BTW, do you know why < blockquote > doesn't seem to be working in comments anymore?
It works, it's just invisible.
Install my script here and it makes them look nice. Also a faster Stylish version here.

Btw avg, I like the old player because you can click anywhere on the player to start it... the new one you have to click right on the button. Also I like the seeking more on the old one, it seems more precise.

testing

it seems to work, but the "greenish" css is completely gone.

Even shorter code is: USES THE PLAYER ON THE PAGE

with(document.getElementById('movie_player'))
{
	setAttribute("flashvars","autoplay=0&"+getAttribute("flashvars"));
	src+="#";
}

this allows you to use the new player as well, instead of switching to the less attractive older one.

Ok I tested this code and it works fine: USES THE OLD PLAYER

	  with(document.getElementById('movie_player'))
	  	{
	  	src="/player2.swf?"+getAttribute("flashvars");
		setAttribute("flashvars","iurl=http%3A//img.youtube.com/vi/"+/v=([^#&]+)/.exec(document.URL)[1]+"/default.jpg");
		src+="#";
		}

did you try out my other code suggestion? i tried it and it works on this end.

This script can be shorter:

var $=function(x) {return document.getElementById(x)}, 
    fvars = $('movie_player').getAttribute('flashvars'),
  getArg=function(arg) {
     return (new RegExp(arg+"=([^&#]+)").exec(fvars)||[,''])[1];
  },
 vidID = getArg('video_id'), l=getArg('l'), t = getArg('t'); 

$((/\/user\//.test(document.URL) ? 'profile' : 'watch') + '-player-div').innerHTML = '<embed id="movie_player" flashvars="&rs=1&sn=1&hl=en&iurl=http%3A//img.youtube.com/vi/'+vidID+'/default.jpg"'+
'type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="/player2.swf?video_id='+vidID+'&t='+t+'&l='+l+'"'+
'height="395px" width="480px"></embed>';

Haven't tested it at all, but I'm assuming it should work.

But one question: Why don't you just port the flashvars directly over, instead of extracting bits and pieces? Better yet, why don't you just search for the <embed>, and change the src directly?

For example, wouldn't :

document.getElementById('movie_player').src='/player2.swf'

I second ekbworldwide's idea. Videos on a user's profile should also not automatically play.

Could you add the ability to stop profile videos from auto-starting?

Nice. Could you possibly make a script that will just pause the video when it starts, so it loads but doesn't play right away? In other words, could you make this script have the video load but not play yet?

Very helpful script indeed! Thanks a lot, mate!

this script doesn't work with opera 9.51

Awesome script, very useful. Thanks Yansky!

thank you work great...

Hi, developers.

I would like to make a suggestion about YT Prevent Autoplay:

When this feature is marked/enabled, the Prevent Autoplay works fine, but I will be thankful if the video continues loading automatically, like paused or something...

hi yansky, it's a great script here
just have one annoyance though,
when i click on the big arrow in the middle of the video to start it, it opens it up in another tab...
ie. i'm being forced to use the small arrow in the bottom left..

not a huge problem, but still a bit of an annoyance

any way to fix that?

Yeah, thank you Yansky.
