To repeat a YouTube playlist on an Android TV box, start the playlist, press Down on the remote while a video is playing, then select Repeat until the player shows “Repeat • Playlist.” You can also look for Repeat in the player’s Settings. This works for playlist playback, but YouTube does not specify that playlists of ongoing live streams will advance or loop as reliably as playlists of completed videos.
Turn on playlist repeat in the YouTube TV app
- From the Android TV home screen, open the Apps row and launch YouTube. Menu placement can vary by device, app version, or language.
- Find and select the playlist you want to watch, then start playback.
- While a video is playing, press Down on the remote or game controller to reveal the player controls.
- Select Repeat. If needed, select it again until the control reads “Repeat • Playlist.” YouTube Help also notes that Repeat may be available in the player’s Settings menu. See YouTube’s TV and game-console playlist instructions.
Will a playlist of active live streams loop?
That is not established for every Android TV box. YouTube’s Repeat instructions explain how to loop a playlist, but do not specify how playlists of currently live broadcasts behave. A live stream is a real-time broadcast; if it remains open-ended, playback may not reach an end point that lets the app move to the next item. Treat that as a possibility, not a guaranteed behavior of the Android TV app.
Try the Repeat • Playlist control with your particular box and playlist. If you need predictable cycling, use completed live-stream replays where available. A channel may publish a replay after a broadcast ends, but it is not assured; see YouTube’s guidance on live-stream archives.
Repeat, Autoplay, and DVR are different
- Repeat • Playlist repeats the selected playlist.
- Autoplay can play another related video after the current video ends; it is not the playlist-repeat control. YouTube describes the setting in its Autoplay Help page.
- DVR, when enabled for a live stream, lets viewers pause, rewind, and resume the broadcast. YouTube says DVR may be limited or unavailable on streams longer than 12 hours, and viewers cannot seek to before the stream began. DVR is not a way to restart a stream or loop a playlist. See YouTube’s live-stream DVR guidance.
If the repeat option is missing
- Make sure a playlist is playing, rather than a single video opened outside a playlist.
- Press Down while playback is active to reveal the controls; alternatively, check the player’s Settings menu.
- If the label or control is in a different place, account for differences in device, app version, or locale. YouTube’s help documents the general TV procedure, not a model-by-model compatibility list for third-party Android TV boxes.
- If the playlist contains active streams and does not move to the next item, try a playlist of completed replays instead. The official instructions do not guarantee cycling behavior for ongoing broadcasts.
Or let it run in the cloud
If your goal is to keep your own uploaded video live on YouTube around the clock, rather than watch other channels’ live streams on a TV, StreamNeo is a separate cloud option: upload a recording or build a playlist, add your YouTube stream key once, and go live. It loops uploaded videos from the cloud, so nothing has to stay on at home. Videos stream as uploaded, up to 4K 60fps, at one price per slot; it can automatically recover if YouTube drops the stream. The first day is free with no card, one free day per account. Monthly is $9.99 per month. UPI works for customers in India. Start the free day with StreamNeo.
