Last element of playlist loop

[crimson69666]

Hi!

I'm trying to find a way of looping the last element of a playlist. I tried about everything without any luck.

Is there a way to achieve that?

Eample:
======
media1.mpg <=== Play 1 time
media2.mpg <=== Play 1 time
media3.mpg <=== Loop the last

I tried with XPSF <loop> media3.mpg </loop> but VLC simply stop to play when it reaches this part.

Thanks!

Correction: i tried XSPF playlist (sorry for typo).

Googling around, i saw some people asking last year to add <loop> </loop> to XSPF. I would be
so cool if VLC would be able to correctly interpret this ! Have the "loop" command acting
globally won't cut it for us.

The idea is to play the content of a playlist and loop on the last item listed inside the playlist.

At the right time, we'd connect remotely by telnet and launch another playlist with the same idea: the
last element of the playlist would be played in loop.

We already have the Windows PC auto-logging and the shell is now VLC (instead of Windows Explorer) so
change of video files are smooth instead of window blinks when using the explorer shell.

This question was made several years ago...
Almost 4 years later I repeat the same question: Is it possible to loop a single track in the XSPF playlist??
In therms of a pause we can do it in a xspf playlist as follows:

Code: Select all

<track> <location>vlc://pause:10</location> <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0"> <vlc:id>1</vlc:id> </extension> </track>

Simple! Powerful!
Is there something similar to loop a track???
With CLI VLC it is possible to loop a given number of times:

Code: Select all

cvlc Example.mp4 :input-repeat=3

So I think it can be done using a XSPF playlist.

Please someone enlight me with wisdom and knowledge to accomplish this task!

Thanks in advance.

.bat playlist might work in theory with :repeat before the last item, but I ain't sure.
