I'm one of those guys that had a lot of playlists like over 100 may 200, and the scrip times out in Chrome and in FF the script no longer a-z's the playlist. I know you are bussy but if you get a chance could you please look into it. Thanks Man. |

timing out? wow, interesting... can you tell me after how many seconds it times out? so just to get an idea... then I'll check my script again, and maybe tell you which line to modify or update it directly... let me know |

I started having the same problem as Ethan last night, I have 300+ lists. I installed the script about 2 weeks ago. I've looked everywhere online and this is the only place I've seen it mentioned, plus there's no other new scripts for this issue.

I don't know how to help you because I don't have so many playlists. If you want you can send me, privately, your account login+password so I have an account to test it with, but you know this is not a good idea, generally speaking. If you trust me, my email is firepol80 (at gmail). Else try to edit the greasemonkey script (greasemonkey - manage user scripts - right click on my script - edit) find this line: " setTimeout('initSortLists()', 100);" try to replace 100 (100ms) with a higher value, e.g. 400. I can't promise it will work, just try... |

I just noticed, literally minutes ago that either YouTube added the feature or your script was revised and updated in the background for me. I'm a little puzzled now, reading this new thread to know which is the case, and the action is kind of up in the air right now. I did notice though, when I first saw the dropdown menu in this screencap (let me know if there's a privacy block) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7ktoPWaG9Ng/... That when I dropped my number of playlists from 100 to 99 that the lists began to sort as described in the menu shown there. Edit: I just updated to the latest version so it seems that with recent changes the older version started to work somewhat. Now that they've actually added those sorting options as a stock feature, the main useful function of this script would seem to be to use the space available in a more efficient layout? Things are probably in flux right now, though, so it might be wise to wait for relative stability before doing much further tweakage? Sidenote: I really want to study this code and finally come to grips with what I'd need to know to start writing some userscripts myself. I can more or less follow the code but my head starts hurting every time I try to get a grip on DOM Manager and sort out just what I don't already know that I'd need to learn to start feeling like I have a grip on how to code these things. Suggestions for starting points are welcome, especially for someone generally familiar with various programming languages going back to FORTRAN, BASIC and up to roughly c++ with some light experience playing with Python, but no great depth when it comes to Javascript and some of the basic concepts of more complicated web page coding. |
