If you're watching it from your own media, you'll come to the end of the file/DVD/whatever and VLC will know. End-of-file is a well-known condition with well-defined semantics. :) And in the theatre, there's a definition of the end based on the origin of the material (the stage manager's script/music score, or something). Yep, there's always an end marker somewhere. But we are now hopelessly off topic, I think! ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
