Help! I need to figure out a way to loop surf videos/movies on the company's Apple TV. I tried googling for a solution and didn't come across one. I'm looking for any solution! I'm open to purchasing videos through itunes or purchasing movies. Is there an app I can download that will complete the task? I really need to find a way to loop them all day long. Simply air-playing the videos from a laptop is not an option.

The scope of this forum doesn’t really cover going in detail about how to download video files from the web. There are stock sites, there are 3rd party tools. The specific video that you may have in mind, may not be available to you, though. You have to chose from what is offered. Also note that some videos may have restrictions about playback on event venues. The tools for the looped playback may require non-DRM content.
The Loopideo app and AirPlay may help looped playback, if you get video files into your iOS Camera Roll (videos in the Photo Library) or on Dropbox.
Looper is somewhat similar, for selections from iOS Camera Roll (Photo Library) or the Home Videos Library.
There may be other apps as well.
VLC on tvOS allows playback from a SMB-networked device, including repeating a folder of video files.
If you want to manipulate the playback, differently from default, then you will need access to the video files. If you have the video files, then you can create a playlist to loop. Some TV channel with content is of no use here.
Rn I'm using a surfing channel off of the TV itself - the content is not censored so I have to find another way of streaming surfing videos on loop. I checked out the youtube app on apple tv but I couldn't find a way to loop the videos. I'm open to purchasing movies/itunes videos but I want to make sure I can loop them before I make any purchases!
So where are these videos streaming from, if not AirPlay?
Which I am aware of but how do I access a video file?
How to loop videos/movies on an Apple TV4 ?!
