Feature description

This app has just about everything else, it's great. But for some reason there is no replay/loop button/functionality? Can we just get a simple button below the video that would let it replay videos, such as for listening to music in a car? Thank you.

Why do you want this feature?

So the app is better

Rejected. See: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/6914

However, you can still use this functionality from notification player. Go to Settings>Appearence>Player Notification>4th/ 5th Action Button> Select Repeat

I disable notifications from my apps, so I can't use that feature. Plus it's quite inconvenient to have to drag down the notification bar for such a basic, integral feature. Can we just get a button that's usable when normally using the app?

I disable notifications from my apps

In version 0.20.0, Newpipe's player was rewritten and made wholly dependent on a unified player service, which needs a foreground notification to anchor it in memory.

I don't think we support use cases where notifications for the app are disabled. But I'll let a developer weigh in on this.

I wholeheartedly agree that it doesn't make sense for the looping functionality to be present only in the media notification, not the app itself. It's quite inconvenient. Like I stated in https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/6914#issuecomment-899027896, adding a loop button in the player would be a good idea in my opinion.

Foreground apps work just fine if you disable their notifications ;-)

I agree with Stypox's solution in https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/6914#issuecomment-1190142193.

This is something that should be considered for the rewrite.
