In all examples i find online adding autoplay muted loop to the video tag is how you loop a video with html? But why does my video only play once?
It does work on chrome
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<video width="320" height="240" autoplay muted loop>
<source src="1.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</body>
</html>

From what I've read and previous experience, the loop attribute is not supported across all browsers. Maybe you could use a bit of JavaScript to force the video to loop. Here is a snippet I found on another question: So this basically listens to the "ended" media event and then resets the video to 0 and forces play again.
Edit: For this to work, you will need to remove the "loop" attribute for the "ended" event to be fired.

window.addEventListener('load', function(){
var newVideo = document.getElementById('videoElementId');
newVideo.addEventListener('ended', function() {
this.currentTime = 0;
this.play();
}, false);
newVideo.play();
});
