Changelog

Version 2.2 - September 3, 2024

• Logic Rework: Once again, reworked logic behind the script this time to make it more efficient and faster.
• Performance Improvement: The script now identifies and processes videos with valid durations right away, skipping unnecessary checks and making everything run more smoothly.

Changelog

Version 2.1.1 - September 2, 2024

• Text Update: Made a small change to the script's name/description for clarity.

Changelog

Version 2.1 - September 2, 2024

• Live Videos Handling: We noticed that some live videos were getting hidden because they didn't have a duration. In this update, fixed that. Now, any video that’s live (those with "watching" in the views count) won't be hidden, even if it doesn't have a duration.
• Better Handling of 'UPCOMING' Videos: Similarly, 'UPCOMING' videos will still be hidden unless they are live. We made sure that live videos are always visible so you don’t miss out on any live streams.
• Additonal check for Views: "Scheduled": Upcoming or premiere videos typically don't have a specific view count or show the number of people watching. They are often marked with a "Scheduled" tag in the views section, the script hides them now.

Changelog

Version 2

• Script Improvements: Enhanced the script to more consistently hide upcoming/premiere videos in YouTube search results. Previously it was still showing premieres sometimes
• Reinitialization Mechanism: Complete rewrite of logic, simple duration check. Introduced periodic checks to ensure the script remains active, with a decreasing frequency over time to reduce resource load.
• Logging Added (hidden in production): Included console logs to provide feedback on hidden videos and script initialization status. This is just for my debugging purposes, don't worry about it.

Changelog version 1.6 to 1.7 (optimizations), 6 august 2024

Debounced Content Handling: I added a little delay (100 milliseconds) before running the function that hides the videos. This way, it doesn't keep running constantly as you scroll and load more videos. It waits a bit to see if there are more changes, then runs. This should make things smoother and less heavy on your browser.

Selective Observing: Instead of watching the whole page for changes, the script now focuses only on the part of the YouTube page where videos get added (ytd-app). This makes it more efficient because it's not checking unnecessary parts of the page.

Reduced Redundant Checks: By targeting specific elements (ytd-app and its children), the script does fewer unnecessary checks. This means it can do its job faster and with less load on your computer.
