Media Fragments

Video context doesn’t seem to play well with Media Fragments. I am hoping to loop different subsections of a video. But, for example, in the code playground the following doesn’t behave as expected

var videoNode1 = vc.video("../../assets/introductions-rant.mp4#t=1,5", 0, 2, { loop: true });
var videoNode2 = vc.video("../../assets/introductions-rant.mp4#t=4,8", 0, 2, { loop: true });
var videoNode3 = vc.video("../../assets/introductions-rant.mp4#t=9,15", 0, 2, { loop: true });

Also tried

var videoNode1 = vc.video("../../assets/introductions-rant.mp4#t=1,5", 1, 2, { loop: true });
var videoNode2 = vc.video("../../assets/introductions-rant.mp4#t=4,8", 4, 2, { loop: true });
var videoNode3 = vc.video("../../assets/introductions-rant.mp4#t=9,15", 9, 2, { loop: true });

Thanks Pete, that’s great! Certainly covers my use-case. API for custom nodes is an awesome development.

interactive video stuff rather than compositional.

Thats quite a common use for it. I’d like to make videocontext more user friendly for interactive cases.

How to loop video now

We’ve just released an API for custom nodes. So, for now, you could do a basic implementation in your own node.

If this works ^ for you I’ll do the parsing properly and merge it into the actual VideoNode.
