[$50 BOUNTY] Loop isn't smooth

[marioortizmanero]

The loop in iOS isn't smooth - it lags for a split second before it continues the next playback. This doesn't happen on Android when you compare it side to side:

IMG_0053.MOV

Note that this happens always (the video I'm using is already a loop). I've also had reports of this happening on Android but I don't have a recording of it.

Adding a bounty of $50 to whoever can help out :)

[kdroidFilter]

Yes, it's a very annoying bug — I'll see what I can do about it tomorrow.

[marioortizmanero]

@kdroidFilter did you make any progress? I'm seeing it a lot so I'm happy to provide any debugging information you might need

[marioortizmanero]

@kdroidFilter just checking in - if you don't have the time to fix this I could give it a try myself. Would you be able to share some pointers?

hey

is there a chance that you can put

_flows instead of floating?

flows

something like swimming but without arms and legs moveing

like fish flows

doesnt swim

so float you gave 16-9

mahbe with flow you can give maybe 1.1 minutes for each minute

flow smoother imo than float

To avoid any ambiguity, here are suggested acceptance criteria for the $50 bounty:

1. Repro: Use the repo demo/sample with the same loopable video on iOS.
2. Fixed: iOS loop playback has no visible pause/freeze/black frame/stutter at the loop boundary (perceptually continuous).
3. Non-regression: No crashes; Android playback is not degraded.
4. Proof: PR includes short iOS before/after video + 3–5 test steps.
5. Done: Bounty is considered completed when the PR is merged, and you confirm “Accepted/Verified on iOS”.

Also, can you confirm the $50 is paid in USD and the payment method (PayPal/Wise/etc) after the merge?

[marioortizmanero]

Hi @Teodor82 that sounds right! I can give it a try after you're done to see if we still have the issue. Happy to pay in USD/EUR/CHF through your preferred method

[Teodor82]

Perfect, thanks!

I’ll work on a fix for the loop stutter and provide a small PR with:
– the code change
– a brief explanation of the approach
– steps to verify the fix

Once it’s ready, I’ll ping you here so you can test it on your side.

For payment, EUR via PayPal works great for me.

I've left an update in #164 - this PR didn't help, unfortunately
