Flash 14/15/16/17.\r\n\r\nSo I just discovered this addon after using numerous Greasemonkey userscripts over the last few years and found it has a wealth of options and less issues with managing the page.\r\n\r\nOne big feature I've used all this time is preventing autoplay, so it buffers the video instead.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working most of the time with this addon.\r\n\r\nEDIT: **This is happening with the Flash player only**.  It is also a problem on the latest stable version of Chrome, which I just tested.\r\n\r\nOriginally, when I tried to use it, it just flat out disabled the video altogether, like what happens when you use the 'prevent auto-buffer' option.  This was resolved by finding the download link on the github page, as the addon on Mozilla's website is still 2.1.0, uploaded in JANUARY.  Jeez.\r\n\r\nNow, with a recent version (2.1.7), the option works.. but very rarely.  I kept changing options around thinking it might not be working with the other options I have set (like auto-resize, auto-quality), but nothing seemed to change.  Then one refresh it worked.  I thought it might have been a fluke so I refreshed again without changing options.. broken.  Another refresh, worked.  Every refresh after that it's failed to work at all.\r\n\r\nI then installed the dev version (419), but that changed nothing about the issue.\r\n\r\nI've searched through reports here and the only one still open that's relevant is the 'video plays for x seconds before pausing', which funnily enough is an issue my userscript has, but only if I open numerous videos at the same time (that's a lot of processing to do!).\r\n\r\nSo, as it stands, I'm enabling my old userscript along side this solely to fix the autoplay issue.  Hopefully it can be resolved, as I'd love to finally dump it and use YTC entirely. Page loads take a while with both enabled (they're fighting!).\r\n\r\nSide note: The dev download .xpi doesn't get picked up by firefox and is offered as a regular download.  Is this intentional or some bug?  The normal one detects fine."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/comments/109255340","html_url":"https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/1116#issuecomment-109255340","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/1116","id":109255340,"user":{"login":"Tailszefox","id":890677,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/890677?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox","html_url":"https://github.com/Tailszefox","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Tailszefox/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-05T10:38:25Z","updated_at":"2015-06-05T10:38:25Z","body":"This isn't going to turn into anything pleasant and I think everyone is aware of that, so let's try to keep it civil.\r\n\r\n@DAOWAce , I understand your frustration, but please keep in mind this addon is maintained by a sole developer in their spare time, with occasional help from others. What gets fixed and when is entirely dependent on their free time and willingness  to work on the addon, and it may not always line up with what you would like. That's not to say you can't complain, but keep in mind that it's not always possible to fill everyone's requests.\r\n\r\nOn that note, frequency of update isn't an accurate measurement of how good or active a piece of software is, especially when it's working correctly. There hasn't been any major breakage from Youtube recently, which I guess is why there hasn't been any update in a while. It's also possible the developer just can't work on the script right now, and we have to respect that.\r\n\r\nFinally, please keep in mind that this particular issue doesn't seem very widespread. Perhaps the developer can't even reproduce it, and it is very hard to fix an issue that can't be reproduced. As such, it's understandable that it still hasn't been fixed, since it seems to happen somewhat randomly due to a very varying list of factors.\r\n\r\nAll that being said, since I do encounter the issue myself, I will try and see if I can fix it myself after doing a fork. No promise, though, but I'll give it a try. In the meantime, if you have a fast enough connection, I suggest to simply auto-buffering, as it effectively completely stops the video from being played in any case."}}
