Title: Set a video to loop?
Post by: 8bitsdeep on July 04, 2019, 06:41:06 PM

Hi all!  I just switched over from Attract Mode and I'm really impressed with RetroFE so far.

I'm making a theme and I have a background video I'd like to loop, as it's only 30 secs long.  Is there any way to do that?  I wasn't able to find anything in the docs.

There's a videoLoop option in the RetroFE/settings.conf file which when set to 0 will loop videos.

Hmm, that was already set to 0. Is that setting perhaps only for the dynamically loaded game videos?

Sorry, that's my fault. I totally forgot to add that to the documentation. I see the <video> tag isn't even in there at the moment. It supports a numLoops parameter, which defaults to 1 (with 0 being infinite loops).

Awesome, thank you, Pieter!
