Greasy Fork

Hello,

I installed your script to see exactly what it would do for the YouTube Leftbar Subscription.
I thought that the "Show More" would be extended automatically, but it didn't work.
On the other hand this function really works -> Display the number of updated & total links following the "SUBSCRIPTION" section label.

In addition, the YouTube Leftbar Subscription Links are redirected to the channels homepage but not to the channels videos page.
Only, I have been using for a while the extension 'Improve YouTube!' on Chrome -> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/improve-youtube-video-you/bnomihfieiccainjcjblhegjgglakjdd

It allowed me to open YouTube channels to their videos pages directly, but since that I installed your script this function doesn't work anymore :-(
Unfortunately, all the YouTube Leftbar Subscription Links and the YouTube Homepage Channels Links are redirected to their channels homepage instead of channels videos page.
Another function that displayed a button "Scroll to top" everywhere on YouTube also doesn't work anymore :-(

Even if the script is disabled, these problems are always there...

I even deleted and reinstalled the script, but these problems are always there...


Do you have any idea what could be wrong please ?

Thank you for your answer.

Google Chrome Browser with Tampermonkey

optionally uncollapse all updated links which may extend the non collapsible links

Meaning that, if there is no updated links (i.e. links with new videos), the non-collapsible part of the list will not be extended.

In addition, the YouTube Leftbar Subscription Links are redirected to the channels homepage but not to the channels videos page.

That's YouTube's behavior. Not this script. This script actually tried to changed that behavior.

Even if the script is disabled, these problems are always there...

Because this script is not what caused it in the first place. It's YouTube's code that has changed - which broke the functionality of both that browser extension anf this script. Websites code changes all the time. Do not expect them to stays the same, even if there's no noticable visual difference.

Hello,

Okay, I understand and thank you very much for the explanations.

Hello,

Sorry again for the inconvenience, but I would like to know if for you the YouTube Leftbar Subscription Links are redirected to the channels videos page please ?

The script is already configured to do that by default. Make sure to use the latest version, since the older ones are not yet adapted to the current state of YouTube site.

Actually, I'm on the latest versions of Google Chrome and Tampermonkey with your last script 1.3.25.
But unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.

So I would like to know how I can modify your script without errors to disable the redirection function to the channels videos page and to the channels homepage please ?

On the other hand, now when this extension 'Improve YouTube!' on Chrome -> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/improve-youtube-video-you/bnomihfieiccainjcjblhegjgglakjdd is enabled it's work.
It's to avoid conflicts between your script and this extension.

Moreover, the other functions of your script work for me.

I don't see any conflict when tested with that browser extension, with its default settings. The conflict may have been caused by specific combination of its settings. Post the exported settings of that browser extension so that I can test it with the same settings as yours.

Sorry, but do you have an idea of how I could send you a json file on Greasyfork please ?
Because I can only send images...

You can post the JSON file to pastebin.com.

Here are some images for YouTube Channels links redirected to the channels videos page in the meantime.

That extension already has a function to change the default channel page. That function itself conflicts with the one from this script. The functionality of this script can be disabled in the script code, but the functionality from that extension can not be disabled. This is not fixable from my script. I could only suggest that you post a feature request for an option to disable the default channel tab of that extension.

Okay, it's possible to know what I need to modify in the script to disable this functionality please ?

Change the true word to false at line #18. i.e. to:

var changeLinksURL         = false;

Keep in mind that, that setting defaults to true in the script. If the script is updated, you'll have to modify that setting again.

Thanks a lot :-)

Hello,

When your script is enabled with this script https://greasyfork.org/fr/scripts/446954-youtube-expand-description-and-long-comments-show-all-the-replies, the left menu is displayed as follows since YouTube's summer changes on my side like the screenshot shows.

I use this 2nd script for expand the list of subscriptions. So in the hope that these 2 scripts will work together again, do you think that you can find a solution or would you like me to contact the developer of the other script according to you please ?

Thank you again for your answer.

Sorry, I don't understand what the problem is exactly.

Your script and the 2nd script mentioned above work together on the YouTube Leftbar Subscription. The other script totally expand the list of subscriptions without clicking on show more.

When the 2 scripts are enabled together, the YouTube Leftbar becomes offset...

YouTube Leftbar normal

YouTube Leftbar offset

No, sorry. That problem is caused by that other script, since it's the one which expands the list. You can test it yourself by disabling/uninstalling my script. So, I won't fix bugs in other people's scripts.

Do you think that you can also add a option to expand the list of subscriptions in your script as it works on the YouTube Leftbar Subscription or you don't find it useful for you and your script ?

I don't personally need it, but it's still within the context of my script. The script has been updated for that.

Thanks a lot again because all working very well now and it's very super :-)
