When the extension is enabled I get anywhere from 30 to 60 dropped frames, and the video quality is noticeably lower than without it. Is there an option I missed or is this some other kind of problem?

I'm using multiple monitors with DisplayFusion, which splits the screen into multiple zones. If you click 'maximize' on a window, it will maximize to the zone's size, instead of the full monitor's size. This works pretty consistently across all softwares.

For example, this is what it looks like

Is it possible to alter youtube's Fullscreen behaviour to get the local "maximize" size, and emulate Fullscreen to within the size, just like how a window will when affected by DisplayFusion or similar PIP software? Maybe another software button can be added so as to not completely replace native Fullscreen.

I noticed this only on this specific livestream that was saved as a video after it was completed.

As noted in the support forum, many users (myself included) find they currently cannot play YouTube videos in Chrome with ImprovedTube running; we have to disable it completely to view videos:

Note that this is different from Cant view embedded youtube videos when extension enabled · Issue #18 · ImprovedTube/ImprovedTube, which refers only to embedded videos.

Should add on top for the miniplayer so it is not behind the related videos.

Playback Speed Not Working, I tried To Change My Shortcut Key, But Still it is On Normal Playback Speed

Hi, I've sent a mail with the information about this what I assume is a bug but I thought I'd make an issue thread as well so that if other people have the same problem can see that it is not just them.

But anyway, the problem I'm having is that night mode seems to have stopped working today even thought it worked perfectly well yesterday. Now I can turn it on when I a youtube page on and it will change the theme into night mode, but as soon as I open a new youtube page it turns back into the original white theme.

The other problem I'm having is with the option to show how long ago a video was uploaded and also how many videos a channel has made. I don't know specifically when this stopped working but it doesn't work at all now.

If there is any more information I can give you to help in the bug fixing feel free to send me a respons on the mail I sent (it was two, one for each issue because I didn't notice the other before) so will I try to give any and all information I can.

When I activate the mini-player and scrolling down a while the audio continues to play, but the video goes black until I scroll back up.

The "prevent closing playing tab" is enabled even tho its disabled, i tried toggling it and reloading page.
Also tried disabling the plugin, reloading youtube and then it worked, so its definitely a bug

Some extensions do it, might be one line of JS

Symptom:
When I resize the video player, the video playback pauses.

Preferred behavior:
Not to pause video playback when I change the video player window size.

Thank you.

Been trying to turn Loudness Equalization/Normalization off...so far,nothing's working at all,which is a somewhat big issue.

Hi,

I've got my player size set to "fit to window" however when opening a new video it goes to "full window" mode for a few seconds before going back to "fit to window!"

This is a small annoyance, but if it isn't too much trouble i'd be great to see it fixed.

Liam

I don't see an option to disable "Scroll To Top" functionality. There should not be any modifications to behaviour that you can't disable. That page jumping is weird... Please provide an option to disable this :)

Currently if to open any channel and select "VIDEOS" tab - there are few options to sort videos.

Now it's possible to sort only by the following parameters:

• Most popular (view count)
• Date added (oldest)
• Date added (newest)

To my opinion the "must have" options should be also:

• Longest/Shortest
• HD

It would be great to have color sliders to create color schemes of our choice.

Noticed the screenshot function seems to take the current video window resolution rather than the actual video resolution directly causing low quality images on high quality videos.

Screenshotting a video that's playing in 4K results in an image resolution of 1385x779, assuming its the actual video player resolution.

Any chance it can use the video resolution over the video player resolution >>

// Line 454
cvs.width = video.offsetWidth;
cvs.height = video.offsetHeight;

Should be

cvs.width = video.videoWidth;
cvs.height = video.videoHeight;

Hello guys,

I'd like to fork your extension for personal use, but change the default preset values for the player (like for example force video to 144p instead auto, force volume to 30 instead auto, etc)

How should I do that?

Many thanks!

I get a moment of unresponsiveness with the extension on. I can't click or interact with the page, but the video plays for around 5 seconds before buffering for much longer than it should. There is no issue when I disable the extension, this happens consistently on every video.

I also get this error in the console, hopefully it helps:

category-settings.js:146 GET https://www.youtube.com/improvedtube 404

I enable reverse on the playlist options within the extension and when i goto a playlist i notice no change or any new icons. I have used a similar feature on an extension called iridium where it adds a new icon in the playlist box that allows reversing the playlist.

Hi would it be able to port some of the functionality?

Specifically, mouse right button lock + left/right/up/down cursor movement for volume scrolling / or forward / backward seek?

Also I found the scroll bar segmentation loop a bit nice, especially when wanting to replay a music clip part and not the whole clip. Right clicking at a point of the video progress bar to start the segment and again at a further point closing the segment loop.

Overall happy with this amazing plugin.
But however when I do fullscreen it freezes for couple of seconds. Any tips or ideas?
Cheers.

An option for this would be great, i.e. if I play a video in a another tab (or autoplay starts a video), any currently playing one should be automatically paused.

YouTubeCenter had this feature, but it's abandoned and has many issues, so having this feature in ImprovedTube would be great.

If i use ImprovedTube functions of the player sometimes broken.
For example i can't pause the video or the play/pause button disappeared.
Or i click an another video, the previous video are play, may be if i have the "don't autoplay" set to active.

When Autoplay is turned off for playlist, and or player, the focus is not on the player, thus spacebar shortcut does not play the video. After ImprovedTube does its thing to prevent the video from playing the focus should return to the player.

Greetings! Just downloaded this extension to Opera and it's working great! Perhaps you should add a link to the Opera extension to the site?

https://addons.opera.com/sv/extensions/details/improvedtube-youtube-extension/

Also, it seems the Opera extension hasn't been updated in almost a year. Any reason why?

Wonder if it's possible to add support for that? Happy to experiment myself too if this is possible but need some work. Not sure where to start right now but felt this could be super helpful (I watch tutorials a lot on youtube and this is a major pain point).

Add a 30fps option next to the HD quality options

On Google Chrome current Version 72.0.3626.109 (Official Build) (64-Bit) stop Autoplay doesn't work reliable. One time it works, other time not.

ImprovedTube: 1.27.19
Chrome: 73.0.3683..103

When you set shortcut for like video (CTRL+SHIFT+L in my case) and try to use it while playing video which is part of playlist do not work. Instead of small popup which said Added to Liked Videos, popup with Added to Library message is shown.

Playlist:

Standalone video:

I notice your repository is incomplete without a good readme.md and a description that would potentially make your extension more noticeable. Also i suggest making a bug fixing and feature development project to prioritize issues.

Trying to watch streams embedded in multiple websites, and videos left in reddit comments in particular, although these are not the only websites/situations effected. The videos show up blank: https://i.imgur.com/tuTGFlT.png when opened, the audio plays, but the video cannot be seen, and there are no player controls

This is ONLY an issue with the extension enabled, when disabled, embedded videos work properly.

Not sure how it's implemented in this extension, but this CSS snippet does the job for regular and Premium YouTube (although you'll have to replace the 3rd colour to match the different themes)

g.ytd-topbar-logo-renderer path[fill*="#FF0000"] {
fill: #282828
}

html[dark="true"] g.ytd-topbar-logo-renderer path[fill*="#FF0000"] {
fill: #fff
}

html[dark="true"] g.ytd-topbar-logo-renderer polygon[fill*="#FFFFFF"] {
fill: #232323
}

As you can see in the screenshot

Chrome: 71.0.3578.98
ImprovedTube: 1.9.1

With extension:

Without extension or enabling all ads video normally contains adds:

It would be really helpful if there is a keyboard shortcut for toggling the night mode on and off. I personally suggest the (N) key if possible.

Youtube will retain playback speed when viewing related videos. So one can be browsing lecture videos at 2x in one tab while every other video will open at the default 1x.

If video_playback_speed option is set then video will always play at that defined speed instead of retaining previous set speed breaking youtube's functionality, only way to reset to previous behavior is to clear improvedtube settings and not set video_playback_speed.

This is annoying because it sometimes covers content. The worst part though is when the button to scroll back to the top of the page covers it up. If you don't add mini-player re-positioning, can you at least move the scroll to top button slightly?

The "skip ad" button is not visible when using "Fit to Window" and YouTube's Theatre Mode

Is it possible to have an option to not automatically move to the next playlist item, kind of like the "Up next autoplay" option, but for playlists?

I know it kind of goes against the whole idea of a playlist but I tend to read comments on even playlist videos, and sometimes keep the video running, and it's not the first time I've read comments and forcibly been redirected to the next video while doing so.

If this isn't a feature that would be interesting for you to implement, then maybe you could just point me in the right direction/give some tips and I can implement it myself.

When you go to Subscriptions page, and scroll through the videos, sometimes you find "I am going live" videos, that have links to Twitch, for example, in their description which you can see alongside the video thumbnail in your feed. The ability to click those immediately instead of opening the video, and clicking there or copy-pasting in your search bar would be nice to have.

Not really an issue but I'm not a fan of the way the hidden header behaves.

I've made changes in my fork if you're interested. It removes the dead space up top as well as removing opacity of the header when hidden. I've also added a delay to the transition to avoid false triggers since there is no longer a margin-top.

Videos pause when I unfocus the tab or window. Not sure if this can be turned off or not. I would appreciate being able to have videos keep playing on unfocus as I have multiple monitors and will be doing something else while I have something playing on YouTube.

I've been using ImprovedTube for a long time. Recently my chrome crashes all the time and I'm trying to move to Firefox. Is there any possibility that improvedtube can be launched on firefox?

When using the loop function, the player will go back to the beginning of the video, and then become unplayable until i restart the page (although spamming spacebar has worked sometimes).

Is it hard to make separate window (popup) as it's realized in Floating for Youtube?
Here is what I mean:

It would be great if we could have the option to use the original material dark mode. The new one is too high-contrast.

ImprovedTube has received an update in the meantime, but there are no new commits here?! I may contribute in the future, but I want to be sure that there is a solid, up-to-date and open base

When you have both time uploaded and video count enabled it looks strange. I think it'd be much better if the time uploaded was moved to the date line
