Loop Playback Toggle for 'Play/Stop Audio File' Function
« on: December 14, 2025, 10:49:13 »
A checkbox setting to enable or disable looping of audio files during playback via the built-in Audio Previewer in MC. Also support for ".MID" files would be an added bonus !!

I see If I can add looping..

I can add so .mid files are sent to the MediaEngine. But if something is actually playing or not is not up to MC. Playing audio is handled by Windows. So it depends on what codecs is installed in Windows.

Alright, thank you —that'd be excellent ! Ideally, Looping should be configured via a checkbox setting in either Core Settings or Explorer Panel Settings (whichever, I get confused.) Also, .MID should be played —I'am not 100% certain though. :)

P.S: You can test /w this .MID (MIDI) audio file (they are all generally very tiny file-sized): BSQ.MID (36 KB)

No that .mid did not play on my Windows 11. Look like it is not supported by default. But maybe if some 3rd party codec is installed.

Oh I see, it plays on "Media Player Classic: Home CInema" app (MPC: HC, part of K-Lite Codec Pack (Standard Edition).) I have Windows 10 by the way. It's alright then… Would still be nice to loop supported file formats. :D

Yes the Windows MediaEngine (that MC is using) is not the full Media Player. it is a core part in Windows for playing actual audio (.MID are not audio files.  but instruction on how to generate sound.)

So Sorry. Mid files will probably not work

That's a pity, I actually thought it would play though. ;D I could still loop my MP3 songs…
