< Rückmeldungen auf Youtube: expand description and long comments; show all the replies
Working for me, but not working for you because your account got an amended UI, I suppose. Unfortunately, I can fix it only when Youtube desides to apply new UI to my account too.
Sorry, I didn't explain clearly. It seems that only the YouTube description expansion is not working properly.
Cannot reproduce it. Could you please give me a link to any video where description expansion is not working properly?
I recorded a video and uploaded it to YouTube:
https://youtu.be/eJ5RAJ7_Gck
In the video, you can see that the YouTube description doesn't expand, but the comments can correctly expand in their entirety. (Without installing a script, it is not possible to expand all the comments.)
I see. My 1st guess was that maybe the language is the reason, but I tried many languages and the script still works. Now I have to check the compatability with other scripts installed in your browser.
P.S. Thank you for the script "Restore Youtube Username", because yt-handles are totally unreadable
I changed the YouTube language setting to English and disabled all other scripts, and the situation remains the same.
Oh, so the only reason I can imagine is the amended UI.
I think I have identified the problem.
In this line:
btnClick = $("div#description ytd-text-inline-expander tp-yt-paper-button#expand[role='button']:not([hidden=''])");
after that,
btnClick.length will be equal to 0
so the .click() event won't be triggered.
I added this part by myself:
var button = document.querySelector('yt-interaction[id="description-interaction"]');
if (button != null) {
button.click();
}
And it worked fine.
Could you take a look for reference?
It's a great idea, thank you. I did not hit on this solution. It works for me too, so I replaced my code by yours.
Please check the new version.
thanks
seems like it's not working?
