From 9fe076f02a67a87a79856e9583fc76aeb211c330 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 22:56:00 +0200 Subject: player: allow passing number of loops to --loop-file E.g. --loop-file=2 will play the file 3 times (one time normally, and 2 repeats). Minor syntax issue: "--loop-file 5" won't work, you have to use "--loop-file=5". This is because "--loop-file" still has to work for compatibility, so the "old" syntax with a space between option name and value can't work. --- DOCS/man/options.rst | 14 +++++++++----- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/man/options.rst b/DOCS/man/options.rst index c6df057834..33431a03e7 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/options.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/options.rst @@ -205,11 +205,15 @@ Playback Control Note that ``--playlist`` always loads all entries, so you use that instead if you really have the need for this functionality. -``--loop-file`` - Loop a single file.
