Now you can send a link of the looped part of your YouTube videos, and they will see exactly the same part when they click on that. Think of the various things you can do using this (Annoy people ;) ) 2). Want to listen to a song 10-15 times but not forever and keep on making noise? Set a repeat limit on a song now! 3). You really like the Cosmic Panda version of YouTube. Better Loopy now supports it! Please give feedback for anything you feel - bug reports, suggestions, complaints! - Piyush

Aug 31, 2011 4:57pm Cletus Scriptwright	No bugs to report... works great! Thanks.

Sep 1, 2011 6:17pm shikhanshu User	"link of the looped part" FTW! by the way, any clue why "update extensions now" on chrome won't update better loopy? do you have to something additional to auto-update blfy on chrome? (wish it would show a notification like it does in greasemonkey@firefox)

Sep 1, 2011 9:34pm Piyush Soni Script's Author	Hi Shikhanshu, No, Chrome doesn't allow to use cross domain xmlhttp, so we cannot go to check on the userscripts site if there is an update of the script. I also don't think Chrome updates scripts automatically just as it does for the other extensions(the proper add-ons). I think if you use TamperMonkey for Chrome, it can help you do something like that, but I'm not sure :)

Beneath of other tags, functions and features the following ones are supported: ... - all GM_* functions including: ... * GM_xmlhttpRequest with cross domain support ...

Sep 1, 2011 10:05pm Kyosho User	I noticed a small bug using this with Cosmic Panda. If the setting "Enable playing all videos on page" is disabled, their is a slight UI bug. Part of the like, dislike, and sharing buttons are cut off but you can still click on them. Here's a pic of what I mean http://i.imgur.com/VxzCJ.jpg

Sep 1, 2011 10:21pm Piyush Soni Script's Author	@Cletus, Yes, it does seem to have support for cross domain xmlhttp - so in theory it should work :). My experience with TamperMonkey has not been very great in the past, but I don't know if it has become stable now. Hope So! @Kyosho, Oh! What did I do there! - Will post a fix very soon! Sorry for that.

Sep 2, 2011 6:55am Piyush Soni Script's Author	Kyosho, This is fixed. Please update.

Sep 2, 2011 7:44am Corin User	Thanks for the fix, but I kind of liked how before the like/dislike bar, stats and views were grouped beside the loop bar. I don't mean to be picky. I just like saving space. lol If neither timed loops nor playing all videos on page are enabled, the button is out of view. Also, will your script ever support HTTPS by default? It's really a very simple addition.

Sep 2, 2011 1:22pm Piyush Soni Script's Author	Yup. I know about the extra space it takes. What I did yesterday was just an immediate fix which is less risky - so that at least people are able to see the buttons. I had also tried the other way to save space and it works, but that is too much dependent on YouTube's CSS class names and placement - which keeps on changing so I want to be sure before submitting this change. Wow. YouTube has https. Didn't know about that - adding it is easy as you know. (Why would someone want to watch videos securely? :P Anyway, not my concern other than adding the URL)

Sep 7, 2011 5:10am deathlost User	Nice script man, thats what i was searching for. But i found something, this script don´t work well with Tab mix Plus. If i use tab mix plus, middle mouse button will not work. Thanks.

Sep 7, 2011 3:26pm Piyush Soni Script's Author	Hi deathlost, Where exactly does the middle button not work? My script doesn't do anything with the middle button at all. Is it Tab mix Plus with which the middle button stops working when you have this script enabled? And do you mean when you disable the script it starts working again? I seriously doubt that would be the case, but anything is possible :). Could you please provide more details so that I can try at my end? Thanks...

Sep 7, 2011 3:48pm Cletus Scriptwright	Looks like Tab Mix Plus had a compatibility issue with GM 0.9.10 and a workaround is in for GM 0.9.11. This is probably an issue with Tab Mix Plus though. Greasemonkey HEAD + Tab Mix Plus incompatibility

Sep 7, 2011 4:29pm Piyush Soni Script's Author	Cool. Looks to be the same issue deathlost is talking about. Thanks Cletus!

Sep 14, 2011 7:31pm jimmyeatsquaids User	hey guys, better loopy doesn't seem to work anymore...i haven't been using the loop feature in a while, so i don't really know what caused it to stop working. currently I'm using win 7 64 bit, firefox 6.0.2 and the latest version of better loopy (sep. 2, 2011) and it doesn't seem to work...anyone else with this problem? i couldn't find a topic online where anyone is complaining about this, so I'm suspecting it is not a youtube update, that's been causing this...

Sep 14, 2011 10:38pm Piyush Soni Script's Author	Hi jimmyeatsquaids, It's working fine here. I have almost the same system configuration as you(though that should not be the reason anyway). Do you not see any UI as well? or it just doesn't work? I have just tried it with cosmicpanda or without it, and it's working in both of them. Do you have any conflicting add-ons/scripts? Also, if nothing works, you might want to temporarily try it with a clean firefox profile.

Sep 15, 2011 10:42am jimmyeatsquaids User	@Piyush Soni: thank you very much...silly that i didn't try deactivating plugins -.- i fixed the problem...the add on that caused this is "HTTPS Everywhere 1.0.1", when you activate it, the loop button on youtube videos shows up, but has no functions...when you click on it, it turns red like it should but no video loops.if you click on "settings" for better loopy the UI doesn't pop up,in fact nothing happens at all when you do that. well anyway, problem solved, still strange how this add on affects better loopy :/

Sep 15, 2011 3:24pm Piyush Soni Script's Author	It is because HTTPS everywhere is not really supposed to work everywhere :). (http://www.eff.org/https-everywhere)

Sep 16, 2011 8:21am Corin User	I have HTTPS Everywhere installed and use SSL on Youtube, but have no such issue. I do, however, have that same exact issue if Cosmic Panda is activated and I'm using this (https://www.userscripts.org/scripts/show/101753) script, so I'm a bit confused right now.

Oct 31, 2011 10:07pm Lunatrius Scriptwright	The script works just fine over HTTPS for me. In fact, I have to manually edit the script every time there is an update because HTTPS isn't included.

Nov 5, 2011 6:07am Corin User	I believe both Greasemonkey and Scriptish have 'user includes' functions. I just do that.

Nov 5, 2011 9:49am Piyush Soni Script's Author	Since Youtube has it inbuilt for quite some time now, I will include the https versions of links in the script itself.
