How can I make quicklook loop previewed videos?

Question

When I use Quick Look in the Finder to preview an mp4 I would prefer if the videos looped over and over instead of stopping at the end, because the play back button is really tiny and hard to click. Pressing space twice again works but is terribly jarring. Is there a setting to change the playback behaviour?

Use this flag in terminal, its works with Quicktime app or when selecting multiple video files in Finder

defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGPlayMovieOnOpen 1

to disable replace 1 with 0

This doesn't loop video, it will automatically show subtitles and closed captioning on open.
