Review: OK - script works, but has bugs

§
Posted: 09/03/2018

Script doesn't load when there is "time_continue=digits&" parameter in URL. Potential fix?

When we click "YouTube" logo on embedded player (outside of YouTube) which was already playing some video, we are redirected to URL containing "time_continue=XXX&" parameter in URL which seems to prevent script from showing downloading options.

It looks like it may be caused by code starting from 1411th line which looks like

if(!loc.href.match(/watch\?v=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)/))
return false;

If we change regex to accept optional non-capturing group (more info: https://www.regular-expressions.info/brackets.html#noncap) which will handle "time_continue=digits&" like

if(!loc.href.match(/watch\?(?:time_continue=\d+&)?v=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)/))
return false;

video identifier will still be placed in group 1, so farther code like

var videoId = RegExp.$1;

will still be valid.

Very good! :star:

This will go into the next version (>v1.96).
