YouTube just launched an updated player with built-in resolution options for 360p, 480p, 720p, and 1080p. This has made the script's format selector somewhat redundant, not to mention broken.

So simply, I'm requesting an option to just completely turn off the script's format selector and only use YouTube's.

Sure I could delete the script, but I like its other features as well.

It's very easy to disable the script temporarily. Just right-click the Greasemonkey icon in your status bar and uncheck the script, or go into Greasemonkey options and untick the Enabled box.

Personally, I'll probably still keep this script even with the new YouTube option, as it's the best way to actually download the video files I know of.

Yes youtube offers now menu where you can select different formats. It still dont shows all formats so script selection is way better.

I think there is nothing so big that would need major change or even rewrite of script. Just add 1080p to selection and then i think you should focus on HTML5 so you can switch directly on video page instead of enabling beta mode and when you done disabling it.

HTML5 mode only works in Chrome and Safari due to the use of h.264.

And while YouTube technically doesn't list all the formats, it does list all the medium-to higher ones, INCLUDING 360p. One huge advantage about that is that it knows when fmt=34 is 360p or 240p, or when even fmt=18 is 4:3 360p and fmt=34 is 4:3 480p.

The only formats missing are LQ FLV and at times fmt=18. THESE ARE THE TWO LOWEST QUALITY FORMATS! You're not really missing much, and IMO the availability of fmt=34 (when it's 360p) is much more useful, not to mention the ability to change formats on-the-fly without restarting the video.

So basically the built-in format list is much more flexible than this script. But I still want this script's download links and "don't auto-play or auto-download"

OFFTOPIC: hey, apparently YouTube has lowered their requirements for 1080p. Before it HAD to be at least 1920x1080, so 4:3 content had to be 1920x1440, but now even my originally 1600x1200 4:3 videos have the 1080p format! Yay, no more ridiculous amounts of upscaling XD

Keep Yousable Tube's Format Selector. Just Make it so you can Disable it if you want to because personally I Like to use it instead of Youtube's new Built-in one.

I've actually noticed on a few videos (and this may prove to be ALL videos) that YouTube's internal selector is offering 360p and 480p quality versions for videos that are NOT available by the userscript.

Japzone - that's what I'm proposing. Notice in the title where it says "Option"?
