If you want this to work, try my script:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/33042
(Don't forget to open the Options menu and Set autoplay to buffering.)

things have moved on. i'm now using the "YouTube HQ + 720p Ultimate [MAR 2009] [+autoplay off option]" script which can not only be (manually) set to buffer videos but also picks up HD content where available. still a huge fan of your scripts Yansky, keep up the good work.

Hi all

This might not be the most efficient solution, but it worked for me. Just do the following changes in the source code:

--BEFORE:

pD.addEventListener('mouseout', pdmousOu = function(e){

altPlayerIMG.style.display='block';
mP.style.height='25px';

}, false);

--AFTER:

pD.addEventListener('mouseout', pdmousOu = function(e){

altPlayerIMG.style.display='none'; //changed from block => none
mP.style.height='385px'; //changed from 25px => 385px

}, false);

Yeah this happened to me once this week too. I haven't had much free time lately but I will try to look into it in the next few days.

Indeed. I am also having this issue. Youtube certainly changed the goal posts this month. basically as war59312 said, the mouse cursor needs to be hovering over the embedded youtube video in order to display the video, otherwise just the 'thumbnail' of the video is shown.

Seems youtube/google has changed something. Now you have to have your mouse over the controls or video wont play. :(

Linking to a particular time in the video as seen here http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/link-to-youtube-m... breaks this script. Or at least, you don't get to that time, even when you hit play. In fact, in Firefox, it doesn't even show the video window, you just get the control bar... See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjDw3azfZWI#t=31... for an example.

@cmagnuson - are you using the latest version of the script? The newest version should work with videos that have ads.

First off, this script is IMPOSSIBLE to find by doing a Google search for 'YouTube disable autoplay autobuffer' which is exactly what the script does. I had to search for hours to find this script again.

I can confirm that this script no longer works on YouTube videos with ads. It works fine on YouTube videos without ads but when the ads appear, the script will no longer disable autoplay. I DESPERATELY need a fix for this because I work at YouTube and I open thousands of videos everyday and it is super super super annoying to switch to each individual tab to pause the video.

I will KILL for a fix for this script! Thanks for all of your hard work!

Why doesn't it work on any of expertvillage's videos?

Do you mean on user pages in general or this one for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K_Gi2jc5W0

I was also annoyed by mouse hovering problems and YouTube Buffer Video's incompatibilities with another YouTube scripts (YouTube HQ + 720p and some player window enlarging script I don't remember), so I made a couple of minor changes for myself. I'm an "on and off" C++ programmer with no JScript experience, but this quick edit seems to have fixed all hovering-related annoyances and enlarged the YouTube media player to the size I wanted. I also want to mention that I was able to imitate the functionality of YouTube HQ + 720p by using the FoxReplace Firefox addon (http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6510). All one needs is a general rule that replaces

it makes you hover the video for it to be seen playing.

It's not supposed to do that. The hover stuff is there so that you can see the the vertical audio bar if you mouseover the audio level button on the player while it's buffering. I needed to restore the height of the player and hide the preview image so that the vertical audio bar would show.

The hover event listeners and the preview image should be removed once you click the play button, but I guess it's not doing that for whatever reason.

I love this script but why does it do things that aren't mentioned in the description? I took out the part where it makes you hover the video for it to be seen playing. That's completely pointless I think.
