Gets Stuck On Specific Video

Hello!

Lovely work. I just have one problem. Another user mentioned it earlier, actually. There's a specific "cat video" that the script gets stuck on. I have to click manually on the timeline near the end in order to get past the video and to make the next video button appear.

I have taken a screen shot of the offending error, as well as found the source of the video.

Here's the actual video source: http://d30sgs8bp3tq51.cloudfront.net/content/cats/1.mp4

You can see two screen shots here: http://imgur.com/a/LrrdJ (One is of the video and where it freezes, the other is of the source code)

Is there anything you can do?

Edit: Seemingly I wasn't patient enough as the script does correct itself after a period of time. I am satisfied with that, just a minor hiccup. Thank you. It runs well.

thanks for a good bug report. more details = more info i can use to fix it.

in this case, it's because i was being lazy and copying the code i had for fame over to watch when they added content recently. that stupid video is only 3 seconds long, so it gets into some silly loop.

1.1.4 is coming your way with a fix!

Thanks @free21 -- one more thing I noticed. Several of the advertisements in "watch" either start paused or they pause themselves after a second. You can identify this because the play button will appear in the bottom left hand corner and it will become a yellow box with a triangular white play button in the center. I did a pixelsearch and found the color of that yellow. Is there any way you can have it scan the play button area for the color (HEX) #FFE405 and click if it appears?

next time you see that happen, could you also get the css selector of the play button that turns yellow? i think it's a different one for some reaosn.

Ok @free21 I think this should give you the information you need: http://i.imgur.com/ChBWto5.png If you need something else, just let me know.

Seems that every 2~3 videos will have the yellow play button/or the video will be paused until you manually click resume

1.1.5 changes the detection it does before it triggers play. it looks like they changed something to autoplay some of the time, but not all of the time. let me know if you see this still after updating.

@free21 i have done some testing and the newest version is no longer clicking the play button on the initial video where the woman is waving, before it plays the advertisement. can you confirm this?
