Vlc provide documents in which there are lots of command are given to control vlc from command line. Here is the link of documentation. Now in my task, I need to run a video in a loop, for this I am using this command

vlc --fullscreen --loop t.mp4

where t.mp4 is my video.This is working fine.Now on some particular input I have to run some another video, for this I am again using this command

vlc --fullscreen t1.mp4

Now the problem is, after completing this video I want to run previous video. For this somehow I need to know my current video is completed. For this please tell me the command through which I can know the completion of vlc video.

In your link the first example:

"vlc file1.mpg :fullscreen file2.mpg"

performs what you need. I mean something like this:

vlc t.mp4 :fullscreen :loop t1.mp4 :fullscreen t.mp4 :fullscreen :loop

If you need to be sure that "vlc" process has finished (not just movie) you may do the folloving:

ps ax | grep -v grep| grep "vlc t.mp4" || vlc t.mp4 :fullscreen :loop

This means that if no (||) "vlc t.mp4" string in the process list (ps ax) then start vlc t.mp4.
