Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #45,023

Yes having a playlist for every song you might at one point want to listen to on repeat is a grate solution

just add the word repeater to the video URL (after youtube) and press enter

your video is on a loop is on a loop is on a loop is on a loop
your video is on a loop is on a loop is on a loop is on a loop

that's the thing though, you wouldn't think people would want to have to use a different site just to repeat a song, what is so hard about just putting a button on it?

Every competent digital music player ever has a repeat button. Also I am aware of those sites, it's just inconvenient.

It would make things too easy. They don't want you using YouTube to listen to music long-term. They want you to buy the song.

I think OP means an auto-repeat toggle button.

brie !uXWPG0MygI replied with this 11 years ago, 3 minutes later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #594,553

@previous (H)
Why would you need to toggle that?

If you want it auto-repeating type repeater in the URL
if you dont then Press F5

or

write a macro that presses F5 for you after four minutes twenty seconds?

I used my F5 for this link - the reporter shooting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAH6SACn9lE

Odd how it looks like Youtube cannot make up their mind. On attempt to repeat the taken down image came up - then I got it to repeat but instead of F5 used backspace which pulled up the cache - then the video came back with and finished and then moved on to the next Youtube.

Youtube much like its parents Google attempt to keep stuff/features on page to a minimum - you can always add stuff on URL to get loops etc.

I don't understand why everyone is against this. Pretty much every dedicated music player I have ever used has a repeat button.

why do those youtube fuckers not have a repeat button but instead let shitheads upload videos that are 12 or 20 continuous hours of some fuckin' thing

you might as well repeat it manually if you wanted to do that, plus it's quicker because it doesn't have to load

Because that's bad UXP - all those options require additional effort on the part of the user. Clicking one toggle button is minimal effort.

Imagine if VLC required its users to manually repeat or write their own macro if they want a repeat feature.
