You can do some of this with a batch file.

1@if (@CodeSection == @Batch) @then
2@echo off
3    set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0"
4    start chrome /new-window https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Bm8OJFSk0
5        timeout /t 4 /nobreak >nul
6    %SendKeys% "+(.)"
7    %SendKeys% "+(.)"
8    %SendKeys% "+(.)"
9@end
10var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
11WshShell.SendKeys(WScript.Arguments(0));

Line 4 launches the video. The rest of the script is for SendKeys, which is a function built into Windows. In lines 6 to 8 where it says "+(.)" each line is sending "Shift" + "." which increments playback speed.

There is no keyboard command to change YT resolution as far as I know. But you can navigate to it manually... start by hitting Tab about ten times and then Space. You might be able to program the sequence in with SendKeys.

No way to loop with this afaik. That's via a right click menu in the video frame. You may need to look into AutoHotkey to achieve all of this. Or maybe there's a way to do all this with VLC instead of a browser, or another desktop app that plays YT videos.

Please don't ask for any tech support. I just learned all this myself and made a quick mod to someone else's script 😁

Thank you very much. With a little modification, it all worked. But I need a little help. I could get away from using Loop by using a playlist instead. If I put the playlist link into the script, it plays the first video always instead. What to do?

Update: Okay I fixed most of the stuff, by pressing tab on playlist to open the desired video, through the skip. Vogons knows everything 😀

Nice work getting the rest done!
