//Pretty much finished this script: I'm not going to touch it anymore now that it works perfectly. Any design choices is up to the user within the CSS area below.
//I did however just fix a minor bug with the loop button going over top of search bar. Was a bitch to do and I had to add in another mutationobserver because fuck how CSS z-index works. Apparently just making the searchbar have a higher z-index then the button wouldn't work.
//append some CSS to the header with the += hack. You can write it like CSS and HTML between ``
document.querySelector('head').insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', `<style>
.loopBtns{
position: fixed;
z-index: 5;
top: 20px;
left: 130px;
font-weight: 900;
color: silver;
}
</style>`
);
//declare some variables and create some elements
let loopBtn = document.createElement("BUTTON");
let unLoopBtn = document.createElement("BUTTON");
let appendTo = document.querySelector('body'); //Whatever you want to append to. I had to change it to body because the entire SPA kept re-rendering after every miniscule change. That's why I just made it fixed overtop the navbar. Thanks frameworks.
let url = location.href;
//detect if entry point is NOT m.youtube.com/watch
if(window.location.href.split('/')[3].substring(0, 5) !== "watch"){
unLoopBtn.style.display = "none";
loopBtn.style.display = "none";
}
loopBtn.innerHTML = "Loop";
unLoopBtn.innerHTML = "Unloop";
loopBtn.className = "loopBtns";
unLoopBtn.className = "loopBtns";
//make unloop class hidden, we'll unhide it and hide loop after loop is pressed and visa versa
unLoopBtn.style.display = "none";
appendTo.appendChild(loopBtn);
appendTo.appendChild(unLoopBtn);
//add some event listeners to make the video loop, hide the loop button/unloop button
loopBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
document.querySelector('.html5-main-video').loop = true; //I originally had a video variable and was doing video.loop, but it was causing problems if you entered through anything other than the /watch url because there wouldn't be a video to assign to that variable. So don't change this querySelector.

});
unLoopBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
document.querySelector('.html5-main-video').loop = false;

//last, listen for the video source to change and change loop button to it's off state. I practically copied this from Mozilla's mutationObserver page and changed it to only look for if the video source changes.

What are the chances someone is actually going to be watching mobile youtube on their desktop in an ancient version of internet explorer anyways? At this point fuck devving for everyone, update your browser boomer.
