I have a video of my company logo growing slowly toward the screen with changes in light etc. It is 22MB so under limit for now.

I’d like to know is there a way to make the video ping back and forth indefinitely?

or at least is there a way to make it repeat?

Many Thanks 🙂

Hi There,

Yes you can make the video loop.

Is the video hosted in your host account or youtube or vimeo?

Where exactly you would like this video to be on?

Can you provide the URL of your website?

Thanks,

Joao

I have 2 problems really.
I didn’t want to use a 3rd party site like YouTube or whatever else to host my video content, so decided to load a 22 meg test video i made, a slow pan of the logo.

Ideally I would Like it to auto-play and repeat on my home page.

– see – http://www.meschene.com

the 2nd problem is that the video itself only appears on certain browsers and devices. Fine on my PC – chrome is best, but video takes 10 seconds to appear on edge [win 10] – My girlfriends laptop will do everything on Firefox, but no video on edge, either.
My phone used to play the embedded stuff from YouTube fine, but because i want full support [i was told that i could not get support with an issue relating to YouTube, and I don’t like the fact that at the end of my show-reel has pictures of lots of random YouTube videos on my site i hate that.

I have a mammoth computer and connected to broadband via Ethernet – super fast.

In a nutshell I would love it if –

1. My video [on home page] worked on all devices and browsers. [especially my new Samsung S6 android] – worked fine with YouTube embedded but nothing from media library.

2 My Video will repeat indefinitely. on the homepage.

Note – I am not using Vimeo or YouTube because i was told i would not be supported here with 3rd party hosted footage. I decided to upload it to my media library – its only 22 meg.

If in the event that I CAN use vimeo or youtube and still get support, I’d like to know how to repeat the video still.

Update – no video appearing on edge browser full stop – regardless of 4 different devices .. !

Hi Bildreth,

Are you in Cornerstone? The video player element has a loop option.

If you’re on a classic editor, you can do the shortcode.

[x_video_player loop="true" m4v="http://yourdomain.com/video.mp4" poster="http://yourdomain.com/image.jpg"]

The video you have is too big (22MB), try to test it first on a smaller clip and see if that plays on Edge. If so, then you need to optimize your video.

Thanks.
