FYTE /Fast YouTube Embedded/ Player

Hugely improves load speed of pages with lots of embedded Youtube videos by instantly showing clickable and immediately accessible placeholders, then the thumbnails are loaded in background. Optionally a fast simple HTML5 direct playback (720p max) can be selected if available for the video.

Request for two sites

Hi.

I'd just like to point out two sites on which the script doesn't seem to work:

1) wyborcza.pl (example url: http://wyborcza.pl/7,75410,22192193,filmowy-weekend-wyborczej-5-filmow-o-o-uroczystosciach-rodzinnych.html)

2) vulture.com (example url: http://www.vulture.com/2017/08/twin-peaks-the-return-what-is-the-ring.html)

It would be really nice if You could see if there isn't something that can be done about it. Thanks for all your hard work.

By default the script skips videos with enablejsapi=1 in iframe src URL because this parameter is used to integrate the player into the site. These sites add the parameter inadvertently, by mistake, I guess.

You can disable Safe mode in script's options available in the bottom-right corner of any processed video thumbnail:

Thanks for replying so fast (and providing a solution, of course!).

I had some problems with getting it to work on that first link I provided, probably due to the site's use of lazy-load, but I discovered that if I use the Firefox addon Snap Links in the general vicinity of the video, the regular YT embed morphs into the desired FYTE one. I can live with that.

Anyway, thanks again.
