Question / Help <video> tag support?

[davethejackal]

I use an html file which contains the script:

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

And yet no video plays. All I see is the outline / box around the video. Is this supported in OBS studio browser? Works fine with OBS and CLR browser.

EDIT: I have tried replaceing the file:///<path> with the http://absolute/<path> but now they don't loop/autorepeat O.o

You can see what I use it for here https://www.twitch.tv/indiebob/v/66201512?t=3m

Because it runs in a sandbox, you need to use http://absolute/path to access local URLs. file:// protocol will not work.

So I put "http://absolute/c:/movie.mp4" for example?

Yep that should work except you spelled absolute wrong :-)

"http://absolute/c:/movie.mp4"

OK so now the problem is that the movies play once then don't repeat. Which they do in "normal" OBS when I use file:/// ... but not when I use http://absolute, which was the original reason i started using file:///
