Hi.
What I want is for as soon as XBMC is started, it plays a video file on a continuous loop - no user input required.
Is this possible?

Yes, but the control is in a weird spot. Start to play the video, use tab to go back to the XBMC GUI and bring up the sidebar menu and mini playback controls, and there you will see a repeat button.

But will I have to do this every time XBMC is restarted?

Repeat button only shows up for Music at least not in confluence. Or am I missing something?

You have to queue your video, go into "Now playing" and then you have the Repeat option (Off, All, One) available on the left slide-out menu. However, when you restart XBMC, the Repeat option gets reset to Off. Can't think of any way off-hand to do what sobeitjedi is requesting.

artrafael,
If I put more than one file in the playlist, I found that it only repeats the first file, and can never get to the rest of the files. I want it to repeat the whole playlist, not just the first file.
Now I have some interesting findings. I have tried over 10 reboots using SSH sudo reboot. The first reboot repeats only the first file, the second reboot repeats the whole playlist, the third reboot repeats only the first file, etc. That is, the reboot alternate between repeating the whole playlist and repeating just the first file. I have tried another 10 more reboots by just unplugging the power supply, and the behavior is the same.
