Looping a screensaver video

Post#1 by dcl » 17 Feb 2024, 21:19

Hi!

Is there a way to loop a video as a screen saver in Porteus Kiosk? I've got an MP4 hosted online which is only a few seconds long. I kinda expected Porteus to play this on a loop until a user input dismisses the screen saver, but it just plays through once and then sits on the last frame forever.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Works for me.

Please do as follows:

1) swap the browser (not sure what you are using now)
2) check if video without sound loops correctly

Thanks

Thank you!

My video had sound. I remove the audio track and now it loops as expected.
