Make a YouTube movie loop endlessly.

I try to walk two miles every day, but when the weather outside is frightful I often just pace in my apartment. When I do, I like to zone out to the noise of a music video playing on YouTube in the background. This begs the question, how may I make such a video loop so that I do not have to keep touching my laptop as I pace? The trick is to go to a URL formatted like so:

http://www.youtube.com/v/CHANGEME?version=3&loop=1&playlist=CHANGEME

 
 

The CHANGEME part needs to be... changed out! For example, let's use this URL which contains the best thing I've ever seen on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLvIyme2MU4

 
 

To make this movie loop we take the part of the URL after the equals sign and replace the two CHANGEMEs with it like so:

http://www.youtube.com/v/ZLvIyme2MU4?version=3&loop=1&playlist=ZLvIyme2MU4

 
 

This how-to is stolen outright from this:
