Greasy Fork

Hello,

I had just discovered your script before your reply here

Unfortunately the versions 0.1.1, 0.1.7 and 0.1.12 never worked for me :-(

Neither in the community section of a channel nor in the comments under videos.

I've even disabled all the scripts that I use for YouTube without success... Tried on normal and portable Chrome.

So I'm confused and I wonder if I've understood the purpose of your script, because I thought if I'm not mistaken that the @ should become the username as before...

In addition, I don't understand what's wrong with me and I have no idea :-(

Thank you for your answer.

Google Chrome Browser with Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey

Um. I have tested it should work in Google Chrome, Edge, Opera, Firefox, with Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey

What is your browser version? Is it already the latest version?

Right click the YouTube page, in the context menu click Inspect, any message or error in the console?

Remember to Press Ctrl-Shift-R to full reload the youtube page after this script is enabled.

Also, in the Inspect window, click "Network" tab.

Can you found those lines under Initiator = Restore Youtube .... ? Are their response "200" like my screenshot?

After several new tests these last hours,
I'm no longer confused at all, because I've found the culprit...
It's because of this extension for Chrome that was recently updated -> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/improve-youtube-%F0%9F%8E%A7-for-yo/bnomihfieiccainjcjblhegjgglakjdd

So really sorry for the error and for the inconvenience, because your script works very well everywhere on YouTube ;-)

After all, every extension and every script are trying to work as best they can on YouTube lol.

I'm glad now that I know a little better about the current situation...

Otherwise as I'm running Windows 8.1, Google Chrome forced me to stay on their version 109 :-(

On the other hand, I don't have Initiator = Restore YouTube Username from Handle to Custom when 'Improve YouTube!' 🎧 (for YouTube & Videos) is enabled or disabled...

From my understanding, Improve YouTube is a popular extension but it changes the layout a lot. It is not recommended to use it because its update is not fast enough to chase the change of YouTube's layouting. YouTube is doing their changing every 2~3 month.

I believe the "@username" will be changed again afterwards.

I have installed Improve YouTube! to test but no issue can be found. Can you export your settings and give it to me so that I can find out what happen?

Just found that if this is set to Videos, this script will no longer works. Please try to change the settings in "Channel" to see whether the issue gone.

Try This:

• Default Home
• Trailer autoplay ON
• Play all OFF
• hide featured content OFF

Problem solved. Update to 0.2.0 please.

I hope all this can help you...

Thanks. I have tested the version 0.3.0 with your setting. Should have no compatibility issue.

Thank you so much for your kindness and for all your work ;-)
It's very nice to you.

Now, everything is working on my side so far.
