YouTube Auto-Resume

Seamlessly continue any YouTube video exactly where you left off. This script automatically saves your playback position and features intelligent playlist handling: your progress within a playlist is saved separately for that playlist, keeping it distinct from your progress on the same video watched elsewhere. It also handles Shorts and video previews with unique rules, and automatically cleans up old data.

Review: Good - script works

There's a bug when using youtube's miniplayer (the one when you press 'i' while a video is playing).

The script causes the playback position to jump back to the start of the video when entering the miniplayer. Additionally, if I let the video play for a while in the miniplayer, then expand it back to the full video, the script restores the old playback position from before I started using the miniplayer.

Bug confirmed. The described issue can be consistently replicated on playlists; Setup agnostic. Thanks for the report, will fix soon.

Alright the bug should have been fixed (v1.7.4).
It was mostly my fault but YouTube's miniplayer seems to be also bugged currently. If toggled on top of a shorts video, would also cause playback progress to reset when entering miniplayer mode, but is an entirely seperate issue. I added something to fix that too but who knows when YouTube will break it again.
