Is it just me, or did the font type suddenly change on Youtube?

I love theatre mode otherwise, but I won't stand for this.

That should only happen with the Flash player and that's simply because of how Flash works. It's kinda unavoidable but Flash actually appears in front of every other element on the page.

Huh, I thought they completely removed the Flash compatibility a while ago. I guess I was misinformed.

Minor gripe from me for playlists is that they don't show how long they are anymore again. Fix that, YT.

This brings up an annoyance I've had for awhile now. Nothing that shows up in the sidebar on the pages for videos, whether it's a playlist or just related/recommended videos, shows the duration anymore and it's annoying. It almost seems like they're trying to force people to not take duration into account when choosing whether a video sounds interesting and it's dumb because video length is obviously an important factor.

Exactly, I thought they had dumped it.

That's not completely untrue but on Firefox it's not the default still, at least on the stable branch, since they don't have the html5 support completed yet. And on top of that even if you're using the html5 player, if there's an issue it'll automatically replace it with the flash player as well.

I can't figure out how to delete my own playlists. I swear I've trial-and-errored through all the menus like it was in Japanese or something but I can't find. Please.

Also there's apparently a new copyright law that states you're not allowed to sing songs? WHAT?!

Open the playlist (not a video but the playlist itself) then click "playlist settings" then in the bottom left is a "delete playlist" option.

...I see. Thanks. Still think it's convoluted as hell.

It's interesting. Related videos from other channels and recommended videos (which is now a cheap excuse for showing videos from your subscriptions) now clog up the related videos box SO MUCH that it's a luxury to find videos that are actually from the same channel.

I remember when recommended videos usually used up one slot and one slot only, and how you could actually see the next video in a series without having to use a playlist. (which is actually pretty useful when the author hasn't made one yet)

So YouTube has an off switch for autoplaying related videos now. wooo *twirls comically small flag*

Seems like a decent update considering this is Youtube we're talking about. Just the ability to disable autoplay makes this update worthwhile in my eyes. (Well, if it weren't for the fact that Magic Actions already has that option.)

Now they need to add back seeing view counts on individual videos in playlists as well as how long said playlists are. It's two of those small features I miss.

You also apparently can't see how many videos a user uploaded now. Either that or it's really hidden.

To be fair it IS sort of hidden

If anyone wants to get the new player: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/04/12/how-to ... er-design/

So here's an interesting issue with Google+ integration I've never noticed until now:
since there's that checkbox on YouTube comments to "share on Google+", if someone has that checked to leave a comment on your video, it will actually just be considered a Google+ share, and if that person has their Google+ settings set so people can't comment on their posts without being friends with them or however it works on G+, you can't reply to their comment.

Like, there are literally comments you can read and rate but can't reply to on your own video.

So apparently Youtube is dropping RSS Feed support (or at least, changing it).

10 years ago today, the first ever YouTube video was uploaded.

Well, time sure went by pretty fast.

Anyway, anyone getting this issue when they try to watch in 720p? Because I certainly am. And this is after I disabled both Stylish and Greasemonkey for the website.

EDIT: Okay, apparently it has to do with Youtube's new HTML5 player. Once I got an extension to revert to the Flash player it began working properly. Not a good first impression for the new player, I gotta say.

60FPS HYPE!

Weirdly I have a similar issue with Magic Action's cinema mode but not in the normal mode. That could be because I have a custom Stylish script on Youtube though and one of the things it affects is the video to recenter it after stretching the comments section out to actually use up some of the space I have on my monitor.
