Loop Video - martinav - 2024-10-10
I was wanting to use Roku devices as an inexpensive solution to run digital signage on several TVs. Jellyfin works great to serve the videos, and playback works, but I dont see a loop setting where we can keep videos looping continually. I did find this on the gethub server, but I dont know if it is what I'm trying to do, and I have no idea what to do with it if it is something to add to the server.
Thank you.

The file that PR references no longer exists in the current version.
AFAIK, there is no way to loop video in the Roku app.

Any other ideas how to loop video on a monitor using anything?? I would still love to host videos on Jellyfin because its so easy to do this the way I have it setup. I just need videos to loop. Is there another way/

Check out Jellyfin MPV Shim: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-mpv-shim
MPV Shim lets you do a lot of things. One of which is infinite looping by pressing "shift+l" (L).
You can also A-B loop by just using "l".
This will require you to use a PC or laptop hooked up to the TV.
From any Jellyfin client that lets you cast to another in-network device (any client with the Jellyfin web UI), you just cast to the MPV Shim device and it will pop-up on the computer you have it running on.
MPV Shim will always be waiting in the background of a PC. It will only pop up its video player when called upon.

You COULD use VLC in conjunction with Jellyfin. Install the DLNA plugin in Jellyfin and use VLC as a DLNA client. VLC has a playback loop option. But this would require a PC/mini PC. An Android TV client might be an option, since they can install VLC directly. But I'm not sure if the Android TV version of VLC is 1-to-1 with the PC version.
