How can I loop videos in a playlist without "autoplay" occuring? | Looking Glass | Page 1

I have 8 quilt videos loaded up into the looking glass studio app, and I want to configure my display (Portrait) to run in standalone mode. Each of the videos is set up so that the start and end frames are identical, so I can achieve a looping effect.

However, once I sync my playlist and set it up in standalone mode, the device will finish one "play" of the video, then immediately go to the next video in the playlist. Is there a way to have it continue to loop the same video until I press the "next" button?

The only workaround I can figure out at the moment is to duplicate each video 2-3 times so that it plays multiple times, but then it lags a bit when switching from vid1 to vid1(duplicate).

Am I missing a setting somewhere that enables this? Or should I just go back and re-record my scene in UE5 with multiple loops in the sequence before exporting? Any suggestions?

Thanks for adding this here! Like Bryan mentioned, you can hold down the Play/Pause button to trigger a loop on the current video, then when you hit the Next or Back buttons, it'll move on to the next hologram

Awesome! thank you. I noticed that once I've hit next, it resets the loop toggle and I have do press it again. Any chance that I can make that on by default?

#

otherwise, no worries. It's just a minor change. If I were the one using it to present to ppl it wouldn't be a big deal but you'd be surprised how hard it is to train someone else to press a button...

I don't think so, unfortunately. And definitely hear you on that!

the purpose is to demo furniture options to clients

Do the larger devices (16, 32, 65) have a "deeper" 3D effect? As in, the amount of perceived depth in the scene is more? Also, how about the focus "sweet spot"? I've noticed that with the portrait, even if you max out the depth of field in Ue5, there's a very narrow range where objects are in focus. Stuff too close or too far is blurry
