[Q] Stopping from `Loop`

[dwisiswant0]

How can I stop playing from infinite Loop?

[MarkKremer]

Good question, one way to do it is to attach a Ctrl streamer to pause it. However, this will still consume some resources.

I don't think a better way is possible currently, except for copying the Loop code so you can access the remains field. I'm marking this as a good improvement for the future. It's definitely a must-have in my opinion but it should be considered together with some other enhancements so they add to a cohesive whole.

Could you provide some context about what you're trying to achieve? This could help designing what the new features will look like.

Or maybe it's as simple as adding StopNow() and/or StopAtEnd() methods. I would definitely like some context! :)

Thanks for pointing that! I just reading this. It works properly now. :)

Re-opening this. I think it could add value still :)

For my own reference, I think you described the context in your other issue: #129

An alternative to StopNow and StopAtEnd could be to have a Stopper streamer. This is more how Beep does things but it could be difficult to implement something like StopAtEnd using this streamer.
