capsprojectos Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeybreadSoftware Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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.

capsprojectos Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 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).

MonkeybreadSoftware Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_loop.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsprojectos Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no personal experience with this but I see that the video element can have an autoplay attribute: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/video#attr-autoplay 7 minutes ago, capsprojectos said: there is a Windows restriction or Edge which doesn't allow to access local files 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
