how to post a looping mp4 video?

[sanchius]

Is there an easy way to embed an mp4 video from flickr.com into a post so that the video just starts automatically and continuously loops? Just like how still pictures currently automatically display in a post, but with a looping video.

I'm using flickr because TheSamba/Gallery doesn't appear to accept .mp4 files.

I'm having AI animate some of my favorite stills pictures and would like to post some.

For example: https://live.staticflickr.com/video/54171353177/e2...LCJ2IjoxfQ

I may be able to make it appear if they provide some capability to view it elsewhere "in-line" like You Tube stuff.

The link you posted does not work so I couldn't check it out

Thanks for the offer!

Do these links work for you (from my vanagon forum post)?

Click the flickr links below to view the videos. Give it a second to load, then a play button should appear in the middle of the image to start the video.

1. Driving past the wind turbines.
2. Driving out to the desert.
3. Sniffing noses with the mustangs.
4. Tuna flying away to heaven.
5. Tuna escaping death. (I was absolutely stunned the video engine generated this outcome, I put nothing about what happens in the last second into the prompt)

I will investigate but I don't see a "Share" link there that allows to you embed the actual video.

It only shares a photo that is a link to the video that takes you to Flickr.

Example of the first video you posted where I did Share then used their BBCode to paste in here:

If I start one of the videos and grab the URL, I get the following, but the s=ey...Q signature is needed.

Yes, I get the same thing.

It's possible they only playing on their web site so they can show ads.

OK, thanks for taking the time to look into this for me.
