[Feature] Region-based Looping (a.k.a. A/B looping) #3264

I think could be added to marker. Set end point on marker also allow looping |

That would be a way to do it, but I'm picturing something that doesn't have to leave behind an artifact like a Marker--it's just an ephemeral behavior of the player. mpv and its derivatives all do this. In mpv, when a video is playing you can hit "L" to toggle looping the whole video (which would also be nice), or "l" (that's a lower case L) to flag the start point, then "l" again to flag the endpoint and jump the player back to the start point. When it hits the end point, it jumps back to the start point again. When the user hits "l" a third time, the points are cleared and play proceeds normally from wherever the playhead is. |

I'd really like to see end time and looping for markers. If you could use the simple mpv type approach to looping and then create a marker from that, it would be great as well. |

Hey look, there's a plugin for it: https://github.com/phhu/videojs-abloop |
A/B looper as an ephemeral feature of the video player can be a distinct, but related, feature from the "end" timestamp of the Marker. Selecting a marker with an end time would just pre-configure the video player. Having a/b loop be part of the Marker system gives it all the same niceties such as tagging, animated previews, global search, backups, etc. With that said, the marker thumbnail would need a distinct way to distinguish itself from a typical bookmark-like marker. |

I've started work toward this feature on my fork and would like to get this merged in for everyone 😄 As an initial step, I've integrated the plugin suggested above, and added |

While playing a video, enable the user to mark the start and end points of a region of the video. The player will then loop that region until stopped by the user.
