html video background not looping

Question

My video bg is setup like this:

   <video autoplay loop poster id="bgvid" class="hidden-xs">
      <source src="bg.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  </video>

The bg.mp4 is about 1 minute long. On localhost, it freezes in the same spot everytime. Is this because of video length, or an error in my syntax?

Thanks!

what browser are you using? if chrome, see this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8088364/html5-video-will-not-loop/9549404#9549404 see also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10377453/play-infinitely-looping-video-on-load-in-html5 — Patrick Schaefer, Feb 22 '16 at 22:34
Could it have to do with having no value for the poster attribute? — Richard Hamilton, Feb 22 '16 at 22:35

Have you checked if the video is corrupted?

I would suggest seeing if your video is corrupt first.
