The best way seems to ask the maker of this player. He can surely help, and probably he's the only one that can help if you can't find the solution with the publicly available information.

No Loop...
Mar 26, 2014 1:45AM PDT

Thanks for your quick response.....I would love to go to the maker but I don't know who the maker is....this was free and the only thing I can go by is it looks like a Windows Media Player button but I don't know if it is Windows or not.
This is the code:
<embed "1" TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="http://www.myxyzwebsite.com/music/playlist.m3u" autostart="true" loop="true" ShowStatusBar="true" EnableContextMenu="false" WIDTH="290" HEIGHT="45"></embed>

I think there is quite acceptable work-around mentioned in https://support.mozilla.org/nl/questions/885427.

This says nothing about IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari, however. A website that only supports Firefox isn't so very useful, so you might want to extend your testing.

Loop
Mar 26, 2014 2:14AM PDT

I went to the Mozilla link after reading I changed the loop="true" to playcount="99"
Now it is working perfectly on Mozilla. I will log in with IE and see if I get the same positive results....

Thank you for the help.

From memory it doesn't loop on lists.

You may have to write some javascript to get this to work. Can't code? Ask your web master or try a programming forum.

Thank you for your help, as above I think I am fixed up but if there is a problem with other browsers I will take my question to the coding and programming forum....BTW I didn't see that there was such a forum until I posted in this forum.
Cool

I like codeproject.com for programming questions.

I've seen the javascript loop and such question there before as well as questions about how to accommodate various browsers.
