From what I recall (flew a CO 762 between EWR-LAX-EWR in 2004) it was looped. Programs had countdown screens as to when you could join in and watch a movie. I believe there pause, FWD, RWD functionality, but only for a selected batch of movies that you tuned into. I can't confirm what functionality they had since it was 10+ years ago.
Here's the CO AVOD system on the 752 in 2007 - notice the barcalounger BF on the 752!
I think this may have been one of the first 752s with AVOD.

I think AVOD went into the pmCO 752s and 777s during a typically lengthy upgrade starting in 2008 and not completing until 2012. The 764 didn't get AVOD until they were reconfigured with lie flat in 2012? I think.
