Problem when attempting to loop AVPlayer (userCapturedVideo) seamlessly

I have been looking around for a while on how to correctly accomplish this. I have looked here and here. And have used teh top answer here, to try adn accomplish this however for me teh recorded video does not ever even begin to loop. The first frame shows up but does not play the video, thus I am wondering whats wrong.

func fileOutput(_ output: AVCaptureFileOutput, didFinishRecordingTo outputFileURL: URL, from connections: [AVCaptureConnection], error: Error?) {
    if (error != nil) {
        print("Error recording movie11: \(error!.localizedDescription)")
    } else {
        isSettingThumbnail = false

        let videoRecorded = outputURL! as URL
        playRecordedVideo(video: videoRecorded)

        if !captureSession.isRunning {
            DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
                self.startRunningCaptureSession()
            }
        }
    }
}

The function used in the above method is bellow.

    func playRecordedVideo(video: URL) {
    thumbImage = nil
    playerQueue = AVQueuePlayer(playerItem: AVPlayerItem(url: video))

    playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: playerQueue)
    playerLayer.frame = (camBaseLayer?.bounds)!
    playerLayer?.layoutIfNeeded()
    playerLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravity.resizeAspectFill
    playerLayer.isHidden = false

    camBaseLayer?.layer.insertSublayer(playerLayer, above: previewLayer)

    playerItem1 = AVPlayerItem(url: video)

    playerLooper = AVPlayerLooper(player: playerQueue, templateItem: playerItem1)
    self.playerQueue?.play()
}

I have attempted the following in the function above:

        var num = 0
    if num == 0 {
        self.playerQueue?.play()
        num+=1
    } else {
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: self.playerQueue.currentItem, queue: nil, using: { (_) in
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                self.playerQueue.seek(to: CMTime.zero)
                self.playerQueue.play()
            }
        })

    }

This however just causes the video to not even play when it comes up.

The goal is to prevent the "gap" you see when the video is looped

Update:

With teh edits I made ubove it seems that the code works correctly and I am currently testing to see if I can see the blip or not.
