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.

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.
