A-B loop seems broken in 17.4.0 rev 8495

[sikboy1029]

It will loop the whole file but ignores the A-B selection

[rvm]

It works for me. Can you send the mplayer/mpv log after trying to play a file with A-B loop?

[sikboy1029]

Where would that be? I can say it's an issue with MPV as it works fine using MPlayer

[rvm]

You can find the log in the menu View.

There's been a change recently in mpv regarding A-B loop, SMPlayer 17.4.2 uses the new options for it, if you're using a very old version of mpv then it might not work anymore.

I'm using the mpv included with the portable, here's the log

I can't reproduce the problem. Have you turned on the option "repeat" from the "A-B section" menu?

[sikboy1029]

yep, it just seems to ignore it

[rvm]

Have you tried with SMPlayer 17.4.2?

[burf]

I kinda have the same problem, but if I set my a & b points, then close the video & reopen, then the a/b acts correctly in mpv. Maybe that'll work for you too?
I have no problems when I'm using mplayer.

[sikboy1029]

in 17.4.2 the loop with mplayer seems broken, I can get the mpv loop working in 17.4.0 if I seek out of the a-b points it will jump back to them and work edit: guess thats just a general issue with mplayer if you make the loop only a few seconds, not a bug
