How to remove the pause at the end of a video playback loop?

Each time a video using either `playlist` or `movie` has a noticeable pause at the end of it. I already tried to `loadram` with no avail. In vvvv the video loops perfectly. What can I do?

if on a Mac and using h264 files you can try using the avf engine and seamless looping mode (@loop 4). This only works for looping the entire file.

If using viddll, you should be able to load the last second of the file into ram (loadram -1) to improve looping with problematic files.

Otherwise convert your files to Hap or some other realtime performant codec.

Feel free to send along more details (os version, max version, video engine, file format, length and codec) so we can track these file specific issues and try to get them fixed.

My recommendation is to convert all videos to MJPEG. This is a codec that requires almost zero CPU and doesn't have I or P frames like h264. It's faster and way more precise when it comes to fast skipping, precise cue points and looping.

Ideally everything must need to be converted to HAP format.
