Thanks for the update, it seems to be working ok =)

Just a doubt, is this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B8izaDUXm0 loading HQ automatically for any of you guys? It does only when I add &fmt=18.
Does that mean that this script has lost its capability to load HQ automatically for ALL videos? Can anyone do something about it? u.u

o.O?

Thanks.

Ps: - That is just a random video XD!
- Other videos do load automatically HQ.

No, it doesn't load it automatically. Happens to me on some videos as well, but mostly it works fine.

I remember some time ago ALL videos loaded as HQ automatically U_U. However, as you said mostly it works fine.

No, I tried it just now... compare what my script loads on this page:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B8izaDUXm0

to this page:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B8izaDUXm0&fmt=18

The fmt=18 page is blurrier and the audio is distorted. If you want, I can make the fmt=18 page to load the superior fmt=35 quality that is available.

Oh, seems like fmt=18 is loading a lower quality video and the one without it is better O.o''' Does ur script choose the best quality? So when a video doesn't load HQ automatically this means that this quality is better than adding fmt=18 wich will cause that the video loads a (even)lower quality video?

Or Am I totally wrong? O,o!

Pd: It seems like there's no fmt=35 quality available for this video O.o'

The script used to work by adding fmt=18, but now it checks the "fmt_map" to see the variety of formats which are available, 35 and 22 (HD) being the very best.

Assuming that you're on the page without an fmt=## supplied, the script will get you the highest available quality.

Do you think I should extend the ability of the script to fmt=# pages too? What if someone wanted to see the fmt=## version (since they visited it)? idk

Lets see if I understood. So the script does choose the best quality available automatically (even if the HQ button is not "on") oh, so good =)

I don't like adding fmt=18 to every video I want to watch that's why I use your script. If your script can get us the highest available quality ppl should forget about adding any fmt=##, if they do they r going to get the fmt=## version they've choosen, I think xD!

So you don't need to extend the ability any further than making it load the highest quality available without us adding anything. Keep it automatic.

Correct me if I'm wrong, my English sometimes makes me say crazy things XD!!! jhahjajha

well if adding fmt=## version for letting know what is the highest quality possible it would be better not to show on the browser address but instead somewhere around in the pages content.

Is it possible you can fix it so it loads/plays when your firefox tab is not selected when using the playlists.
Atm it switches to the video but it refuses to load/play before i click on the youtube tab.
It has this issue quite a while now and would like see a fix for the next major update or so.
