video looping

[karmacoma]

Hi Jeremy,

How can I make a video loop (until a key press is being made)? I know we can use play(“loop”) for audios, but I don’t think there’s one for video elements. Thank you!

Hi,

You’re right, I should probably add the option to pass "loop" to the play command. In the meantime, here’s a script that’ll do what you want:

newTrial(
    newVideo("turbine", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/Active_Lift_Turbine.ogv")
        .print()
    ,
    newVar("loop", true),
    newTimer("loop", 1)
        .callback( getVar("loop").test.is(true).success(
            getVideo("turbine").play().wait()
            ,
            getTimer("loop").start()
        ) )
        .start()
    ,
    newKey("Enter").wait()
    ,
    getVar("loop").set(false),
    getVideo("turbine").stop()
    ,
    newButton("Next").print().wait()
)

Let me know if you have questions
