What is the syntax to 'repeat A to B' a video clip using VLC command line?

Question

We can repeat a clip from point A to point B, called repeat A to B, as discussed here.

I need to do this using VLC command line. How can I do that?

Answer 1

I believe the following is what you're looking for:

--start-time starts the video here; the integer is the number of seconds from the beginning (e.g. 1:30 is written as 90)

--stop-time stops the video here; the integer is the number of seconds from the beginning (e.g. 1:30 is written as 90)

--repeat repeats current item until another item is forced

For example

vlc movie.avi --start-time 240 --stop-time 560 --repeat
