YouTube stop video download

Youtube allow you to pause the video, but it keeps downloading. This script adds a stop/play button next to video's title.

Jul 2, 2008 lazyttrick Script's author	Oh thanks, I use FIrefox... I'll install Opera to see if there's a easy solution

Jul 1, 2008 Paweł Solorz User	this script doesn't work with opera 9.51

Jun 20, 2008 lazyttrick Script's author	I couldn't find any problem with it...

Jun 20, 2008 hach22 Scriptwright	does not work properly

Jun 14, 2008 mcgoxel User	uninstalled, so this script do not continue video when push to the button for paused ..

Jun 5, 2008 lazyttrick Script's author	you're welcome ;) i wish that was possible, but right i don't know a way to do that

Jun 5, 2008 raymondb User	Thanks!, this is just what I was looking for to conserve my limited bandwidth. One request though, can you make it so that when I press your play button, playback continues from where it was stopped, preferably without losing the portion of the video that had already been downloaded?

Dec 22, 2007 ekbworldwide Scriptwright	This script only seems to work for www.youtube and not at other "countries" Chinese hip-hop grandma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS7lOUSzRNk The video plays at www.youtube - but not here: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=HS7lOUSzRNk http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=HS7lOUSzRNk http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HS7lOUSzRNk http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=HS7lOUSzRNk

Oct 27, 2007 Yansky Scriptwright	lazyttrick, I think I may have a solution for what Miccovin is after. I've posted my code in the forums here: http://userscripts.org/forums/1/topics/1220

Oct 26, 2007 lazyttrick Script's author	now I get it... I'll do some google on the subject, I believe Youtube player won't allow it, but I'll give it a try... :-)

Oct 26, 2007 Miccovin User	Hi lazyttrick, thanks, but i think you don´t understand. With your script the video is pausing, But then it´s not loading!! So do you have any idea to uncouple the pausing from the loading? This is the quintessence. Mic

Oct 25, 2007 lazyttrick Script's author	Auto stop feature included, thanks for the suggestion... I like the idea :-)

Oct 24, 2007 Miccovin User	> Actually what I need is an auto pause feature > but the video is still being downloaded. > > Thanks anyways. > > Cheers. I would love this function, too. Lazyttrick, do you have any idea to realize this? Mic

Oct 11, 2007 pogue User	Interesting feature when you hit "Stop" on a beta player page, it reverts the video back to the old format (for me at least).

Sep 10, 2007 silver09 User	Actually what I need is an auto pause feature but the video is still being downloaded. Thanks anyways. Cheers.

Sep 7, 2007 lazyttrick Script's author	maybe you want this: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12008

Aug 20, 2007 silver09 User	Issit possible for an auto-pause feature...E.g. I would like to open a video on a tab. But bandwith is a bit slow....so when the video is completely loaded i would like to come back to it. Thanks for any help

Jul 29, 2007 lazyttrick Script's author	I think its not so simple as I was thinking, but I'll give it a try. :) thanks!

Jul 25, 2007 luispavon User	hey lazyttick, still loving your script! how is the work to use it on embedded videos, mate?

Jul 19, 2007 Carajito User	Hello, I'm sorry for my ignorance but how can I put this script to work? How can I install it, I completely ignore, please help me in plain English. Thank You :-)

Jun 27, 2007 luispavon User	cool script! i would also like it to work on embeded videos on blogs.

Mar 26, 2007 lazyttrick Script's author	Hi, I think its possible to do that. I'll make some tests...

Mar 24, 2007 jettie reimer User	that's a great script. really helpful. thanx a lot. i wonder if it can possibly work on embeded in a blog video. would be even more useful...
