Youtube video loop hack (javascript)

Written by

Sometimes i want to listen to music from Youtube over and over, but i don’t like to hit play every time. As Youtube player don’t have the repeat button, i wrote an script to do it for me.

Just copy and paste the following code on your browser’s address bar (you can create a bookmark with this code).

~~javascript:swfUrl=%22/v/%22+swfArgs.video_id +%22&autoplay=1&loop=1%22;writeMoviePlayer(%22playerDiv%22, true);void(null);~~

[20080416 15h30] update
Youtube crew has recently modified the name of the video div container. Now it is working again (you can create a bookmark with this code).
javascript:swfUrl=%22/v/%22+swfArgs.video_id +%22&autoplay=1&loop=1%22;writeMoviePlayer(%22watch-player-div%22, true);void(null);

How do you use this code? Is the java script inserted at the end of the youtube url address? Thanks for any feedback.
