[MPlayer-users] -loop problem when file does not exist

Should be a trivial problem. Try: 

	mplayer -loop 3 file

Now lets say the file named "file" doesnot exist. mplayer gives 3 messages
like this:

Playing file
Not an URL!
File not found: 'file'


Playing file
Not an URL!
File not found: 'file'


Playing file
Not an URL!
File not found: 'file'


If the command is: 

	mplayer -loop 0 file

only way out is to press ctrl-c .


The loop parameter should be used only after a _valid_ file has been
detected.

thanks
