Greasy Fork

The script seems to broke all non livestream/VOD videos. It will give out general "An error occurred. Please try again later. Playback ID:....". Consistently happen on specific youtube brand account on chrome browser so it might be cause by youtube A/B testing. Changing the regex to match live videos only, "https://www.youtube.com/live/*" fixed it for me. idk how to debug so this all i can get :D

The fixed is buggy solution btw, it will not enable script on livestream on /watch?v=... and it still broke normal video that somehow on /live/... link so better use other way to detect is livestream and then enable DVR

Hi there! I think your problem might be related to this.

YouTube is probably serving you server-side ads (SSAP) and since we added a code that tries to block them, in some cases it might break normal videos.

However, matching by URL like you suggested isn't the best solution since YouTube works like a web app, meaning that it loads parts of pages dynamically when you go to the homepage, pick videos, etc. That's why a wide www.youtube.com/* regex is used.

I'll wait to see if more people report this problem. But for now can you please check if this variable is true for you? yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.html5_enable_ssap_entity_id

Actually, no need to wait. Check if the updated v2.4 version works for you.

There's really no need to touch videos that are not Live and have DVR already enabled. So I added some If clauses.

It works perfectly fine now! Thank you so much! :D
