The site youxube.com is a well-known third-party repeater/looper for YouTube videos (it basically embeds the original YouTube player after replacing "youtube" → "youxube" in the URL). It's designed exactly for endless looping / repeating — which means autoplay is intentionally built-in behavior on that site (especially when coming from a playlist-style repeat or when the video ends).

Since you're stuck on a webOS TV browser (which is very limited — tiny memory, crippled JavaScript support, no extensions, no dev tools, ancient WebKit engine in most models), normal solutions are hard. You've already ruled out the usual &autoplay=0 (which youxube.com ignores anyway because it's coded to override it for looping purposes).

Here are the realistic things you can still try right at the start of playback, ranked from most likely to work to least:

1. Immediately pause + replay trick (most reliable low-tech workaround)
   • As soon as the video starts playing (0–3 seconds in), press pause on your remote.
   • Wait 1–2 seconds.
   • Press play again.
   • On many embedded players (including youxube's), this often cancels the next-video autoplay trigger for that session. You may need to repeat this every time a video ends, but it's usually faster than hunting for a non-existent toggle.
2. Add &loop=0 or &playlist= to break repeat mode
   • Try manually editing the URL right after loading but before it starts playing (if the browser lets you):
     text

     Copy

     https://youxube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&loop=0
     or
     text

     Copy

     https://youxube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&playlist=VIDEO_ID&loop=0
   • The real YouTube player sometimes respects &loop=0 even when &autoplay=1 is present. youxube.com passes most parameters through, so there's a chance.
3. Force single-video context (breaks playlist-style repeat)
   • If you're currently on a youxube.com page that looks like it's repeating a playlist or auto-advancing, try this URL format instead:
     text

     Copy

     https://youxube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&list=VIDEO_ID
     (using the same video ID for both v= and list=). This tricks many embed/repeat sites into treating it as a "single video" rather than a looping playlist.
4. Very quick mute + pause spam at start
   • Mute volume → pause → wait 2–3 s → play → unmute.
   • Some poorly coded autoplay-next systems get "confused" by rapid user interaction in the first few seconds and disable themselves for the remainder of the tab/session.
5. If nothing else works — accept manual restart
   • Unfortunately on webOS's terrible browser you're probably stuck doing one of the above every time (or just pressing the replay button / << button when it ends).
   • youxube.com has no settings / no toggle visible on purpose — the whole point of the site is to force repeat.

If none of these interrupt the autoplay reliably, it's almost certainly baked into how youxube.com initializes the player on that specific browser/engine. In that case, the only clean solutions would be:

• Use a different device (phone/tablet casting to TV, etc.)
• Or switch to real youtube.com (which does respect &autoplay=0 or the gear icon setting, even on webOS — although the UI is still bad).

Let me know exactly what the URL looks like when autoplay happens (single video repeat or moving to next in list?), and I can try to narrow it further.

The core issue is that youxube.com is deliberately built as an infinite loop / repeater tool — its entire point is to override YouTube's normal behavior and force the video (or playlist) to restart automatically when it ends. From the site's own description and behavior:

• It forces endless replay by design (autoplay-next is always on, no toggle exists).
• Standard YouTube player parameters like &autoplay=0, &loop=0, or even &playlist=...&loop=0 are either ignored, stripped, or overridden in their embedded player setup.
• The /list?playlist=... path (or similar playlist modes) is specifically meant to cycle through the list forever, starting the first video immediately.

Since there's no visible toggle, gear icon, or settings menu for disabling this on the site (confirmed by its front page/UI description), and the webOS TV browser can't run extensions/userscripts or dev tools to inject JS/CSS, you're very limited.

Realistic options that might still interrupt the auto-restart (in order of likelihood on a crippled browser)

1. Ultra-fast pause right at load/start (best shot on webOS)
   • As soon as the page loads and the video begins (often 1–3 seconds), mash the pause button on your remote repeatedly (or hold it briefly).
   • Then immediately press play once.
   • Why this sometimes works: Many lazy embed implementations (including some YouTube repeater clones) tie the "auto-replay/next" logic to the natural "ended" event. A very early user-initiated pause/play can prevent the loop handler from attaching properly for that session.
   • On webOS remote, try doing this within the first 2–4 seconds every single time. It's annoying but often the only thing that sticks without JS hacks.
2. Force single-video non-loop mode by changing URL pattern
   • Instead of using /list?playlist=... (which screams "loop this list forever"), try forcing it to treat the URL as a plain single video:
     text

     Copy

     https://youxube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
     (drop any playlist/list/loop params entirely)
   • Or add explicit single-video flags that might leak through:
     text

     Copy

     https://youxube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&loop=0&disablekb=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&autohide=1
   • Some repeaters ignore unknown/extra params but respect loop=0 when there's no playlist context. Test right after loading — if it still loops, this path is hard-coded.
3. Playlist → single trick (if you must start from a playlist URL)
   • Take your playlist ID, but set both v= and list= to the exact same video ID you want to play (not the playlist ID):
     text

     Copy

     https://youxube.com/watch?v=ABC123&list=ABC123
   • This confuses many playlist-loop scripts into single-video mode (no next-item logic).
4. Last-ditch spam at video end
   • When the video finishes and is about to restart:
     • Immediately press pause → wait 1 sec → rewind (<<) to 0:00 → play.
   • Or just hit the replay/restart button if your remote/TV has one visible during playback.
   • This is manual but avoids the auto-next.

Unfortunately, if none of these interrupt the restart reliably, it's because youxube.com hard-codes the loop behavior at the player init level (likely via playerVars or event listeners that ignore loop:0). On real YouTube you can turn autoplay off in the gear menu or via &autoplay=0, but youxube exists specifically to prevent that.

If even the early-pause trick fails consistently, the cleanest workaround is probably avoiding youxube.com entirely when you don't want endless repeat:

• Use normal youtube.com (or m.youtube.com) — webOS browser usually loads it, and autoplay can be toggled in the player settings gear (even if clunky).
• Or use your phone → cast to TV (YouTube app respects autoplay off much better).

Let me know if the URL is /watch?... or always /list?..., and whether it's a single video that loops itself or actually advances to the next track in a playlist — that can change which trick has the best chance.

Here are as many realistic alternatives to youxube.com (a simple YouTube URL replacer for endless looping) as possible, based on what's currently active and mentioned in 2025–2026 sources. I've focused on web-based tools (since you're on a limited webOS TV browser), prioritizing ones that are likely lighter, with no/minimal ads, no heavy popups, and no mandatory cookie consents (many just use basic player embeds without nagging banners).

I've split them into two categories: dedicated loopers/repeaters (closest to youxube's infinite repeat behavior) and non-loopers (privacy-focused YouTube frontends or viewers that often let you control repeat via player settings or URL tricks, and tend to avoid ads/crap entirely). Note that on a terrible browser, the simplest embed-style ones (paste URL → play → loop) will probably work best — avoid anything requiring accounts, heavy JS, or uploads.

Dedicated YouTube Loopers / Repeaters (Infinite or AB Loop Focus)

These are designed for repeating videos (full or sections) without much extra junk. Many claim "no ads" in the player or minimal interface.

• looptube.io — Paste YouTube URL → infinite loop or AB sections. Frequently listed as top/free in 2025–2026 roundups; simple interface, no signup, likely low popup risk.
• infinitelooper.tube — Advanced free looper (AB points, speed control, shareable loops). Explicitly advertises "no video ads" in the player; positioned as a better LoopTube alternative.
• youtube-repeater.com — A-B repeats, save history/loops (sync optional). Modern, focused on easy repeating; minimal extras.
• loopvideo.io — Precise segment looping, speed control, favorites. Free/no signup, uses YouTube API directly.
• yout-ube.com — Special one: Change "youtube.com" → "yout-ube.com" in any URL (adds a dash). Forces ad-free + auto-repeat/fullscreen. Very lightweight hack-style like youxube; great for no ads + forced loop.
• listenonrepeat.com (or listenonrepeat variant) — Classic repeater with counter; often low-ad via URL replace ("repeat" in domain).
• infinitelooper.com (older variant) — Similar URL tricks; still referenced in lists.

Others from lists (test if they load light): VEED.io loop tool, Kapwing loop, Flixier YouTube looper, Clideo loop-video, Media.io looper, Echowave loop. These are more "upload/paste → process → download looped version" but some support direct YouTube paste + preview loop; they may have more UI but often ad-light for basic use.

Non-Loopers / Privacy-Focused YouTube Frontends (Ad-Free Viewers)

These proxy YouTube without Google's tracking/ads. Autoplay-next can usually be disabled in player settings (gear icon) or by avoiding playlists. They're ad-free by design, no cookie popups (or very minimal), and lighter than official YouTube on bad browsers. Many instances exist — pick a fast one from lists like privacyguides.org.

• Piped (piped.video or find instances) — Clean, no ads/tracking. Player often has repeat/loop toggle; very reliable in 2026 per user reports.
• Invidious (various instances like yewtu.be, invidious.io) — Old-school but still kicking in forks/variants. No ads, proxy mode hides direct YouTube connection; loop via player or URL params.
• Materialious or similar Invidious forks — Modern UI on Invidious backend; mentioned as looking great (though sometimes slower).
• FreeTube (but it's a desktop app — skip if no install; some web mentions but not pure browser).
• LibreTube / PipePipe / NewPipe forks — Mostly Android, but some have web views; focus on no ads/privacy.

On terrible browsers, stick to Piped or Invidious instances (search "working Invidious instances 2026" if one dies — they rotate). Add &loop=1 or check player for repeat if needed (not always forced like youxube).

Quick Tips for Your Setup

• URL hacks (like youxube) are lightest: Try the yout-ube.com dash trick first — it's ad-free + auto-repeat by design.
• Test early pause/play spam as before if any still auto-advance unwanted.
• Avoid anything upload-heavy (Clideo/VEED/Kapwing) if browser chokes — they might load slower.
• For non-loopers, disable "autoplay" in the embedded player gear (most respect it).

If a specific one doesn't load or has popups, drop the name/URL — I can dig deeper. These should give you plenty to cycle through since frontends/instances shift often.
