video looping

[soderlind]

Adding a youtube video without doing any changes. Playing it, it loops at the end of the video.
If I edit the video and check "loop", it doesn't loop anymore, not even if I uncheck/check and save multiple times.

totally not related to the bug report, but that cover/video is amazing 😮 !!

Was able to reproduce with multiple videos - the same experience is not encountered when embeding via the editor either.

So debugging a bit more, it seems to only be affecting YouTube videos. Embedding a Vimeo video ( I used https://vimeo.com/190372437 ) and upon playing the video it did not loop.

Love the 🎵 angle on this issue!

Anyhow, wanted to update the original issue here that the YouTube looping issue appears to be a bug in the underlying mediaelement library version in use in core - details and more discussion on the PR #136 (comment)

Re-opening because YouTube is not fixed yet, which apparently depends on https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39686

Is there a sandbox where I can see this issue and assist you to fix this please? Is this for 4.x version?

[westonruter]

@rafa8626 just install this plugin from GitHub.

[rafa8626]

Once installed is that all I need to do? Excuse my lack of knowledge in Wordpress

[rafa8626]

I tried to add a YouTube video through the Add Media button, but when I paste the URL it has all YouTube styles, not MediaElement. Should I be doing this that way? If not, please indicate how so I can assist you and continue to move towards 4.x version. BTW, is this issue on 4.x version, or on 2.x version?

[rafa8626]

I have submitted a patch on Wordpress ticket. Can you integrate it on your branch and confirm it's fixed, please?
