Hello, all ...
I am seeing the following behavior in VLC playlist handling (this
happens in unmodified 0.8.4a):
1. start VLC with an empty playlist:
PugsleyButt:/Applications jmzorko$ VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -
verbose --intf dummy -I rc --rc-host localhost:8001 /Users/jmzorko/
work/playlist_empty.m3u --sout='#duplicate{dst=std
{access=udp,mux=ts,url=127.0.0.1:1234}}' --ttl 0 --loop
2. over the rc interface, add an item:
PugsleyButt:~ jmzorko$ telnet localhost 8001
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
playlist
| no entries
playlist: returned 0 (no error)
add /Users/jmzorko/work/sdmedia/
Preview1711206.mpg
trying to add /Users/jmzorko/work/sdmedia/Preview1711206.mpg to
playlist add: returned 0 (no error)
status change: ( New input: /Users/jmzorko/work/sdmedia/
Preview1711206.mpg )
status change: ( audio volume: 256 )
status change: ( play state: 1 )
status change: ( stop state: 0 )
3. observe VLC stream the item, then stop, even though --loop is
specified on the VLC server command line
[00000254] main playlist: nothing to play
[00000254] main playlist: stopping playback
So, my question is simple: Is this a bug? It seems like one e.g. VLC
loops an initially non-empty playlist with items added via the rc
interface, yet VLC doesn't loop an initially empty playlist with
items added via rc? It certainly isn't what I would expect ...
Regards,
John
