Seamlessly Loop Videos
Seamless looping essentially puts the video file into a circular buffer and you can seamlessly loop only a single video at a time in a zone, not multiple back-to-back videos.
All tracks in the file, even non-video/audio tracks, must be exactly the same length down to the sample, not just the metadata length value, or there will be a gap at the loop point. numberOfSamples x sampleDuration must be the same for all tracks. Any difference between tracks in the file will cause the loop to not be seamless.
Media Encoding
Files should be encoded with Fast Start (Web-Optimized/Progressive Download) enabled so the MOOV header is at the front/top of the file.
Seamless Video-Only Looping (No Audio)
- XCx55, XTx45, XDx35, HDx25, LS445, XTx44/43, XDx34/33, HDx24, LS424, 4Kx42: Supports seamless looping of H.265 or H.264 .mp4 or .mov files.
- LS425, XDx32/30, HDx23/22/20, LS423/22: Supports seamless looping of H.264 .mp4 or .mov files. These models do not support seamless looping of transport streams.
- HDx10: Can seamlessly loop an H.264 transport stream (which does not use an .mp4 or .mov container).
Seamless Audio and Video Looping
- XCx55, XTx45, XDx35, HDx25, LS445, XTx44/43, XDx34/XDx33, HDx24, LS424, 4Kx42: Supports seamless audio/video looping of .mov files with H.265 or H.264 encoded video and PCM SOWT encoded audio.
- LS425, XDx32/30, HDx23/22/20, LS423/22: Supports seamless audio/video looping of .mov files with H.264 encoded video and PCM SOWT encoded audio.
- HDx10: Does not support seamless audio/video looping.
Seamless Video Wall Looping
We recommend using BrightWall to create a seamless-looping video wall.
- XCx55, XTx45, XDx35, HDx25, LS445, XTx44/43, XDx34/33, HDx24, LS424, 4Kx42: Supports seamless video looping of .mp4 or .mov files with H.265 or H.264 encoded video. If audio is included, the audio/video should be formatted as an .mov file and the audio should be encoded as SOWT PCM for seamless audio.
- LS425, XDx32/30, HDx23/22/20, LS423/22: Supports seamless video looping of .mp4 or .mov files with H.264 encoded video. If audio is included, the audio/video should be formatted as an .mov file and the audio should be encoded as SOWT PCM for seamless audio.
BrightAuthor Classic
You can use either a simple BrightAuthor Classic interactive playlist or a script to loop a single video.
BrightAuthor Classic Project
If the BrightAuthor Classic project has a single video, with no Media End event connecting it to another state or to itself, it will loop seamlessly.
In BrightAuthor versions 4.1.0.x and later, you will need to specify the Loop media option in the Media Properties of the video state.
Custom Script
Copy the following script to a text file and rename it autorun.brs. Change the filename of video.ts in the script to match the video you wish to loop.
v=CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")
v.SetLoopMode(true)
v.PlayFile("video.ts")
while true
sleep(10000)
end while
