Thanks, that's the one I was using but it doesn't work as seamlessly as yours. So I assume that means this script is dead for good?

Youtube changed something and now the player doesn't show the video time correctly and you can't seek.

I used this code, but now I cannot see embedded videos at all. I uninstalled the script, but the embedded videos still do not show up. I disabled greasemonkey itself, and I still cannot see embedded videos. I can only view youtube videos directly from the site. Do you have an idea how to fix this?

Hey great script the only problem is with youtube sponsored videos ones that show an ad in the video seem to autoplay still.

Any ideas on how to get those videos to stop playing as well.

Thanks

BTW, do you know why < blockquote > doesn't seem to be working in comments anymore?
It works, it's just invisible.
Install my script here and it makes them look nice. Also a faster Stylish version here.

Btw avg, I like the old player because you can click anywhere on the player to start it... the new one you have to click right on the button. Also I like the seeking more on the old one, it seems more precise.

it seems to work, but the "greenish" css is completely gone.

@avg - Thanks, that works really well. I've updated the script with your code.

Even shorter code is: USES THE PLAYER ON THE PAGE

with(document.getElementById('movie_player'))
{
	setAttribute("flashvars","autoplay=0&"+getAttribute("flashvars"));
	src+="#";
}

this allows you to use the new player as well, instead of switching to the less attractive older one.

Ok I tested this code and it works fine: USES THE OLD PLAYER

	  with(document.getElementById('movie_player'))
	  	{
	  	src="/player2.swf?"+getAttribute("flashvars");
		setAttribute("flashvars","iurl=http%3A//img.youtube.com/vi/"+/v=([^#&]+)/.exec(document.URL)[1]+"/default.jpg");
		src+="#";
		}

did you try out my other code suggestion? i tried it and it works on this end.

Archived Comments, replied by Yansky

Yansky — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:40:53 +0000

For example, wouldn't :
document.getElementById('movie_player').src='/player2.swf'
do the trick?

I tried it out but it didn't seem to work for me.

This script can be shorter:

var $=function(x) {return document.getElementById(x)}, 
    fvars = $('movie_player').getAttribute('flashvars'),
  getArg=function(arg) {
     return (new RegExp(arg+"=([^&#]+)").exec(fvars)||[,''])[1];
  },
 vidID = getArg('video_id'), l=getArg('l'), t = getArg('t'); 

$((/\/user\//.test(document.URL) ? 'profile' : 'watch') + '-player-div').innerHTML = '<embed id="movie_player" flashvars="&rs=1&sn=1&hl=en&iurl=http%3A//img.youtube.com/vi/'+vidID+'/default.jpg"'+
'type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="/player2.swf?video_id='+vidID+'&t='+t+'&l='+l+'"'+
'height="395px" width="480px"></embed>';

Haven't tested it at all, but I'm assuming it should work.

But one question: Why don't you just port the flashvars directly over, instead of extracting bits and pieces? Better yet, why don't you just search for the <embed>, and change the src directly?

For example, wouldn't :

document.getElementById('movie_player').src='/player2.swf'

do the trick? I might be wrong.

@ekbworldwide & wolssiloa - I've updated it to work on the profile page.

I second ekbworldwide's idea. Videos on a user's profile should also not automatically play.

Could you add the ability to stop profile videos from auto-starting?

Archived Comments, replied by JoeSimmons

JoeSimmons — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:54:18 +0000

Nice. Could you possibly make a script that will just pause the video when it starts, so it loads but doesn't play right away? In other words, could you make this script have the video load but not play yet?
