Yes, this doesn't seem to work any longer with Flash Player 10. It makes me sad.

Dear Yanksy,

I want to remove it, and now it just keeps playing even when I have shut down Greasemonkey!
What should I do?

Thank you for this script. However, I think I notice a bug. If I use this script, even though I set in my YouTube account to load the higher quality version of the video, this script will load the standard version. And even if I click on the "watch on the higher quality version", it will not work, which means I only be able to watch in standard version if I am using this script.

Why do I get a horizontal scrollbar when I have this script enabled?

Normally I dont have a horizontal scrollbar on Youtube.

 
Stanmishan User

Hi ,

What we want it’s to share this script, this php script get you the youtube flv file at runtime.
With it , it’s easy to develop alternate youtube player.

And if someone want to develop online youtube player with it, we will publish it on our website.

Jookydo.

@Stanmishan - why would I bother?

 
Stanmishan User

Hello !

You can use our php library to get the youtube flv source :
Juste add this in your script :

I've added the code (below) based on YouTotem after the 'else if(iCanHazSpanna){'; now I can use the alternate player to play the best video quality available ;)

if(pD) {	
			var z = null;
			var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
			for(var i = 0; i < scripts.length && z == null; ++i) {
				z = scripts[i].text.match(/video_id": "([^"]+).+, "t": "([^"]+)/);
			}
				
			if(z == null) {
				alert('Unable to find video source');
				return;
			}
			
			var videosrc = 'http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=' + z[1]+ '&t=' + z[2];
			var quality = '18'
        		videosrc += '&fmt=' + quality;

			var spanTex = encodeURIComponent(videosrc);

Then you can also add the code for changing quality directly from the GM menu, and for increasing the player size.

My full (with all the features listed above) script is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64117/

Yansky, can you build a new script with JW FLV Player?? (see request here)

Thanks

 
simon! Scriptwright

Thank you so much!

Great job.

 
anonymous_user User

great script, but 2 comments:

1) Can the "fish" logo in fullscreen be a bit smaller? Its too big imho
2) When in fullscreen, it doesn't keep the aspect ratio. Can this be fixed?

 
leecovuk User

Thanks Yansky, now working fine for me too.
I like this player better than that/those offered by your Firefox extension version.
