YouTube Stuff (mostly the management screwing up AMIRITE)

[SAJewers]

My life has been infinitely better since using the HTML5 player, just sayin'.

https://www.youtube.com/html5

Disabling dash playback via third party plugin always seemed to give me problems or would stop working, but here videos load fully and there's no problem since it's a Youtube thing they're doing themselves. (I assume?)

I actually tried it again recently, and it now actually works for me, aside from a few issues that are fixed with a page reload.

[Learning-Timebuster]

All videos suddenly play for about two seconds without sound, skip back to the beginning, quickly sift through the available resolution options and end up crashing afterwards.

neat

Some video times are over, and play for 15 minutes of a black screen.

HTML5 is giving me a weird error lately that I noticed on a recent upload. It's like it shows the edge of the video with an annoying thin line. It happened twice, but it's not the end of the world or anything. It's just something I've never seen before. Non-HTML5 is fine, but I'll always take the option to pre-load an entire video.

I don't know about the Youtube Center addon but Magic Actions For Youtube can re-enable preloading.

So, whereas there used to be a button to keep a playlist from automatically progressing to the next video, we now have a button to enable looping a playlist instead. A button that looks exactly the same as the last one, but the old button's function just doesn't exist now.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Has anyone else noticed a lot of new videos just have no comments at all?

[Alice]

I've been noticing that my comments will sometimes randomly disappear on new videos only to mysteriously reappear later. I've had that happen a couple times in the past week or two. So what you're seeing could be something similar.

[Bean]

That glitch happens constantly. It even pops up on older videos for a few days before the missing comments finally show up again.

[devil†zukin]

one time a really nice comment on one of my videos disappeared for like 6 months and i figured they deleted it :{

but i checked back lately and it was there

[Bwarch]

So, any way to turn off +1 notifications for people thumbing up my comments? I went in to settings and just turned off every notification I could, no dice.

Woah,

Apparently YouTube introduced different fonts for video titles at some point? Never seen this anywhere before.

YouTube... What the literal fuck is wrong with you?

For reference, I was listening to the Archangel theme from SMT IV at the time.

Youtube seems to be really wonky with its recommendations sometimes. For me with raocow's video it constantly links me Minecraft LPs despite the fact I have never once watched a Minecraft LP video even on accident. Yet it has done this for months on end. (Though at least Minecraft is still a game. Those two for you don't seem at all related to the rest, lol.)

Instead of the useless autoplay how about a loop button like in Newgrounds

[Ashan]

I'm pretty sure the "I-actually-wanted-the-next-video-to-autoplay" to "god-dammit-it-went-to-a-random-new-video-and-I-didn't-want-it-to" ratio is like 1:1000

[Ditocoaf]

Unfortunately, if the "eh-I-guess-I-might-as-well-watch-this-next-thing-now-that-it's-already-playing" levels are at all greater than 0, that's far more important to google than those other two categories.

You can at least disable the autoplay (well 9/10 of the time, occasionally it manages to fail) if you're using GreaseMonkey and install this script. Though that script only works so long as there's an autoplay button. For the last several months on my end there wasn't even an autoplay button, it just assumed I wanted to go to the next video in a playlist (only for playlists though luckily so it wasn't too bad), and even that script couldn't stop it since there was no setting to change.

It's interesting that the patrick deuel situation would still be going around... it's been resolved for years now.

If you double-right-click the player, you'll get a neat little secret menu with a loop function!

[Ashan]

This isn't unique to me right?
Cause YouTube has been like this for a while in the playlist editing page, and it just looks so bad.
When you hover over a video to get the dropdown menu and remove from playlist button, it just covers half of the timestamp and looks terrible.

Same here. They also have the weirdest "hitbox" for those [X] points for when you want to remove what recommended channels when you are in the My Subscription page, at least for me.

[Alice]

I have the same thing. Also I have another complaint about the playlist pages. Clicking anywhere on the video's information tends to load the video it's attached to. This might be convenient for some people but I can't tell you how many times I've loaded a playlist, sent a message on Steam, then went to click back into Firefox only for the video to load even though I didn't click the title link. (You know, the ones that's not underlined unless you hover over it. A characteristic that is typically used to denote links.)

[Ashan]

Also the "X" button to remove a video from a playlist is literally on the other end of your screen, so you have to like, trace across the line from the video to the X with your eyes, and if you mess up and click the wrong X you removed the wrong video and there's no confirmation, to delete the video, nor an undo button.
I removed something from my favorites yesterday and I don't know what it was.
