Hi!!!
First of all THANK YOU!!! Your script is awesome :D
Is Very, VERY USEFUL!!!

I was searching for something like this, but I had to find and edit (customize) more than thrice scripts at the same time to get someting similiar, but not as complete as your work. So Congratulations and Cheers!!!

Now, the topic... I'd like to change my vids to "high" quality by default when possible; maybe you can add a little option to use the code "&fmt=" when a video is about to load.

Also, I'd like to choose between skins from your script, for example:

· "YouTube White" (default, no changes)
· "Dark Gray Redesign (vC)" (userstyles script) http://userstyles.org/styles/1078

Other thing that I'd like is the possibility to know if there are updates for this script when I go to YouTube. I know that there are some scripts with this function and it's called like "Auto-Update",

Finally, I wish you happiness and successes on these holidays and, obviously, for the next year.

Not to plug anybody else's script on here, but this one was recommended for me when I ran into the same problem.

YouTube HQ + 720p Revised [dec 2008] [+autoplay off option]
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/31864

You may have to tweak the options. I don't remember what it actually is by default (you may have to turn on the HD option), but it will check for the highest quality video available and immediately change to that. Works fine with this YouTube Googler plugin.

Yes, the YouTube HQ script would seem to be the best way to go for high quality video. I might add an option in the future, but that script works well enough for now.

Ages ago, for the first iteration of this script before YouTube totally overhauled its layout, I made an adaptation of one of the Dark YouTube themes on userstyles.org to work with YouTube Googler. I doubt very much that it still works with all the changes but I think it is still on the site. Anyway, I have not used the userstyles plugin in awhile, but I'm pretty sure it allows you to enable and disable styles from a little popup menu on the bottom right of the status bar.

As for auto-updates, that is the very next thing I intend to add. I was originally going to add it along with the recent bug fix update, but figured I should just get the script out as soon as possible as the recent YouTube changes left it kind of broken.

Thank you so much for your replies, but unfortunately I couldn't make that Script working well, so I'm using the Script called "Youtube Automatic Fmt=18 Adder".

Look: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/31864

I know that's quite old, but worked for me.

One more time, thanks for replying me. I'm quite newbie and all of these things are awesome for me.
I thing I'm loving Firefox!!! :D
