    I’m using a youtube video as a background video on a colored section. How do I stop it from continually looping. I just want it to play once and stop so I can overlay content over it. What I’m trying to do is to have video run thru once, then stop and I want to overly some text on it. My problem is this seems to be the only way to get the video to be full screen. I’ve tried using different sliders, but I can’t seem to get them to load the video full screen.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi svreatt!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Please edit config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > section.php, find this code on line 489:

    'video_loop' => true,

    Replace it with:

    'video_loop' => false,

    Cheers!

    Thanks,
    That did the trick. It there a way to make the video responsive? That way it alway looks good no matter what size screen or layout. I’m using a 16:9 ratio and it only looks good your browser widow is set that way. That way if someone resizes their window the movie still looks good. Right now it cuts off if you resize the widow to a different ratio.

    Hi!

    Glad the solution worked. Please post the link to the actual page with the video background. We would like to inspect it. The video should be responsive by default.

    Cheers!

    Hey!

    Thank you for the link.

    Please try to add this on Quick CSS or custom.css to adjust the height of the video:

    #top #av_section_1 .av-section-video-bg iframe, #top #av_section_1 .av-section-video-bg embed, #top #av_section_1 .av-section-video-bg object, #top #av_section_1 .av-section-video-bg video {
height: 592px !important;
top: 0;
}

    Cheers!

    Thanks, but that didn’t work. It just made the video one size.

    Hi!

    Thank you for the update.

    Even without the suggested code above, the video is responsive. You need to use media queries in order to control the height of the video on different screen sizes.

    Hi,

    We tested the same video in our installation, modified the section.php file and the loop stopped. Did you modify the section.php file? Please post the FTP details here so that we can check it.

    Hi,

    It’s not working because the section.php file is duplicated. We deleted the section-back.php file then set the “video_loop” parameter to 0.

    Jumping in here if it’s ok. This works but what about for a child theme? I tried to make a copy of the edited sections.php and add it to my child theme files, both in the same folder directory as well as just putting it in the main theme files folder. Neither worked. I change the sections.php according to these directions in the enfold theme, and it works. But, I hate to modify enfold theme files then have them not work correctly when the theme upgrades or have to remember to change this file every upgrade (which I won’t).

    Hi,

    I’m sorry but you won’t be able to override the shortcode file in a child theme. Actually, you can but the workaround is not “update-proof”. More info here: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/add-new-or-replace-advanced-layout-builder-elements-from-child-theme/

    Hello,

    Bringing up an old thread, but I cant find the video_loop function as of 6.1.2018. Is there another section it’s moved to?

    Hi,

    It’s the same section.php file, line 1049.

    'video_loop' => true,

    Hi,

    strange, but true. I did everything as described above, but the video is still looping.
    Embedded a HTML5 Video from the media library, changed the code as described, there is no duplicate section.php there – but still it loops.

    Cheers, Werner
