Description

Only supports normal looping and logs a warning if you try to set palindrome looping:

https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/5c463da6781a939dc595360a50965152dd42d50e/libs/openFrameworks/video/ofAVFoundationPlayer.mm#L325-L327

Seems like a core feature to not support...should this be milestoned to 0.9? I don't see any team names for video so I'll mention @prisonerjohn @obviousjim :)

Research direction

Start at libs/openFrameworks/video/ofAVFoundationPlayer.mm around lines 325-327, where palindrome looping is reported as unsupported. Trace how OF_LOOP_PALINDROME is handled and compare it with normal looping. Done means the AVFoundation player supports palindrome looping without issuing the current warning.
