I used to have a batch file that started a playlist in VLC, set to loop indefinitely.

Now though, I'm not sure if I have messed it up at some point or a new version of VLC has rendered it obsolete, but VLC no longer opens set to loop.

echo
rem choice /c YN /n /d Y /t 120
taskkill /im vlc.exe

ping localhost -n 5 > nul  
start /max "" "myplaylist.pls" --loop

Does the command flag work for the file type .pls or would I have to open VLC first before loading the playlist?

The below works for me, although taskkill no longer seems to work as it did previously. The CMD window says the kill command was successfully sent, but VLC doesn't close.

echo
rem choice /c YN /n /d Y /t 120
taskkill /im vlc.exe

ping localhost -n 10 > nul  
start /max "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --loop -vvv myplaylist.pls
