Playlist loop bug: automatically turns on loop.

[Amazer526]

Bug Report:

⚬ BUG: It always automatically turns on loop at the end of the third video in any playlist.

⚬ HOW: Even if I manually turn it off, it activates again after the third video ends. "Player > Repeat > Always Activate" is turned off, as are all loop-related settings in YouTube. Removing the extension resolves the issue.

⚬ EXPECTED (/preferred) behavior: Solve the bug

⚬ Screenshots:

thank you! @Amazer526

[ImprovedTube]

can you try to disable the "playlist_repeat":true" feature? @Amazer526

Our code for playlist repeat & shuffle both needs to be rewritten.

sometimes, when SVG pathes change, and there seem to be are no destinct IDs or classes, we could check the labels as a backup.
So im curious how you got the full-screen label in all languages @Lauviah0622 (not at all urgent, just looking forward)

[Lauviah0622]

The trick how I captured the full screen button just get the className, and there has the attribute "data-title-no-tooltip" display the full-screen label.

For capture of the loop from the list, it seems doesn't work. Another chance is we can capture the tooltip content from the HTML element and prevent the failure from the official SVG changes (locales may be more permanent than UI)

there are three state in English's locale

• Turn off loop
• Loop playlist
• Loop video

But sadly it need a lot's of work to implement in different language, the tooltip's text it's all different 😭

@ImprovedTube I'm not an expert in code, but disabling the "playlist_repeat:true" feature fixed the issue. I'm still confused, though, because I thought that feature was supposed to loop the whole playlist, not just the end of the third video. Thanks for your help!

[ImprovedTube]

Thanks @Amazer526 , yes! you couldn't know, will fix the feature!

[ImprovedTube]

if you like, please try if the repeat playlist feature works again @Amazer526
