Yes, I know that. That's why I use it to add different contents in
sequence (thus, creating a playlist). Adding 0 or nothing has (or
should have...) the same effect: start playing the file given as the
first argument. What I get is not this, but restarting the current
item. Note that this ONLY happens when, after adding many files to the
list with 'loadfile path/to/file X' and playing an item different from
the first one, I try to play a new item (thus restarting the playlist)
with 'loadfile path/to/new/file' or 'loadfile path/to/new/file 0'.

This is the MPlayer output:


loadfile path/to/first/file   <--------- start the playlist with this first item
...
starts playing first item
...
loadfile rtsp://192.168.1.101/metal_KORN  1 <------------ added
another item to the playlist
...
finishes playing first item
starts playing the second item (rtsp://192.168.1.101/metal_KORN)
...
VO: [xv] 352x240 => 352x270 Planar YV12
loadfile rtsp://192.168.1.101:60100/rock_REDHOT  <------- while
playing the second item, interrupt it and start playing a new item

GNOME screensaver enabled

Playing rtsp://192.168.1.101:60100/metal_KORN.  <-------------- IT
STARTS PLAYING THE CURRENT ITEM AGAIN!!!
Resolving 192.168.1.101 for AF_INET6...

Checked with local and RTSP streams and different number of items.

How can this be solved? Is it a bug?

So, any similar command in rc2? Will it be available in the final
release?  I just wanted to check that the previous issue couldn't be
solved calling this command before.

Emmmm... What do you mean? I want to develop a media player frontend
through which I can manage playlists, so obviously, I will do it with
my application, but I need the embedded a media player to support it.
I could restart MPlayer every time I needed a new playlist but this is
inefficient and for sure there is a better alternative using native
MPlayer commands, isn't it?


Any idea, suggestion or piece of advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Javi
