How do you make MPlayer with shuffle and loop 0?
 
Currently I am start my mplayer with the following command:
Code:

mplayer -playlist playlist -loop 0
and it works fine.

However, if I use
Code:

mplayer -playlist playlist -loop 0 -shuffle
My songs will play in a random order, but the loop does not work anymore. The player will stop when it play all the songs from the playlist.

Is there anyway to make MPlayer shuffle and also loop forever? Thank you for helping!

Syst: CentOS 6.x x86_64

This:
Code:

mplayer -loop 0 -shuffle $(cat your_playlist.m3u)
seems to work.
