feature request: add ability to play a file on repeat

[chad-green]

Just a suggestion, how hard would it be to add a way to loop a file through indefinitely? It would just repeat the file over and over.

Definitely not hard. I'll try to implement it on weekend. Thank you for suggestion!

Not on this weekend. Maybe next.
Merry Christmas!

Really appreciate it! Merry Christmas to you too!

Would love to see this feature as well!

I definitely implement this feature on this weekend.

As a temporary workaround you could use procedural-generated video stream. It never ends. Like this: rtsp://localhost:8554/picture?picture.width=320&picture.height=240

Ok guys, the feature is implemented and it seems that it is working.

A new parameter was added to the config file: repeat: true

...
  file:
    class: Filesystem
    conf:
      repeat: true

It could be set globally in config file server.yaml, or locally, just for current connection with GET param, like this:
ffplay -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://localhost:8554/file?repeat=true

Please check it out

Release containing new feature: v0.5.1
