Dears,
did anybody manage to open a playlist created previously in VLC? The only extension is .m3u what VLC handles for me anyway, but neither opening it in PD with the extension nor without works.
actually i don't think it is really possible. (even libvlc has removed direct support for playlist-files; the application has to parse the playlist and then create a "media_list_t" structure according to it, which can be played; Gem does nothing of that kind)
otoh, m3u is a rather simple file-format; you could even try to parse it from within Pd.
And still the question is how do you loop it pd? send a [loop( message to pix_video or in the message box there should be a loop command?
that's a tricky question: how do you loop a live-video stream? after all [pix_video] is really an interface to infinite pix streams, not to fixed-length media; hence you don't get information about film length and EOS, which you need if you want to loop. the object to play fixed-length media is [pix_film]. unfortunately, there is no VLC backend for [pix_film] so far. luckily there is a GMERLIN-backend for pix_film, which can play a lot of files as well.
