Play infinitely looping video on-load in HTML5

问题

I\'m looking to place a video in an HTML5 page that will begin playing on page-load, and once completed, loop back to the beginning without a break. The video should also NOT have any controls associated with it, and either be compatible with all \'modern\' browsers, or have the option of a polyfill.

Previously I would have done this via Flash and FLVPlayback, but I would prefer to steer clear of Flash in the HTML5 sphere. I\'m thinking I could use javascript\'s setTimeout to create a smooth loop, but what should I use to embed the video itself? Is there something out there that will stream the video the way FLVPlayback would?

回答1:

The loop attribute should do it:

<video width="320" height="240" autoplay loop>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Should you have a problem with the loop attribute (as we had in the past), listen to the videoEnd event and call the play() method when it fires.

Note1: I'm not sure about the behavior on Apple's iPad/iPhone, because they have some restrictions against autoplay.

Note2: loop="true" and autoplay="autoplay" are deprecated

As of April 2018, Chrome (along with several other major browsers) now require the muted attribute too.

Therefore, you should use

<video width="320" height="240" autoplay loop muted>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

For iPhone it works if you add also playsinline so:

<video width="320" height="240" autoplay loop muted playsinline>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

You can do this the following two ways:

1) Using loop attribute in video element (mentioned in the first answer):

2) and you can use the ended media event:

window.addEventListener('load', function(){
    var newVideo = document.getElementById('videoElementId');
    newVideo.addEventListener('ended', function() {
        this.currentTime = 0;
        this.play();
    }, false);

    newVideo.play();

});
