Review: Good - script works

Excellent

Runs great. Maybe high-quality video as default (or an adjustable setting in the script) would be welcomed. Whatever, counters DailyMotion's obsessional in-video advertisement policy.
Nice work.

The default quality is adjusted to your screen res, if you have a 1080p screen it will be 1080p, if you have a 720p screen it will be 720p, and if you have a 900p screen it will be 720p too, I thought that in that case choosing the lower value was a better quality/bandwidth compromise.

I've updated Dailymotion Raw Html5 Player to version 1.2 and it fixes perfectly the past issue of "some weird bug causing invisible play in background" I had encountered as well indeed.
Great, a true relief for viewing DailyMotion videos, not only preserving from in-video ads but also a swifter rendering of the video as "pure" HTML5.

After the deserved compliments, my wish again of having the option (in the code, like with the 'YouTube HD Override' script) to set video quality default :smiley:
The point is I always have to halt the video on start,
or here with Firefox set HTML Autoplay to disabled (user_pref("media.autoplay.enabled", false);
or have this done with Autoplay Toggle :: Add-ons for Firefox
in order to switch to 1080, moreover because most of the time I view the video in full-screen.

So, Columbo, if you have the time and will to add this option, I believe it would be for all (me included!) all a true improvement :wink:

Anyway, great work!

Great work, Colombo, many thanks :smile: Moreover you've added the download link, corresponding I guess to the displayed video's quality. That's the cherry on the cake!

Just to say, because I use uBlock Origin add-on here on Firefox and that I avoid accordingly as far as possible external calls, that I took the liberty to convert to Base64 the two png files called from imgur.com and insert/replace the data of these two files in the script. Very small data:image/png;base64 but which avoids jumping to imgur.com ...

Many thanks again, Colombo. Really appreciated.

Oh well if you want you can even use unicode characters instead of images ⚙ ⇓
Yes the download button is for the current quality.
Btw does it opens the save dialog when you left click it?
It should be the case but it doesn't seem to work on my firefox, I have to right click save as...

Here with Firefox 46.0.1 left-clicking on the download button opens Firefox's 'Opening ...' which proposes to open the file with my default mp4 reader (MPC-BE), or to save the file. Of course I have the 'media.play-stand-alone' about:config setting set to false (default=true) otherwise clicking on the 'save' button would play the file in the browser's plain html5 layout ...

Enjoying this little gem of yours, really neat. Runs as well on embedded Dailymotion videos. DailyMotion is far behind Youtube because otherwise, given the qality of your script, there would be hundreds of users, believe me. This script has it all, perfect true html5 rendering (hence no in-video ads), video quality, video auto-play, video download, and it all runs excellently. I'm impressed, thanks again for this really nice work.

Just installed ver. 2.2 which runs of course as nicely as before.

I'm taking this opportunity rather to share my good surprise in learning a javascript feature I ignored (I know nothing to scripting to be frank), which is that it is possible to add i.e. required images as
// @resource with label and link, and have those images downloaded once and for all with the script install and kept in the user's dedicated script folder. That's really nice, far better than the base64 in-code addition. You learn every day (basics included).

Colombo (like in the TV series!), I'm enjoying your script increasingly with time!
