Question / Help Browser doesn't play more than 6 videos concurrently

I want to recreate the intro screen seen at the start of this video in OBS studio using the browser source. I currently use OBS standard.

Initially I had a problem with videos not looping. I use an html file which contains the script:

<video autoplay nocontrols loop muted class=vid id="vid1">
<source src="http://absolute/SkylinesSnowfallReleaseTrailer.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

8 times for 8 different videos.

I got round this with OBS using:

<video autoplay nocontrols loop muted class=vid id="vid1">
<source src="file://C:\Trailers\SkylinesSnowfallReleaseTrailer.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

but this won't work with OBS Studio.

Osiris suggested placing the videos in the same folder as the HTML file and omitting the http://absolute/ which doesn;'t change anything. Only the first 6 videos listed load, the last 2 are blank AND none are looping.

I now suspect it may be something to do with the number of videos I am playing. Any suggestions on how to get round it?

I can play 9 videos just fine, be sure you reencoded the videos to the resolution they are playing at. If you are running 8 videos that are 1920x1080 (for example) there will be performance problems.

Might it be related to Chrome's default maximum concurrent connections of 6? That wouldn't effect file URLs but presumably gets applied to http URLs.

Any idea what could be causing it for me? Does the same in obs. I use file: and it's fine. Http: and it's limited to 6. Windows 10/64 running from a samsung SSD.

I really have no idea, I can't reproduce it.
What is your cpu usage like when using 6 videos?
