Actually, the youtube stitch script is supposed to be compatible, according to the author, because it uses some of the same fuctions.
From the youtube stitch page:
Some of the functions from this script were created by Mindeye for YousableTubeFix.
I did install greasemonkey and the script on a clean profile and had no problems. But I went back to the profile that was having trouble and refreshed the video a few times. That seemed to fix the problem, but I have noticed that the pause function seems to arbitrarily work and not work and will work for a video for a few minutes, then when I refresh again, it will suddenly stop working.

Yes, but Prevent Autoplay Script implementation is better. It shows the standart player, not the preview (thumbnail)

An option to prevent autoplay is already on the script (see the configuration dialog)

Can you use this Prevent Autoplay script as part of your?

JrezIN and Alala:
Can you please try to reproduce the issue in a new Firefox profile (only with Greasemonkey and the script)?
Alala:
fmt 22 does result in a higher quality (see the video atzakalle linked to), but only when it's available (it isn't in that video, so YouTube falls back to a lower quality format)
About compatibility with YouTube Stitcht, I'll look into it. However, please bear in mind that the only way to keep a complex script like YousableTubeFix bug-free (and me sane enough to code and update it) is to suppose it is working in an unmodified YouTube page, so I don't promise anything ;-)
leecovuk:
As you have read in the script comments, the YouTube ajax page I use to provide that feature doesn't let me specify the number of comments, so it's difficult to customize that. I'll add an option to do that when I find a easy and robust enough way to do it
Xaber:
An option to autoexpand the sections in the right column is in my to do list. But I don't think it'll be a good idea to make the thumbnail bigger: it uses now the standard size of a YouTube video thumbnail and the browser does generally a poor job rescaling images. Furthermore, as the thumbnail is extracted from the video, it can have a too low resolution to be scaled up properly

Thanks. Your script is awesome.
Please add autoexpand "More videos from this user". And make tumbinal (Prevent Autoplay) is big (e.g. like standart flashplayer).

Hello and thanks for this script.
Would it be possible to do the following, although I read in the script's comments that it may be difficult:-
Limit how many comments are loaded in the 'full' mode rather than up to 500. Maybe 20 would be ok, with a link to the next 20 etc? It's just that a huge amount of comments takes ages for the page to load, of course.
I especially like always having comments in posting order, rather than the weird way Youtube inverts the order if there's more than 1 page of them.
So for me, the 'ideal' would be to have around 10 or 20 comments on a page and always in posting order down the page.
Thanks for any thoughts on this and well done on your hard work anyway.

Mindeye, I use the following options:
default size = 1
move and resize the video by default is on
scroll to the video by default is on
am not removing anything from the page
automatically expand video info is on
remove the hide button is off
showing normal amount of comments
prevent only autoplay
add easy to download links is on
bypass age verification is off
default format is h.264
flash player quality is set to highest
Also, &fmt=22 does not result in higher quality, take this vid as an example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqcz2xnFehM&fmt=18 vs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqcz2xnFehM&fmt=22
The audio in the &fmt=22 version is around the quality of the default youtube quality.
Could you also look into compatibility with http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/32755 and either integrate it or give me a fix I can manually add because youtube stitch breaks my stop autoplay feature.

Alala:
I've noted down your code change. I don't think it'll break anything, but I'm not sure at this moment
Playlist and quicklist autoplaying works for me. What script settings do you use?
leopolly:
I'm glad it's working now
JrezIN:
The script falls back to substitute the player with an icon if it can't use the Youtube API to pause it. However that hasn't happened to me in quite some time. Do you use another Greasemonkey script or extension for Youtube?
avg:
No. The purpose of the try/catch block is to prevent Javascript to stop the script if an error occurs when the GetVariable method is called. As it is indicated in the comments, Firefox security manager may veto the action and generate an error
atzekalle:
Thanks for the information! It's really a new format (see that the script doesn't choose a format in the select box below the video and it lets you download the file by clicking in the video title). I'll probably add it in the next version

Hi Mindeye,
your script is awsome! :P
Today i read on http://www.kottke.org/08/11/high-quality-youtube-video-hack that youtube provides another 'High quality'! (http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=352277)
Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY&fmt=22 vs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY&fmt=18
The fmt_map is 22/2000000/9/0/115
I tried myself to adjust the script but i failed.
Maybe you can add this feature.
Best regards
Atze

can't this function:
function $gfv(flashVar) {
var retVal;
try {
retVal = uwPlayer.GetVariable(flashVar); // unsafeWindow context
}
catch(err) {
retVal = null;
}
return retVal;
}
just be this:
function $gfv(flashVar) {
return uwPlayer.GetVariable(flashVar) || null;
}
?

does anyone is also geting the preview icon (equivalent to prevent auto download and auto play) instead of the player when selecting the preventing only auto-play? (flash player 10 and version 2008-11-11, but was happening with previous version too...)

Hello, I've been using this script for a while, but could I ask you to make a small change? I use the loopy for youtube script, but the button isn't in the right position unless I add this piece of code:
// Function used to resize video
function resizeVideo(aSize) {
<...>
// Resizes the player
player.style.width = newW.toCSS();
player.style.height = newH.toCSS();
// Resize the player div too!
playerDiv.style.width = newW.toCSS();
<...>
}
(if this will break the script for any non-loopy users, then I can live with manually putting it in every time you update the script)
Also, Yousabletubefix seems to break playlist autoplaying, any idea why? (anyone else have this problem?)

Script updated:
- The chrome promotion box is now removed
- Added option to not automatically scroll to the video on page entry (it scrolls to the video by default)
- Dropped full and fullscreen resize options: max does a similar job and it's configurable as default size, the Youtube page that provides their functionality doesn't seem to work ok and they were mainly leftovers from YousableTube code

I'm using Flash Player 10. Are you using a 10 beta version? Can you reproduce the error in a new Firefox profile?

Actually, i believe it's making my firefox crash...
must be some incompatibility with something.. just don't know what..
edit:
what is the version of yours flash players? mine is 10, so maybe there's some incompatibility with this version of the flash?
edit2:
guess it's a flash player incompatibility with youtube...I turned off all the scripts and it still crashes. :\

In some videos, like this, the prevent autoplay feature doesn't work... is it possible to make it work?

That extension substitutes the player too, with its embedded version (that doesn't automatically autoplay/autodownload). If the video can't be embedded, then it substitutes the player with a plain link. I prefer to substitute the player with a thumbnail in all cases if the user wants to stop both the autoplay and autodownload: it's simpler to code and use, and the feature is consistent (works the same way in all the videos)
Is there any specific reason you prefer the embedded player over the thumbnail?

Mindeye:
I don't know if it is possible with Greasemonkey but there is a Firefox extension that does this. It is called TubeStop. http://www.chrisfinke.com/addons/tubestop/ Unfortunately TubeStop doesn't work with YousableTubeFix.
