So if I have lorenipsum.com/test.mp4, can I modify it like so: lorenipsum.com/test.mp4?&loop=1 or some other append to make it loop?
You can make a very simple html page that contains the video and do it there.

Assuming you can host html somewhere.
Also, often can right click -> loop.
I know how to do this but I was hoping there was some way to build it into the url.
How about JavaScript which writes a simple html page. Any clue how I might go about that?
Javascript is overkill. Open a file on your desktop, name it whatever.html. Open it in notepad, put this in it. Save it, open it in your browser.
Lol I can understand what that does. The reason I am asking about JavaScript is that potentially I can use it like a url.
data:html,
Might work.
Edit: stupid html stripping. Ugh.
data:html,
data:html,
Fine, a paste bin. https://txt.t0.vc/PDIP
Thank you so much!! Data URLs were exactly what I was looking for with a little modification! Apparently chrome doesn’t allow looping with audio unless it meets certain strict criteria per google. Here is my final URL:
data:text/html,
Cool. Can’t see that data url. Use an image of pastebin like it did.
When does it delete system32?
It should’t matter, it should loop even if it’s just the html file locally opened with a browser.
I wrote a quick bookmarklet for you:
javascript: (() => document.querySelectorAll("video").forEach(video => video.loop = true))();
You can paste this into the URL bar (and press Enter to apply) or add it as a bookmark (and apply by clicking on the bookmark), it will make all video elements on the page loop automatically. Caveats:
- It won’t work if the video element is in a subframe (shouldn’t be the case too often with normal pages)
- Only works for HTML5 video elements
- Custom controls might override the native loop, but they shouldn’t
