They made it possible to pause the video by clicking on it now. Anybody else?

You're correct! Woot! No need to worry about click bugging out now.

Yep. The tab and playlist issue is also fixed now (which I kinda miss).

The controller bar is broken, though.

You forgot to remove:

player.setAttribute("wmode", "opaque");
and
if (player.getAttribute("wmode")!="opaque") return;

which fixes it.

I need to keep that though... without it, the options dialog is behind the player. What do you mean by the controller bar is broken?

Well, it doesn't seem to want to register me pressing the play button anymore, for instance.

Do you guys have duplicate copies of my script installed or something? Please check... I've tried on multiple computers, browsers and linux, and various versions of windows; it seems to be working fine.

Maybe it's an add-on that's conflicting with it; I see you fellas are running Firefox + Windows. Using ff 3.5.2, yeah?

No duplicates, and I doubt any extension is to blame. I've got Adblock, British English Dictionary, Copy and Go, Define, Greasemonkey, Menu Editor, MR Tech Toolkit, Paste and Go, RAMBack and Stylish. I've disabled other scripts, too.

I've tried the default version of the script now (as you know, I use a custom one without the options menu, so I have no problems by removing the above code), and the same thing happened. The only time the controller bar worked was when I used the fit to window option?

FF 3.5.2, yes.

Same here. Clicking anywhere on the player (including it's controls) will pause/unpause the video. Also I've noticed, that when cursor is over the player it's always is "hand" (like over a link), but if you scroll the page, then only part of the player gets "hand" cursor when hovered over.

My settings:
Hide Warnings - on
Enable colors - on
Use HD - on
Autoplay - on
Autobuffer - off
Hide annotations - off
Big mode - on
Snap back - on
True 720p - off
Fit to window - on
Jump to player - on
Loop - off
Automatic Cinema - off
Total Black - off
Collapse everything - off

[EDIT]
Little more info:
The players controls work when I scroll the page so the top of the player is right against the top of the window (by default it automatically scrolls down to the video's name. When I scroll further down (only bottom half the player showed), then I must hover over about the middle of the visible video to be able use the controls.

Alright, I confirmed this issue. It happens only when you scroll away. I implemented a fix though, please update and let me know if there are any further issues.

Well, I'm experiencing no problems. I have version 1.0 installed just because it's working fine, maybe when Avindra says: Everything is fixed. I'll install it again lol

Edit: A little thing I've noticed: When I clik the video it appears a pause button in the center of the video and instantly disapears but nothing happens, neither the video pauses nor plays. But when I try to increase volume (buy using the volume button obviously -.-) the video pauses/plays. O.o'

What is wrong xD!

It's fixed now, but the tab issue is back due to player.style.position = "relative";

It seems like you fix one bug, but by doing that, another bug emerges:
You want the options menu to be over the video -> you have to use wmode -> you have to use position="relative" or the controller doesn't work -> by doing that, videos don't play in background tags. Heh. The script works great for me, but others might find the tab issue annoying. It's either that, or show the options below the video, I guess.

LikeNoOther, update to the newest version and your issue will be fixed. It's because YT added that option by default, and by using 1.0 of this script which still has the "pause video by click" option, you're rendering the default YT pause function useless. Version 1.1 removed that part of the code.

I'd update it if there wasn't (more) bugs. There's the tab issue (wich I don't know what it is XD!!!),the controller doesn't working and the menĂº oprtions below the video... I don't know.
That little problem I mentioned isn't annoying me by now. Thanks for ur reply :D

The controller is fixed with the newest (1.1.1) version. The "tab issue" is when you open a video in a new tab, but don't switch to that tab and the video doesn't start until you switch to that tab. Or for example when you're playing videos in a playlist, when it goes to the next video, and you have a different tab opened, the video won't start until you open the playlist tab again. It's in 1.0 as well as 1.1.1 so you have nothing to lose if you update. The menu options below the video was just my suggestion, it's not in the script... There are no new bugs in the newest version, only fixed old ones, so you should definitely update.

You want the options menu to be over the video -> you have to use wmode
This one is false. There some tricks in Firefox 3.* for putting a div over the video with any wmode. (or you can wait for this)

About the tab issues, it's when wmode is "opaque" or "transparent". The only fix is to not use these wmode.

oh wow, v1.1.1 is unusable for me...it creates black area for the player, and at status bar I see bunch of stuff being downloaded, for like 2 minutes, then, when all that stuff downloaded player appears and starts playing..

 
Avindra V.G. Script's Author

If you want V@no, just remove

player.style.position = "relative";

Idk, there's no one-way solution that cures everything.

 
V@no Scriptwright
FirefoxWindows

Yes, that fixed it. Thank you.
it is strange that such style could affect what and how something being downloaded...I mean with that line gone the page finishes loading in a second, player appears right a way. With that line, as I said before, the page continue downloading for up to 2 minutes...

Thanks for your explanation x0rnn =) I use YouTube mostly to collect some HQ videos I like, then I download them to my comp so I don't need to use so much the web of YouTube to watch the videos, maybe to comment on them, specially these days that I've found almost all the videos I wanted so I can wait some time until... whenever there's no more problems =D

If you have a video that u like online on Youtube u should ensure to have it safe or something like this might happen: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=0773B8C... XD!! I have that entire playlist safe and ready to play in my comp while the others are complaining about its deletion. lol *(macabre laughter)* lol lol They can't watch them anymore *^* jahjajhajhajahjajha

I know that that's offtopic but U've gave me an advise, that's mine ^^

Mata ne!

There some tricks in Firefox 3.* for putting a div over the video with any wmode.
I assume you mean without? Then do you mind sharing some of them? :)

 
GIJoe Scriptwright

I mean all wmode (there 5 in total with the flash version 10)...
The default (or without) is wmode="window".

One part of the trick is with the "position" and "overflow" style to force Firefox to use a native widgets.

 
zornn User

I just tried and you're right. You can use position:fixed and overflow:auto on the options menu without using wmode and it'll show over the video. I guess Avindra can fix both the tab and controller issue in one go now.

The border of the options menu still seems to be behind the video, though.

Cool, seems that it's going to be fixed soon =)

Until Youtube mess it up again xD!!!

lol

Sorry guys, but using "Wmode" breaks everything. Currently working on getting rid of it entirely.
