This extension loops user-specified sections of videos AND audio (enabled in settings). Instead of looping just from the end back to the beginning of the video, you can loop between any two points. Create a gif-like effect just within your browser!

Watching a cooking video/tricky guitar tutorial/play-of-the-game/awesome performance? Use Loop Control to only watch the parts you want.

All HTML5 videos will display a moveable and hideable controller that indicates if loops are currently toggled on or off. Here you can set the start and end times of the sections you want to loop.

You can also manually toggle LoopControl by right-clicking the video and selecting loop.

Default Keybindings (targets the last video controller you interacted with): Q - Set loop start E - Set loop end R - Toggle loop H - Hide controller

Development is focused primarily on Firefox.

• Remember video loop times
• Switch to Manifest v3 once Firefox Stable implements it. Or make separate repo? Chrome Web Store only accept manifest v3.

Huge thanks to Video Speed Controller, the Firefox fork (seemingly abandoned) and the more updated gediminasel fork with a few helpful fixes. The loop UI and settings pages were adapted from these extensions.
