HTML5 <Video> "Loop" with a gap or delay of few seconds

UID picture UID · Aug 17, 2015 · Viewed 12k times · Source

I am using the HTML 5 "Video" tag to show the video on my page with the "Loop" feature or attribute.

Is there any way we can add a delay or gap between video using the "Loop" attribute??

<video id="myVideo" autoplay loop src="http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4">

Please refer the link to see the Video tag code > "http://jsfiddle.net/nrf5fbh8/1/"

Please suggest!


Updated my code, my video tag DO NOT have controls.

Thanks!

Expanding on my comment above, basically instead of using the loop attribute you can set up a listener and place a function within the listener to replay the video after a specified amount of time(in milliseconds) once the video has ended. The JS would look like this:

document.getElementById('myVideo').addEventListener('ended',myHandler,false);
function myHandler(e) {
    console.log('ended');
    setTimeout(function(){
        document.getElementById('myVideo').play();
    }, 5000);
}
