Video ---> Play in loop until stopped or until swiped

skinny

Hello smart people.

Some of my videos are very short (5 seconds long). Is there a way to let the video loop until the user presses exit or goes to the next image/video? Right now, the video just stops after the 5 seconds.

By the way, this is literally the coolest photo gallery I have ever seen. It's one file that creates an entire system... 🤯 I love it.

Sorry, but video LOOP isn't a config option. I could make video attributes an option in javascript config in next release. Keep in mind, applying LOOP attribute to videos would be assigned to all videos, as Files Gallery can't differentiate between long and short videos when it loads them.

I would love to have this as an option in custom.js:

video_loop: true, // loop all videos

rantonse I can add that in next release 👍️

I wonder if loop="true" should even be applied as default, since there isn't anything else that is supposed to happen after the video completes playing once ... The user can at any time navigate to next video or close the popup.

Karl Great!

Yes, why not make it the default.

In latest release Files Gallery 0.9.0, all videos will now loop and attempt to autoplay by default.

Keep in mind, autoplay could be blocked by browser (depending on audio, mobile and other factors). Autoplay can be disabled from Javascript config option _c.config.video_autoplay.
