Find out which player is repeating, then turn off its matching Loop control. vMix List and vMix PlayList are separate features; YouTube also has separate controls for repeating one video and looping an entire playlist.
First identify what is playing the video
The word “playlist” can refer to a vMix List input, vMix’s separate PlayList feature, or a playlist in YouTube’s own player. The fix depends on which one controls playback.

- vMix List: a list of media entries managed within vMix.
- vMix PlayList: an ordered sequence of vMix inputs.
- YouTube playlist: videos playing in YouTube’s player.
Stop a vMix List input from looping
- Open the List input’s editing controls.
- Check its Loop setting. In vMix List, Loop starts the list again from the beginning when it reaches the end. Turn it off if you want playback to stop at the end. vMix List help (version 26).
- Review the entries and their order. Check whether the same video is listed more than once, whether another entry is disabled, or whether the list contains only that one video.
- Check Auto Next if the issue is that playback does not advance automatically; vMix documents it as enabled by default. Randomise changes the order, but does not remove duplicate entries.
- Retest from the start and note whether the video restarts before the next entry or the list restarts only after reaching its end.
vMix’s knowledge-base article, last updated January 17, 2025, says List can play videos back to back in a loop and that randomization is available. It also notes that List does not require all videos to be loaded at once, which can consume system resources. vMix: Does vMix support scheduling?

Stop a vMix PlayList from restarting
- Open the PlayList window with the cog button next to PlayList.
- Inspect the ordered inputs and check the Loop control. vMix defines it as: “Start PlayList from the beginning again when completed.” Turn it off if the sequence should stop at its end. vMix PlayList help (version 23).
- If one item appears to restart during the sequence, inspect that item’s starting position and duration, along with the sequence’s transitions and transition durations. These settings can affect when an item appears to end or restart.
- Retest from the beginning of the sequence to confirm whether the whole PlayList stops at its end.
Stop a YouTube video or playlist from repeating
With a video in the playlist playing, expand the playlist box. YouTube’s desktop help places the playlist Loop control beside the video in this expanded box. Turn Loop off to stop the whole playlist cycling. If the Loop icon shows a 1 in its center, the current video is repeating; use the Loop control again to leave that single-video repeat state. The exact layout can differ on phones, TVs and consoles. YouTube Help: Loop videos or playlists.

Check Autoplay only if a different video starts
Autoplay plays another related video after the current video ends; it is not the control for repeating the same video. YouTube’s Autoplay setting can differ by device. If an unexpected different video starts, check Autoplay rather than the repeat control. YouTube Help: Autoplay videos.
If the video still repeats
- The same file appears twice: remove or disable the duplicate entry in the vMix List or inspect the ordered inputs in PlayList.
- One item restarts before the sequence advances: check that item’s playback position and duration in vMix, or check YouTube’s single-video repeat state.
- The entire sequence starts again after its last entry: turn off Loop in the vMix feature that is playing it, or turn off YouTube playlist Loop.
- A different video starts after playback ends: check YouTube Autoplay; it selects another related video rather than repeating the current item.
After changing the relevant setting, restart the sequence from its beginning. That makes it easier to distinguish a duplicate entry from a single-item repeat or a full-sequence loop.
