Video Looping Issue


Ahoy there!

I've got a number of videos which are designed to be watched on a loop without pause. The point is to make short but quasi-never-ending story. Here is an example:

As you can see, player hiccups at the end of the video, shows controls for a second and interrupts the viewing experience. I have no idea how to fix this and hope you will help me.

Thanks.

Hi,

The controls always show in the beginning of the video, so the solution might be to set controls to false so they don’t flicker upon repeat.

Best Regards,

Hey, Cooper. Thanks for the answer.

I've tried that already and must say that this solution has its downsides. First of all, without controls there is no way to start a video (which means I have to enable autoplay — pure evil!) and it's also impossible to control the volume level on a desktop. Another thing is that hiding the controls does not solve the interruption — there is still a moment of black screen at the end/start.

You could have the controls enabled, and then disable them in the onPlay event handler. This would make sure that the user could start.

It seems, I have no idea how to do this and can't find any documentation. It is available only for a self-hosted version of the player, right?
