Hello,
I'm using the software to trigger pneumatic air cylinders at certain moments during a 4 minute movie. It's very easy to make a show with the movie as a track, and it triggers the cylinders on cue. My only problem is that I can't find a way to loop the show. At the end of the loop, the show loops and it replays the DMX cues, but the video disappears.

I tried putting the show in a chaser loop, and assigning it to a button on virtual desk.. I tried making the duration of the chaser match the show. I also tried making the chaser duration longer and shorter than the show. I tried making a "phantom" track that extends beyond the end of the video because that was suggested for someone trying to do the same but with an audio track. I tried making the video settings loop, and one shot. I've tried a lot of things. Is there a way to do this?

I'm using the latest version of QLC+ freshly installed a few days ago. I'm using a Mac running High Sierra, and an Entec Open USB interface.

Thanks!

BTW, if anyone wants to know, this is the project I'm working on. I used another software for the show last year. I'd like to be able to use qlc because I like it better.

Did you try: stop all running functions and then retrigger the button that starts your show?
(This trick did solve my raspi problem, unable to retrigger a scene)
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore

The Video function editor has a playback mode which can be set to "loop"
I checked (on Linux) and it works as expected
