Resume/restart playback of a video from first frame? about info-beamer-nodes

They don't exist at the moment. I've fixed the typo.

Sorry for the delay. Right now there's no way to directly solve that you're trying to do. Looping a specified number of times requires you to recreate a video object each time, as there's no way to count or limit the loops for a video started with looped = true.

I might look into that though as it might sound useful for certain projects.

Hi Florian,
no problem. Ok I am aware there is no way right now, and in fact what I have tried is to have a counter and use it to reload the video a number of times. Unfortunately the second time the video does not display..

But this was just half of the quetion. the other half was how to resume a video (specifically the loop in the example intermission-many not from where it was paused, but from the beginning? Is it even possible?

Thanks, the product is very nice and it is amazingly stable and powerful.

Unfortunately there is also to no :restart() or :seek(0) method for videos that would allow you to restart an already loaded video object. If you don't need seamless video playback, you might just solve your use case by only ever having one video loaded and playing. When it ends, you'd unload it and then start the loop video. If you want to interrupt the playback with another video, you'd stop the current video and replace it. Would that work?

Hi.. you do mean that there are not :restart or :seek(0)? Or there are, but it is an unfortunate thing?
At the moment I've bypassed the problem ignoring it. in the future I will try reloading each time, thanks!
