Remove playlist parameter from YouTube URL if it should play in loop
0%
Description
In #78053 a change was introduced in the YouTubeRenderer to always add a playlist if the "loop" option is set.
The reason was, that the playlist parameter was required by YouTube but this is not true actually. It was only required for the deprecated AS3 Flash player.
See https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#loop
Note: This parameter has limited support in the AS3 player and in IFrame embeds, which could load either the AS3 or HTML5 player. Currently, the loop parameter only works in the AS3 player when used in conjunction with the playlist parameter. To loop a single video, set the loop parameter value to 1 and set the playlist parameter value to the same video ID already specified in the Player API URL:
The playlist param must not be set automatically as it does add a playlist to the video which contains the same video 2 times and does not really look good.

Ok lets keep it as it is. YouTube is really not doing what the API says.
The loop does not work if you do only define a video with the loop parameter. You can define no video in the url and the video as playlist but in this case the autoplay does not work. So looks like the current state of youtube is that we have to live with the playlist overlay in the video that contains the same video 2 times
