Background Plugin
This is a special video plugin that plays a video in an endless loop. The plugin can be used with version 0.1.74 or higher.
Usage[edit]
The plugin must be loaded with a video URL. Please see following action syntax example.
If you would like to use the plugin as reference to implement your own plugin, please have a look at this implementation script: http://msx.benzac.de/plugins/js/background.js.

Example[edit]
Please note that this example uses some properties that are only available in version 0.1.142 or higher. Please also note that the wrapper service (http://msx.benzac.de/services/background.php) is not part of the plugin. It is only used to return a background plugin action if no other video/audio is running.
