I’m not sure that is looping anyhow, as it just says ‘Repeat’ (as in one time). I also notice that ‘Repeat’ does not do anything either. In the Playback drop down menu, I see something called ‘A-B loop’ which does nothing when I try to highlight it, and does not loop anything. The controls on the bottom are still only the very basic play, pause, and stop. I have scoured many online instructions for just simply looping a video or audio file in VLC MP, each one giving information that makes no sense, since there are (honestly) no toggle buttons for looping anywhere, no ‘Tools’ menu, and definitely no ‘Advanced Tools’ menu box, or in any drop down menu anywhere. I am using a recently updated VLC media player Version 3.0.16 Vetinari (Intel64bit) on Mac OS 10.14.6 Mojave. There are still only the most basic control buttons, play, pause and stop, and that is all. I find no toggle for looping anywhere, on bottom of player screen or anywhere else. I can’t find instructions that make any sense. I am only trying to simply loop entire files in VLC. Bring up the advanced controls first and then the starting and ending position within a media file can be defined. The A to B looping feature control button is available in the Advanced Controls. In terms of audio, it is for listening (and understanding) an isolated part by repeatedly playing it.

This feature allows us to watch a portion of a video again and again. Then loop from A to B continuously unless you hit stop or exit the loop. Mark a starting position A, then define the ending position B which are both somewhere in the middle of VLC’s timeline. What we need to do to achieve this goal is use the A to B loop feature in VLC Media Player.

But what we are trying to achieve is looping through a media file and the clip that is required to be played repeatedly is somewhere in the middle of a lengthy video or audio. The player can easily end a video and start from the very beginning. Let’s say that there is a clip or a couple of seconds/minutes in a video or audio that needs to be played through continously in a loop in VLC Media Player.
