editLooping video in VLC
editI have a video file (MP4) that I would like to view in an endless loop in VLC. I can set VLC to "loop one" or "loop all" mode, but when I view the video on VLC, once the video has finished, VLC closes and reopens, reloading the same video. I would like it to just seamlessly loop the same video from the beginning without reopening or reloading anything. Is this possible? JIP | Talk 20:07, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, it’s possible but you need to install a run time processing interface. If you don’t have access to that, it’s just a simple matter of reconfiguring the video processing environment to loop within the framework parameters of your video. I hope this helps.

- You might try finding the advanced controls (enabled under "view" I think), and then using the button which allows looping of a section of the video. Use a really large section, like all of it. Don't know for sure that this will work, but I think it's worth a go. Card Zero (talk) 06:38, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- Does it need to be VLC? If not, you might find it simplest to download a different video player like one of those listed here. In my experience, the K-Lite Codec Pack with its fork of Media Player Classic plays (and loops) plenty of video formats with no problems. Shells-shells (talk) 07:29, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
