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/109267287","html_url":"https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/1116#issuecomment-109267287","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/1116","id":109267287,"user":{"login":"DAOWAce","id":480587,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/480587?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce","html_url":"https://github.com/DAOWAce","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DAOWAce/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-05T11:48:54Z","updated_at":"2015-06-05T11:48:54Z","body":"@Tailszefox That's just it: There's numerous things not working correctly.  They're not minor issues in my eyes.  Two major things broken in the last few months include the player being misaligned and the wrong size and player shortcuts breaking the ability to comment properly.  Both had to be worked around, I don't know if they ever got fixed (one didn't, as per a recent issue).  There's been a bunch of minor ones, but any I currently remember got fixed in the dev builds.  At this point it's now foolish to use the stable version, as so many things are broken in it.\r\n\r\nThe issues that I've personally found (even in dev build 525) are:\r\n\r\nPrevent auto-play, the big one, is broken in both Flash and HTML5.\r\nAuto-resolution is randomly broken in HTML5.\r\nPrevent auto-buffer is actually broken in HTML5, and it's what I switched to on Flash as a workaround for prevent auto-play not working. - Because of these two things, using YTC on Chrome is now a hassle.\r\nPage loads take significantly longer with YTC enabled.\r\nYTC quadruple's Firefox's peak memory usage and causes it to use over 80MB more memory **even on a blank page**, using even more on an actual youtube video page. https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/1005#issuecomment-65885371\r\nWhen viewing a user's video page the page loads in the middle then scrolls down near to the bottom.\r\n\"Hide watch later button\" option doesn't function for the flash player.\r\nSettings randomly reset for no apparent reason.\r\n\r\nAs for it not being widespread, just do a search, there's quite a bit of issues.  Here's the oldest one I last found when looking for it: https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/424  That's 1 year 2 months old and **still** open.\r\n\r\nAll of these things compounded make using Youtube an annoyance, yet it's still the lesser of the two evils compared to using vanilla Youtube.  Even then, with both prevent auto-play and auto-resolution changing not even working in HTML5, there actually no reason for me to even use YTC on Chrome anymore unless I want UI changes/features.\r\n\r\nIf you want to attempt to look into getting the autoplay fixed, then I wish you luck. I would delve into it too if I understood any of this stuff, but I don't, and probably won't for many more years *(the very most would be actual programming languages, as I aim to create games in the future)*."}}
