How to Get the Action Replay to Play YouTube Videos

You can forget about the 'Play' button when videos replay continuously. "Action Replay," Datel's video-game cheat device, isn't designed to play YouTube videos or repeat them, but you don't need a device for that: With a direct visit to YouTube, you can make that special video play over and over again. YouTube.com supports more than 20 special URL action codes that allow you to control the way your videos play. Simply plug the right URL code into your browser's address box to enjoy YouTube videos and songs that replay one more time.

Difficulty:Moderately Easy1

Navigate to YouTube and double-click a video link to play the video. When the video begins to play, click the video player's "Stop" button to stop playback.

2

Locate the address bar at the top of your browser. It contains the URL of the video you're watching. The URL looks similar to the sample shown below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWmETxWM1h2.

Changing parts of this URL will cause a video to replay when it reaches its end.

3

Replace the "watch?v=" portion of the URL with the following text:

v/

The sample URL looks like this after replacing its text:

http://www.youtube.com/v/KWmETxWM1h2

4

Add the following text to the end of the URL string:

&loop=1

This is the YouTube loop parameter that makes videos repeat. The example shown previously appears as shown below after changing its text as described:

http://www.youtube.com/v/KWmETxWM1h2&loop=1

5

Press "Enter." YouTube plays the video. When the video ends, it repeats.

To save YouTube URLs that repeat, copy a URL after you modify it and save it in a document. You can then copy that URL and paste it into your browser whenever you're in the mood to watch or listen to a YouTube video repeatedly. Alternately, install Auto Replay add-ons for browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, as well as downloadable third-party applications for replaying both mp3s and video files.
