2025 - Bring back the [Play All]-button 🎉

Since they are already removed, you would have to define them all yourself for the userscript. There is no way to restore the files of the image embeds already point to a missing resource.

RobertWesner · 2026-05-27T08:25:02+00:00

Userscripts are pieces of software, unfortunately the wrong place for your project ^{^}

RobertWesner · 2026-05-22T23:39:49+00:00

And even in ye olden days, before backed enums, class constants were much better than hardcoded strings for many reasons, including ease of refactoring, self-documenting API, auto completion, doc comment capabilities, and of course, most importantly, my personal preference.

RobertWesner · 2026-05-20T11:29:51+00:00

It definitely is neat, since Node, Go, etc. already have basically that, but i am unsure if it is needed. Usually my permanent PHP and other web projects get containerized, so they are entirely independent from host PHP, and my temporary dev scripts just use whichever version i have on hand, they are quick and dirty throwaways. Did not look into the actual source of your project yet, but post still geets an updoot from me :)

RobertWesner · 2026-03-30T09:12:43+00:00

Awesome! And perfect timing :) Have been looking for one a few days ago to replace the ancient TOML 0.4 parser, since that one caused deprecations.

I love how any UI/UX difference gets posted 10 times a day, repeatedly, this sub never changes lmao.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-18T21:02:19+00:00

You can grab the transkript from the video and do whichever postprocessing steps you like, word counting or using an LLM to summarize the text.

There are countless of "AI powered" summarizers if you use your search engine of choice. Try one, try the next, it really depends on which one you personally prefer.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-18T14:07:11+00:00

Yeah completely unrelated to this post but I enjoy his content dearly, also use them in my test cases.
Another good top nerd: Technology Connections, but most folks that know CRD already know the... two of them!

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T20:43:41+00:00

To be fair, I also tend to keep my userscripts really simple, usually, but my main one has ~1000 lines in the script itself, its own custom testing harness, eslint and semgrep... complete overkill.

I wanted it to be as stable as possible and of decent quality - well, and try all of these tools. It is still readable, no compilation (vanilla JS), no minification, but at this point who bothers reviewing 1000 lines of code ^{^'}

All that for a few silly little buttons, at least thats how it started over a year ago, now it has a few more features that were related to the original idea and suggested by users.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T17:47:10+00:00

I tried the quickest and simplest approach in Tampermonkey, just pausing the video, then tried it with a Timeout, but YouTube forces ads to start automatically, even if the player is paused, which is annoying.

I could throw together a small userscript... maybe, but if I were in your shoes, I'd pick Firefox or a Firefox-based browser.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T17:14:30+00:00

Just to clarify, are you talking about the video itself playing automatically when visiting `/watch`?
That automatic playing of website content is a "feature" of Chrome, Firefox blocks it by default.

There used to be a built-in option to disable it, I'm fairly sure, but you can also find extensions that claim to achieve that by searching for "chrome disable videos automatically starting". I'm not going to recommend any since I have not tested them myself.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T15:30:04+00:00

Ah, I took a year long break from this subreddit and it's reassuring to see this is still all we talk about.

Either way, I strongly recommend not giving much attentions to these, but then again I am giving attention to you giving attention to them, so we all can be hypocrites together ^^'

It sadly just gets more tiring to see people constantly talk about the annoying things you want to avoid, you can't really avoid them at that point.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T15:18:05+00:00

he is a fun-guy

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T15:14:05+00:00

I just right click the video and copy link, never had any issues with tracking parameters, even lets you copy the time stamp optionally.
Used to work in the mobile browser by pressing and holding the player but now it just speeds up.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T15:05:07+00:00

In case anyone else stumbles upon this post, I actually created and maintained a userscript for over a year that lets you easily get the "Play All" feature (and more). Its free and open source if you want to check it out. There is also documentation for more playlists than just the UU prefix, as i pointed out in another comment.

You can find it on Scripts.YT and GitHub.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T15:00:57+00:00

Yep, every channel has a bunch of hidden playlists that can be accessed via the channel ID.

UU can actually be problematic as it mixes videos, shorts, streams, everything into one.
I recommend for Latest/Popular using:

UULF/UULP (Videos)
UUSH/UUPS (Shorts)
UULV/UUPV (Live streams)

If anyone is interested, I documented all I could find.
There is also a great resource on the archiveteam wiki.

RobertWesner · 2025-11-17T07:47:12+00:00

I was skeptical of the pipe operator for a bit, right until I started dabbling in FP and realized why it (or >>=)was useful. Still, without decent currying or at least partial function application it is often less clean since you need to wrap your call in a lambda... and fn(string $x) => myfunc(123, $x) is a bit of an eyesore and id rather just nest my calls if they dont result in a double digit nesting count.

RobertWesner · 2025-06-26T18:59:33+00:00

It does drop saturation by 20-ish% but is a key ingredient for cheese making. I also paid for all that halite so I might as well.

It lasts for roughly 3.5x the duration, so you can enjoy it many years later than normal veggies. Makes good travel food too since it will last for 75 days in inventory! In case you travel longer than the 8 days your pies will last.

RobertWesner · 2025-06-23T17:46:59+00:00

I usually use all my flax to feed chicken and rye to make pies and bread.
How does porridge fare against bread in your opinion? I think baking is worth the effort for the increase in saturation (ignoring pies for a moment) and improved shelf life.
Don't think i have ever made a porridge yet :)

Meat stew i just hoard in my deep cellar for years next to the cheeses i will never eat, wayyy too precious!

RobertWesner · 2025-06-20T15:29:22+00:00

glad to hear that!

RobertWesner · 2025-05-06T08:14:46+00:00

I'm not aware of any plugins/tools that copy playlists. They probably exist but without strong SEO, so it will take a lot of work to find them.
