Oh no, not the spammers...

anyway, some videos do not have MP4 versions available, and therefore do not load with this script.

Now if there's no MP4 video and you're only using the "&fmt=18" trick, it just plays the lower quality version. Is there any way to make this happen with the script as well?

Example video with no MP4 version:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Hfahp4J_-_o

alright, cool. Though, take note, my name is actually "Nintendo Maniac 64" bit it's too long and gets cut off XD (hence the ... at the end)

I've noticed that when you click the "original" link, then reload the page, the high-quality video won't play (it tries to load endlessly)

I think what happens it that clicking the "original" link adds a # to the end of the URL, and when you reload, the # is still in the url, and this script can't locate the HQ video then.

Is there any way that the script could ignore the # when it's at the end of the URL?

Please update this.

Umm, youtube just changed their site around and now this script no longer works. (even though adding &fmt=18 to the end of the url still works)

There most certainly is need for this script yet. The YouTube option doesn't seem to be working. At least, I don't see a "Play in lower quality" link. Plus, it's certainly not the H.264 version, like this script gives. Those play in widescreen, but the videos still play with black borders on all sides if I simply select "play in higher quality" in the settings.

Hi, I wrote http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/23535 . I just tested my script against the options in the link you have in the description. It still finds better quality for most videos, and finds high quality for videos where youtube supposedly doesn't have high quality available.

Just wanted to let you know you don't have to throw away yours as it probably is still working better than the Youtube options too.

Btw is the aLoader GIF that 10000 other scripts including mine sport yours? If so, thanks.

The script dont work in Opera 9.26 :/

Very very nice :)
I never knew there were HD versions available

i posted it in the forum, but maybe you dont see it, so i post it here ;)

"fantastic, works very good now. :)

but there is a little problem. not with the script, but with youtube. some videos are not available in higher quality. so i have to disable greasemonkey for these videos, go back and load the site again.

i dont know, wich solution is the best. maybe a link to lower quality in the near of the video window."

Now if only autoplay can be disabled?

Could you show me any sample youtube video links that has HD version?

Thanks

Seems to work, I never knew there were HD versions available. Such a simple little script, too. Thanks!
