Youtube Prevent Autoplay

Prevents videos from playing automatically by replacing the default youtube.com player with the youtube player that doesn't autostart playback


//0.7 changes - updated for site changes
//0.6 changes - changed the way the script gets the video id to prevent it failing in some instances
//0.5 changes - fixed it so it won't open a new window if you click the big arrow in the middle to play video. The script should now also work even if video embedding is disabled.
//0.4 changes - disabled the script for when embedding is disabled
//0.3 changes - fixed a compatibility glitch with Youtube Googler
//0.2 changes - is now compatible with Youtube Googler http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6198

Hi, developers.

I would like to make a suggestion about YT Prevent Autoplay:

When this feature is marked/enabled, the Prevent Autoplay works fine, but I will be thankful if the video continues loading automatically, like paused or something...

Free Hugs,
Daniel, from Brazil.

@spacemanspiff: I've altered the script so it wont open in a new window when you click on the big arrow in the middle of the video to play it.

The script should also work now even if embedding is disabled.

hi yansky, it's a great script here
just have one annoyance though,
when i click on the big arrow in the middle of the video to start it, it opens it up in another tab...
ie. i'm being forced to use the small arrow in the bottom left..

not a huge problem, but still a bit of an annoyance

any way to fix that?
