YouTube Looper Extension

Use this plugin to loop in sections of Youtube videos!

This is a great tool to help you do music training, or any kind of thing you can leverage repetition on video sections!

Features
- create multiple loops so you can train sections with ease
- your loops are locally stored, when you get back to your videos your loops will still be there
- set a custom playback rate (you can use very precise rates as 0.7 0.85 so you can train on your speed)
- automatically generate loops for videos that have markers
- quickly navigate to recent videos you looped at using the popup window
- Manage, export / import and sync loops between different devices using the dashboard page

Pro tips:
- Hold shift key to adjust time in steps of 100ms instead of 1 second.
- Hold shift and click on play to start loop 3 seconds before the loop time.
- Click on the Speed label to reset speed to 100%
- Click on the time numbers to edit via text (for very precise editing)
- If you end a loop before the start, it will flip start/end automatically (actually, that happens if try to make the start to go after the finish in any editing way possible).

saitama (ID: 0000004bacbec438) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/17/2023 This looper helped me loop songs I wanted to listen to.

Erudite Birdy (ID: 0000004d7ede4abd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/25/2023 ‷̵𐑱₍̗ᵔᕑ₎̖𐑲  At last, a perfect looper for my needs on Youtube! The Best Features: The icon is on the video control bar, so the ellipsis (…) doesn’t go missing anymore. The ellipsis got crowded/pushed out on many videos by other app logos that appear in the like-dislike line of icons. You click to set the start and stop times, BUT after you create a loop like that, you can click on the start and end times and manually change the time. This works much better and faster for me.

Hope Zimmerman (ID: 0000002b0aecad88) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/25/2023 It's a fantastic tool, the fact you can get down to the millisecond is really impressive. For a musician and the like I have zero doubt that this is the best looper extension on the market. For my purpose, just an average viewer, it's a bit overkill and takes just a little bit more work to get set up if all you want is to loop, say, a music video or the like and cut out all the non-music stuff at the end and any they may have at the beginning. For that Looper for Youtube works better, however, that extension has an issue where it causes the ". . ." menu button to the right of the like, dislike, etc buttons to just disappear. Without that button you can't add to playlist, view transcriptions, or even report the video. So that extension, while better and simpler for my use, simply isn't acceptable. This one, however is so well made, it's so unobtrusive, and it doesn't make the ". . ." menu button go away. It works amazingly well and the person or people that coded this really should be proud of the work they've done. It's too much for what I want, but it still lets me do what I want without issue so I can't complain. Musicians and the like will absolutely *love* how much more feature rich this extension is and how it's still pretty easy to use.
