Hello!

I’d like to have the same MP4 video in HLS loop playback. It’s already playing fine but its length is just 2’10" and it needs to plays endlessly.

Any clues?

Thanks 😉

No exactly what you are looking for. But this may work for you:

[How to loop a pre-roll until a live stream starts (LoopUntilLive)](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-loop-a-pre-roll-until-a-live-stream-starts-loopuntillive%28ModuleLoopUntilLive%29)

If a live stream is never published to the application, the file will loop continuously.

Also, you could use a simple Stream Class stream:

[Stream Class Example](https://www.wowza.com/docs/stream-class-example)

NOTE: In both examples, the Application needs to be a “Live” application not a VOD application.

Best,

Just to clarify, both of these guides use a “static” (pre-recorded) video file as the source for a live stream.

Many thanks, Salvatore, but it won’t work for me as what I have is a video file stored in my server.
