The 200% zoom does not work at all on non HD videos, makes videos look very small.
Fix:
Change application/x-mplayer2 to application/x-ms-wmp

Thank you keenen, I was itching for a solution to that problem. Thanks for presenting it to me.

Script has been updated!

As for you crackedvenom. Explain "not working"

What are the symptoms? Describe it.

Well my problem is that when the video starts I get caught in a buffering loop. That is, the buffering percentage may change from 16% to 58%, then to 96%, then to 58%, then to 75%, then to 98%, then to 30%, and so on. It happens for at least 20-30 secs before stopping and the video will play straight threw...

To Whomp.

That happens with lower bandwidth connections.

Right click the video, and click options

Make sure
Detect Connection Speed and Use Default Buffering are selected

it started working after that, but now it plays for a couple seconds and stops. also, i like the wmp skin better than the new one, any chance of getting that back?

Chances are you have another media player installed (VLC?) Just go into the addon manager of Firefox and disable the VLC addon (Might be under plugins)

idk i guess somethings screwed up on my computer. now that window doesnt even show up and all the videos i click say This video is not compatible with YouTube - Windows Media Player
Please click "Disable WMP" below.

The latest version has adequate detection of compatible videos. I'm going to try to come up with a workaround if too many of these "Incompatibles" pop up for me, (Or others.)

No problem cracked.

I have been updating the script a LOOOOT recently, because YouTube has been changing ever so constantly.

I'm still finding incompatible videos, and compatible ones that I have to update the script for. lol

Thanks to help from JoeSimmons, I have developed a way to check if a Video is compatible that is 99% foolproof

It makes my firefox crash (freeze) lotsa times (like every third video) since the last couple of updates. not sure if its caused by the script or WMP/codecs? Is there any way to install older versions to test it out???

I get constant (once in a 3-5 times) crashes too: especially when closing/redirecting_from the youtube page.
And yes, it's possible to use old version of the script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/versions/55399

That bug only occurs when you try to play back the video when it's not done buffering.

Bug report: A new version of the YouTube script for Windows Media Player is available. Installing these updates is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Do you wish to update at this time? (Restart is NOT Required!)If you don't update, this message will appear on each video"

I install, and this happens every single time no matter that I am installing it. I also installed the w7 plugin from the front page here. Doesn't help.
