You can make a very simple html page that contains the video and do it there.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Also, often can right click -> loop.
I know how to do this but I was hoping there was some way to build it into the url.
How about JavaScript which writes a simple html page. Any clue how I might go about that?
Javascript is overkill. Open a file on your desktop, name it whatever.html. Open it in notepad, put this in it. Save it, open it in your browser.
Lol I can understand what that does. The reason I am asking about JavaScript is that potentially I can use it like a url.
data:html,
Might work.
Edit: stupid html stripping. Ugh.
data:html,
data:html,
Fine, a paste bin. https://txt.t0.vc/PDIP
Thank you so much!! Data URLs were exactly what I was looking for with a little modification! Apparently chrome doesn't allow looping with audio unless it meets certain strict criteria per google. Here is my final URL:
data:text/html,
Cool. Can't see that data url. Use an image of pastebin like it did.
Ah the preview showed the html so I thought it would work.
Here is a pastebin: https://txt.t0.vc/CLMV
Nice.
When does it delete system32?
It should't matter, it should loop even if it's just the html file locally opened with a browser.
I wrote a quick bookmarklet for you:
javascript: (() => document.querySelectorAll("video").forEach(video => video.loop = true))();
You can paste this into the URL bar (and press Enter to apply) or add it as a bookmark (and apply by clicking on the bookmark), it will make all video elements on the page loop automatically. Caveats:
- It won't work if the video element is in a subframe (shouldn't be the case too often with normal pages)
- Only works for HTML5 video elements
- Custom controls might override the native loop, but they shouldn't
