Hello,

I am trying to create a kiosk solution (FM PRO), having a video in background and a press here button to start it.

Can someone tell me if there is a solution to implement this:

How to loop container mp4 ?

Thanks for your comments and support

Do you use MBS FileMaker Plugin?

You can control interactive container via JavaScript there.

See blog posts:

Interactive FileMaker Containers are Webviewers

Zooming video containers on Windows

You probably want to find the html5 video player and then set loop = true; in JavaScript.

Dear @MonkeybreadSoftware

For this customer i can't use a plugin solution because is "pro-bono social project".

399 USD is too much for me now, but I used your plugin before and is amazing (excellent work).

Thanks for your comment

I would like to mention that you probably need a seats license, which should be cheaper.

And if this is a non-profit organization, academic usage or you present us a compelling reason, we may give a discount.

I don't think it's possible to have a video play in a loop inside a container field (without a plugin).

However, it should be possible to use a web viewer for this. This then becomes a question in HTML, not in Filemaker - see for example:

Dear @comment

Thanks again for your comment and support.

I already tried it and works, but, how to playback automatically a web viewer ?

And there is a Windows restriction or Edge which doesn't allow to access local files, but is possible to turn this with a HTTP file server (but is one more software to include and to support).

 

Thanks again

This too is an HTML question. I have no personal experience with this but I see that the video element can have an autoplay attribute:

You say the file is in a container field. Does it work if you pass the container data to the web viewer as Base64 encoded?

 

I now see this is a cross-post:

Please next time include a link so that we can avoid duplication of effort.
