Dear Paul,
before answering you i wanted to confirm that, at least with the testmaterial i use, there is no black frame at the point of loop.
i am using handbrake with the 4k setting available on the website, basically the high quality streaming preset of handbrake but with forced h265.
connected to my desktop monitor (in 4k), a raspi 400 with a A2 rated sd card, did not stutter or showed black frames while looping. playback was from the internal card, too.
i used the 240p slow motion of my phone to verify what i think i saw going on the screen.
please do share if you find out where it needed to be improved, if you get it working?
best, Julius.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I tried again from scratch (a couple of times):
Video plays smooth but still get 1/2 second black at the end of the loop. The video loops correctly (1/4 second delay, but no black screen) on my desktop players (including VLC).
hi, is the filename „loop.mp4“? other than that, my guess it‘s an encoding issue.

Thank you!! Naming the file loop.mp4 seems to have fixed it! I knew I saw that in your documentation somewhere but I couldn't find it on review. Thanks so much!
This is awesome for 4K! The only problem is the 1/2 a second gap at the end of a cycle. I've tried an off-the-shelf solutions as well (Neumi Atom 4K) and it also has a gap. The HD OMXPlayer Pi build has a slight delay but not a black screen.
Any chance in the future for a no-gap solution? I read that VLC for the Pi is not ready for prime time but I don't understand why this hasn't been solved, even commercially.
Thanks for your work on this.
