advance!
