The following is an archive of comments made before threaded discussions was implemented (November 16th, 2008)

If this script is to be updated again, would it be at all a bother to implement a full screen feature? Using this great, GREAT script for YouTube to watch videos is alright, but considering only the Quicktime player has any menu where you can go anywhere in the video, it has no method of being able to go full screen, which can be rather stressing for some videos.
Can this feature be expected anytime soon, or would I have to ask Apple or so for this sort of feature in their player? (Although it works for the player not used on the internet.)

And yes, I also agree with Sark below. Will this script also be made to work with as many, or any websites that use the standard, annoyingly crash prone flash player by Adobe? Downloading separate scripts for other sites can be annoying, especially if there aren't for some.

Much thanks. This script is great.

I don't know about making scripts. How easy would this be to get it to work with other common video sites like google video, metacafe etc. Or even just those two. I did a quick search for metacafe, and it seems the ones supporting it are downloaders and not embedded players.

Treviño, what benefit does the resolution detection offer? Is it because the video not playing with correct ar if someone is running a non 4:3 resolution?

Good... The auto-size code is really good!

BTW, I was so stupid: thinking to compatibility I posted a code with iexplore checks... LOL :P

Well, I was not thinking that those are just local scripts :P

In the previous code commit there was a typo, btw I've changed the code to adapt the player size not to the screen resolution, but to the browser size (btw it isn't totally proportional yet):

var width = 450;
var height = 358;

if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3) {
	if (navigator.appName=="Netscape") {
		windowWidth = window.innerWidth;
		windiwHeight = window.innerHeight;
	}
	if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1) {
		windowWidth = document.body.offsetWidth;
		windiwHeight = document.body.offsetHeight;
	}
}

if (windowWidth >= 1024 && windowWidth < 1280) {
	width = 556;
	height = 435;
}

if (windowWidth >= 1280 && windowWidth < 1680) {
	width = 885;
	height = 683;
}

if (windowWidth >= 1680) {
	width = 930;
	height = 715;
}

What about adding an automatic resolution checker like:

var width = 885;
var height = 358;

if (screen.width >= 1024 && screen.width < 1280) {
	width = 556;
	height = 435;
}

if (screen.width >= 1280 && screen.width < 1680) {
	width = 885;
	height = 683;
}

if (screen.width >= 1680) {
	width = 930;
	height = 715;
}

Then I've ported many of your cool features (mp4 and other formats playback and resized-player) back to Youtube Alternate Player: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64223/
