I just created a new version of this script based on Jillian's great work, and fixed it so it handles the new videos. see it here.
Jillian, you're free to take my code, and use it as a version update for this script. no good will come from having two separate branches.
Everyone else - please let me know if this script gives you any problems.

A new version of the video player appears and caused the script not to function:
http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3574469,00.html

Can u please update this useful script?

notice that the video is changed and not working.

Very nice - One problem though. Ynet posts most vids with objtype application/asx (Multiple vids).

Your script translates all vids into objtype video/x-ms-wmv - Causing mplayer/VLC plugins to only play the first vid (The ynet logo vid) or not play anything.

Doing this on line 134:
obj.type = "application/asx";

Solves the problem - but it would be better to parse the asx file and extract the desirable content and filter out the ads.

Unfortunately, my JS is nonexistent... :-)

Oops, I meant LINE 265. In some links, the openinnewwindow() call is in the onClick. Put it in the href and delete the onClick.

There are still some links unprocessed that need to be processed. Replace like 265 with this:

} else if(/(openInnewWindow|openWin|open)\b/.test(curLink.getAttribute("onClick"))) {
curLink.href = unescape(/\(['"](.+?)["']/.exec(curLink.getAttribute("onClick"))[1]);
curLink.removeAttribute("onClick");
}

Amazing :) Do you have an email to be contacted by ? is there an .xpi version of this ?

works great form me on debian sid with firefox 2, thanks :-)

( i use some of your other scripts too, great work !)

now, maybe you can help me...

I have this other issue, we put Linux in schools (here in Israel) using the ltsp.org as main architecture. but some of the schools sites are not displayed correctly. so can you please check them out to see if you can fix the javascript and get pied for it too.

here is one example of edusystems cms system used in one of the school...

here is my email : nadavkav et gmail.com

Would you consider adding functionality from http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6416?

according to this article:
http://blog.goleshet.com/home/1163251711
you can prevent ynet from auto-refreshing pages by replacing the first parameter in the article's address from 0 to 1.
I would love to have this implemented in the next version of this add-on. Maybe even allow the user to decide if to allow auto refresh or not.

This script is not working for me. I have it installed & yet when I try to play Ynetnews video it does not work.

Is your script designed only to work at the Ynet Hebrew lang. site but not the YnetNews English lang. site?

Would you know of any way I can get video working in FF at the Ynetnews site? I downloaded an xpi file from the Ynetnews site but my PC isn't recognizing the file format & I can't open the file.

Fantastic! Seems to work great on the entire site. Great job.

As for Winter's remark - from my experience, the script works perfectly and doesn't affect the newsflash functionality.

What COULD be the problem is, if you have another, older, script that tries to fix Ynet's links, like the script YnetURLs. If you remove it, and also make sure you run the latest version of this script, there should be no problem.

The only thing that prevents me from using this useful script is that it kills the newsflash functionality (when you click on a newsflash headline, it'll open it in the small newsflash window which makes it unreadable).

ata totach, this is great!!

Hallelujah! :)
