OK, I compiled both the official repo master branch and FernetMenta's repo's master branch.
The official branch has the black flash with stutter when the video rewinds.
FernetMenta's variant doesn't seem to have the black flash (though it did occur once or twice - I tried more than 10x), and there is a stutter when the video rewinds.
I tried the looping with playlist setting "Repeat One".
The OS is Linux Mint 17.2, on a Lenovo laptop with nVidia drivers.
The video file is h.264 in mp4 container.
I also converted the video to huffyuv in AVI with avconv and it lessened the stuttering a tiny bit (I guess because of that's an intra-only codec, so less spin-up time), but it was still very noticable.
I also tried disabling vdpau and vaapi, the effects are the same.
