'Loop Playback' not working?

Using PD 17 with the latest patch, I've noticed that the 'Loop Playback' functionality in the timeline does not work for me. When I'm in either clip or movie mode, and highlight a portion of the timeline and (making sure that 'Loop Playback' is selected) press play, the player goes through the selection once, and rather than looping back to the beginning, the playback marker stays at the end of the clip and stutters, like it's trying to play the last frame over and over again. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Mine (17.3005) appears to work fine with several different videos. Does yours even work with the sample skateboard clip?

I deleted the sample clips so I don't have those to test against, but I've tried a variety of video files with various formats from different sources, and the result is the same. I still have PD 15 installed on my machine, and the 'Loop Playback' function works without issue for me in that version of PD.

You have to have this option checked in Preferences for Loop Playback to work correctly:



If it's unchecked, you get the behavior you're seeing.

My guess is that's a bug, it shouldn't work like that. That pref option was new at PD16 and I'm guessing was not flushed out with compatibility with other settings. Previously there was no such option and the loop playback worked, I see no logical reason it needs to be on now for loop playback to work, seems like user should have a the choice via the setting.

Sputtering at the clip end obvious of operation not as desired too.
