Standard player for museums and galleries where I'm from is brightsign. They can do it all. They never stop and starts directly when they get power. But if you're only need loop and no sync or anything more advanced you could use raspberry pi2s and save a lot of money. I use rpi2s for this all the time at work and they have been running for at least 3 months straight without hick ups. If power goes down they will start up again automatic. I use the looper hack describes here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-video-looper/overview You will need some basic Linux skills or be able to follow instructions. I would choose this over a regular pc or Mac everyday. I have used a lot of Mac minis in a museum environment and they always cause me a lot of trouble. The same goes for any player aimed for the living room market. They're not meant to be run for such periods of time and they always seem to show some stupid info screen Wigren looping.
