[feature suggestion]: Playlist looping
Posted: 2017-08-09, 10:23 UTC
Hi,
Unfortunately neither .m3u (.m3u8) nor .pls formats natively support playlist looping. In some media players it is possible to enforce looping by adding the playlist entry itself as the last position (sort of self-reference). However, this does not work in the TC medial player.
I DO realise it is already possible to “Repeat all (loop)” any playlist manually, but was wondering it would be possible to do more programmatically. Maybe it would be possible to add this feature in the future versions, a specific MediaPlayerActivity call that would loop current playlist if media player is on? This would allow a new degree of control and flexibility that could be triggered even by external apps.
I would also love to hear from you if you have somehow managed to have the playlists loop without manual changing of the setting in the media player context menu.
Best,
Genzeryk
