jeez, easy phineass buddy, not only did I credit you in mine on the sourceand the main page even though its just the general idea of skipping the ad that i "stole", but I'm also not spamming, spamming would be doing something with malicious intent. i'm just trying to help people by showing them mine which is better than yours:

And I didn't steal your code. I used it initially (along with my video size fix) in the first two versions of my script, but that doesn't even matter because now mine mostly works on: location.href=document.URL.replace(/preroll.+/,"player") anyway, which is one effective line compared to over 6 in yours.

this is what yours does, but much better. plus, you didnt adjust the dimensions.

The reason I made a separate script is because yours DOESNT FIX the video size, which is a fairly annoying problem. You can't view all the controls, view vid in fullscreen etc in case you didn't realize bud. And apparently, your fix doesn't work according to some guy below, but I can't bother to confirm.

lol "spamming", i posted THREE times so far on this script (i deleted one comment to please your angry soul)

also, i even offered you to update your script and i'd delete mine once, but you just gave me the "silent treatment", so I retracted the offer.

avg, could you please stop spamming? it's one thing to take someone's idea, then steal their code, but for the love of God, stop spamming here - we got it

This is one of my favorite scripts, but it hasn't been working lately.
Any news of a fix? Please :)

I'm using FX 3.0 and GM 0.8.20.080609.0 (both latest builds). Thank you for any insight on this.

Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/browser.jar!/content/browser/player.

Hmmm. Works great for me on Fx2. Thanks phineas.

John,

Specify which versions of GM and Fx you are using and phineas may be able to fix it for you.
