Smart tv Vizio Best way to continuously stream a YouTube video without it ending

[spaceman]

So we’ve been replacing aquariums at my work with 4k sets that I stream aquarium/fish footage, I’m looking for the easiest way to loop this footage on a Vizio 4k set perpetually. TiA

Looping video sounds boring after awhile to me. What about some of those "ultra-realistic" Aquarium Screen-Savers that were all the rage 5-7 years ago. They must still be around; maybe you can get them with Ray-Tracing now too.

It’s for a memory care wing so it’s more just having something on the screen

If you have a PC hooked to the TV, you can use VLC to loop the playlist indefinitely.

Does the set have a built-in app to play video? I mean I'd expect it does, and doesn't it have a loop mode? If not, maybe add an app with loop mode?

On mine, the loop mode is not seamless, there's maybe a couple seconds delay, but that might be acceptable if you create a video file where it is already looping for hours (same footage repeating within the single video file you create) then when the TV reaches end of file, there is only that short hesitation till it loops, starts back at the beginning of the file and plays for hours through the file again.

If that seems viable, then need to find what the video playback limitations of the TV are, for example max file size, or size of USB flash drive to store it so no need to stream from a host, instead TV is independent and reading from its own USB port.

If worried about someone stealing the USB flash drive, then I'd just get a few cheap ones. A multi-pack of 32GB are around $5 per.
