Changelog

[3.4] - 2024-08-21

Fixed

• Manual Pause Issue: Resolved a bug where users were unable to manually pause videos after the script automatically skipped ads. The manualPause state now properly resets when switching or auto-playing videos, allowing users to pause videos as expected.
• Auto-Play Handling: Enhanced handling for auto-played videos to ensure that the script does not interfere with manual pause functionality when new videos start playing automatically.

Updated

• DOM Observation: Introduced a MutationObserver to track changes in the video player DOM, ensuring that the manualPause state resets correctly when a new video is loaded, whether by user interaction or auto-play.
• Event Listeners: Added event listeners for play and pause events to better manage the manualPause state, improving overall user control over video playback.

General Improvements

• Improved overall stability and functionality of the script by ensuring proper playback control across different video states.
