re-repeat video / repeat video again

[emsee 3 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi,

 

I have a simple problem, which I wondered if VideoLoader has a solution to. If not, I can achieve it manually, but thought I'd ask.

 

I've got a simple video which repeats 3 times:

vid = new VideoLoader("video.flv", {name:"vid", container:this, repeat:3});
vid.load();

I call it like this:

vid.playVideo();

...but this only works once. The second time I try to play it, it doesn't play.

 

 

I tried calling it this way instead:

vid.gotoVideoTime(0);
vid.playVideo();

...but then it only plays once.

 

 

Is there any way to maintain the repeat settings?

I see what you mean. Yeah, the repeat count wasn't updateable, but I've attached a version of VideoLoader that has a "repeatCount()" method that allows you to get/set that value. So you could do:

yourLoader.repeatCount(0);
yourLoader.gotoVideoTime(0, true);

That should start it from the very beginning and play through all iterations. Let me know if it works well for you and I can add it to the downloads

Hi,

 

Thanks for the update, it's really helpful.

 

When I first tried it, I assumed it would set the number of repetitions to whatever value is passed. I guess it actually sets the current repetition (so if your repeat value is 3 and you set it to 1, it plays the loop twice more).

 

Do you think it would be better to have two get/setters: One to set the repeat count & one to set the current repeat?

 

Either way, I'm happy

Awesome! , i didnt know of VideoLoader

About count.. should'nt stuff be done external..? imo this is bloatness

Imo loop:true/false comnbined with onComplete is enough?

 

myCount = 0

myOnComplete(){

myCount++

if(myCount < 5) myVid.gotoVideoTime(0,true)

}
