loop playback

[fhmanas]

Is it possible to have loop playback, preferably with a set number of loops. I want this, I have a child who wants to watch the same Wiggles again and again and again. Every time the show ends, she calls me to play it again. But I would prefer a choice of going infinite loops or a set number of loops, so that show may end, when my child falls asleep, sometimes after 4 repeats.

Please put it on the todo lists.

Infinite, huh!!! :eek:

This sounds like a situation where it would be worthwile copying the show into 5 or 6 different copies, putting them in the same folder and then use "play all"

Having several copies will just waste valuable drive space which I can use for other shows.

Infinite, which is the normal process of loops, which you have to manually stop to get out of the loop. Having a set iteration, prevents an infinite loop, and still be able to play the program a set number of times.

I know. I just meant that it might be worth it if it's just one show that is being watched over and over again. Until you find a plugin that does it for you

I would like a slight variation on this, in that you could select several shows and then select play all. Moving to a different folder, in my case, wouldn't be practical because of the high turnover in children shows.

yeh, a playlist would be a good idea. I would definitely be able to use that.

At 2GB per show, 5 copies would be too much real estate for me . In any case, the attention span of a child is too erratic, today Barney, tomorrow Elmo. I like the idea of a playlist that can do repeats, so I can have a continous "channel" for my kids, without them calling me every 30 mins to play it again.
