Playing the same video continuously on Rasberry Pi - Bill Blumsum - 2012-12-20

I have set up a Rasberry Pi with RasbXBMC and can play MP4 videos OK from a WIN 7 pro server via the network.
I want to set it up in our local museum to provide video dispalys to the visitors.
The problemm is that I need to run a single video repeating continuously all day
I cannot see a way to achieve this within the existing controls
Any information on this subgect would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Bill

If you set up a playlist with the files you want, you can then repeat the playlist with a sidebar menu option.

Hi thrack76

Many Thanks for the reply

I can now set up a playlist and repeat the video continuously, however there is a new problem --- On the first pass the video plays normally but on the second and subsequent passes only the audio track plays and the TV video display remains black. I tried copying the MP4 file on to the SD card and it is still the same

Regards

Bill.

perhaps mplayer would work better ?
Code:
mplayer -fs -loop 0 moo-vee.mkv

Hello Bill.

Do you need sound as well, or will just video be ok?
