[vlc-devel] vlc MediaPlayer object does not restart after reaching end of video file?

[Tony Anecito]

Well looks like vlc resets objects or clears them. I am still not sure if it removes the mediaPlayer and creates another which I suspect I will have to do. I found this code snippet in vlc which for end of playing event indicates it might not be reusing the mediaPlayer but it is a long stretch for myself to reach that conclusion.

if (p_event->type == libvlc_MediaPlayerEndReached) {
        i_first_time_media_player_time_changed = 0;
        p_vlc_mediaObject->clearMediaController();
        emit p_vlc_mediaObject->stateChanged(Phonon::StoppedState);
        emit p_vlc_mediaObject->finished();
    }

I am not sure what finished() for the mediaObject does or how that object relates to the mediaPlayer yet.

Regards,
-Tony
