That's the right way to do it.

Yes the --loop option is buggy with MPEG-1 PS files (.mpg files) and 
some MPEG-2 PS files (.vob).
You can convert your files in MPEG-2 TS using fileoutput in VLS and then 
the loop streaming should work.

You can also use VLC with 'stream output'. It should work far better 
with MPEG-1 files.
