Hi. Can you be so kind to explain me what variables should be changed in the code to make it work for me? Which parts?
When I try to execute it, returns only echo and nothing happens

Thanks a lot! @coderofsalvation

I directly copied your code from above, making sure that I run it in the folder with the video, and with the video name called input.mp4:

im getting a freeze for fade seconds at the end of the video (if i do not provide looptimes), and also between every loop when i do provide looptimes. any idea how i can fix this?

this is my ffmpeg version

EDIT: i think this is because im using a file with two streams. removing the audio stream fixes the problem. would be great if we can detect and handle such files in the script
