I love this extension it changes youtube into something usable and enjoyable again.

That said with the new update opening a new tab has been causing the current video playing and audio to pause. Muting the tab allows it to continue in the background oddly enough.

I've switched off all the autoplay blocking and it now allows the video to function like normal. I'll be missing the autoplay blocking till it's fixed. Thanks Dev!

Can I give a Sugestion? Make an option to the the autoplay section to solve the problem of looping videos being stopped as well

In version 2.0.128 "video codecs and formats" stopped working. I installed 126 and it works there.

The extension works, but the control bar beneath the video doesn't load. I know that it's working because when I hold ctrl+scroll it changes the video speed, but I can't see the value being changed. There is also the recent conflict with SponsorBlock, it's like 30/70% on weather or not sponsor block actually works. At least the sponsor segment is still highlighted in the timeline so skipping past it manually is easy.

Another thing, in the past when I'd set the video speed, usually to 2.5x or 3x, it would persist between videos in the same tab, but now it resets every single video which is rather annoying.

Now seems to conflict with sponsorblock, speed slider no longer works

There is a conflict with this extension and SponsorBlock.
I've reverted to an older version of this extension just so SponsorBlock works again.

I used to use this plugin to play my videos at specific speed without it changing back to 1x. But now after some dumb update it stopped doing it. Atleast add an option to override or remove it without removing speeds that are higher than 2x. My disappointment is immesuarable and my day is ruined.

A must have for YouTube, unfortunately in the latest 2.0.128 the option to disable WebM/VP9 codecs and force H.264 stopped working. Until an update can fix this i had to go back to enhanced-h264ify

Abandonware for Firefox.

In version 2.0.128 "video codecs and formats" stopped working.

YouTube is utterly unwatchable without this app. Download it now.

YouTube streams are busted as others have said and either stutter like crazy or often end the stream prematurely while it's still going. Chat still works no matter what but the actual video itself no matter who the streamer is extremely unreliable and is fixed instantly by turning off the extension. Please fix as base YouTube sucks without this extension.

Edit: Thanks for rolling back the update! Reinstalled the extension to 2.0.126.1 and working normally now.

Version 2.0.128 causes video to automatically pause when in the background (switching to another tab, switching to another program, etc)

Please fix, or add an option to enable/disable this behaviour.

This needs an update. More than half the time it just doesn't work anymore.

Version .128 - the playback speed does not maintain its setting in the same tab - eg. while viewing the "watch later", or a playlist. On the next video, it resets itself back to the default speed in the options, which is not how it worked in version .126.

The default speed should only be used on a new tab/window.


I am giving 1 star to get the dev's attention on this regression.

Overall great but as of Nov 14 there's been a bug with this causing videos/streams to just STOP playing. Not pause, stop. I have to refresh the entire page to make them work again. It works fine on chrome and for firefox I narrowed it down to this extension - everything is fine once I disable this.

It is better now, but not working in all YouTube tabs... IDK why, but I use Firefox Nightly, maybe that was not tested in this Browser. So please include Nightly in compatibility list.
