[Feature] Repeat/loop option

FEATURE REQUEST: Repeating videos

Please confirm whether you've tried the following debugging steps:

N/A

Description of the Problem

• We use cytube to manage music playlists for tabletop RPG sessions
• Often, songs/videos are too short that the DM must either interrupt themselves to restart tracks or queue up several instances
• A repeat option to repeat the currently playing track does not, on surface level, sound like a major addition but would be very useful for usecases like ours

If you uncheck "Add as temporary" when adding a video, or if you later click the "make permanent" button, the video will not be removed from the playlist after playing, and the playlist will loop. Is that what you meant?

[vrchmvgx]

Ah, no, we do that. I'm referring more to, when having a playlist of multiple tracks, having the ability to "repeat one", that is, when video 5 ends, set the next video to 5 again if the loop button is on.

(I am extremely not good at JS, and don't know your codebase, but in essence I'm suggesting/requesting a toggle between next_video_index = current_video_index + 1 % list_length and next_video_index = current_video_index)

E:

sync/src/channel/playlist.js

Line 1186 in 8562b21

var next = this.current.next || this.items.first;

So basically, the result if repeat/loop is on would be just calling this.startPlayback() without any changes to this.current.
