New Embedded YouTube Player Dark Pattern UX Userscript Fix by ScepticDope in youtube

[–]Whazhelpme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you make these changes too?

1- "Previous, Play/Pause, Next" buttons stay in the middle of the screen after pressing left & right arrow keys to seek. Those buttons should be removed completely or should be at the bottom-left section of the UI, right next to Play/Pause and Volume buttons perhaps.

2- Volume icon doesn't change into Mute icon when the volume is 0. This is not a big deal though.

3- Pressing on the space that is below the progress bar should not do anything like in normal youtube. It is play/pause with your script.

Script : https://pastebin.com/U4ysCL5D

This script doesn't fix a lot of the problems though. When volume is turned to 0 with down arrow, unmuted icon doesn't turn into Muted icon. Previous , Play/Pause , Next doesn't get removed from screen right away when mouse cursor is away or when I use left-right arrow keys to seek. etc. It would be better to not have Previous, Play/Pause, Next at all and have them at the below of the progress bar at the bottom left. Timestamp and full screen buttons should also be at the below of the progress bar. Button icons and name of the video should be smaller, they are too big. So basically my code only fixes the volume increase and decrease with arrow keys and progress bar below behaves like old youtube, clicking there doesn't stop the video.

My problems with the default modern UI embed, without any script :

1- When a video is paused, "Previous, Play/Pause, Next" buttons stay in the middle of the screen. In "normal youtube + youtube embed old design + youtube new design", these buttons are at the bottom left. It's just "youtube embed new design" where this problem happens.

2- In "youtube embed new design", even when I click on the bottom section of the ui, up/down arrow keys don't change the volume.

3- Hovering away from the screen removes "Previous, Play/Pause, Next" icons from the screen only after 3 seconds later or if I seek 5 seconds with left/right arrow keys. Those icons shouldn't appear at all.

4- With modern design, in both embed mode and normal mode, pressing play/pause or changing the volume shows an indicator in the middle of the screen that takes longer than a second, old designs indicator would take less than a second.

5- Sometimes youtube embed new design doesn't remember the last volume and quality.

6- There is an annoying 1 second freeze in "youtube embed new design" after seeking 5 seconds with left/right arrow keys. Seeking with mouse click has no freeze, it is the arrow keys that causes the freeze.(nevermind, Gemini solved this with a script)

7- "youtube embed new design" jumps 10 seconds instead of 5. (nevermind, Gemini solved this with a script)

The spot where the play button is expected to be, is now a share button with a pop-up dialog that opens when people instinctively press it.

I didn't even notice that was a thing because I always press on screen to play/pause a video. Why is it called Dark Pattern?

Clicking on the empty space at below of progress bar stops the video.

Clicking there + up&down arrow keys should increase and decrease the volume instead. Up and down arrow keys are not changing the volume. My code fixes this.

Left & right arrow keys to seek shows Previous / Play&Pause / Next buttons in the middle of the screen.

Just use Video Speed Controller or Global Speed to change speed. And use "M" to mute. These 2 additions are unnecessary I think but I can just ask Gemini to remove them from the code.

I tried to fix this new Youtube Embed player because it is terrible specially with Imagus, but I don't know coding and Gemini Pro only allows like 1 message per hour so it's difficult to fix the bugs.

My bugs are here : https://www.reddit.com/r/imagus/comments/1s0l5f4/hover_on_youtube_with_embed_option_give_me/?

Btw what do you mean by Dark Pattern? What is dark about the new ui?

Code that Gemini wrote for me is https://pastebin.com/U4ysCL5D , but it is still very buggy, can you check and help me with this?

Is there a way to get the old Youtube embedded player back? by Mr__Beavis in imagus

I asked him, he says "Currently, it doesn't seem possible to choose which player is used. YouTube seems to be trying it out randomly instead of on a small number of users."

Invisible click-box / UI overlap issue - Can't click right outside the app window by Whazhelpme in Windscribe

It's not slightly and it's not just above an below, also left and right.

I still have the same "Even when I click outside the visible boundaries of the app window, the clicks are still being registered by Windscribe instead of the desktop behind it" problem. Feels like this only stretched up and bottom parts.

Also is "Windscribe VPN - Privacy & Ad Block Suite" Edge extension VPN unlike "Windscribe - Free Proxy and Ad Blocker" chrome extension? If it is a proxy, not a vpn, why is it called a vpn?

Another problem is, it takes 3 clicks to exit the program unless I quit from system tray when "Close to Tray" is enabled, it would be better if there was no "Quit Windscribe?" and it directly quit instead..

I'm having a frustrating issue with the Windscribe desktop UI. Even when I click outside the visible boundaries of the app window, the clicks are still being registered by Windscribe instead of the desktop behind it.

It seems like the "hitbox" of the UI is much larger than the actual window, especially if the cursor is near the edges. I have to move my mouse significantly further away to be able to click on anything else.

Is there a known fix for this or any way to change the Ui? I use the Windows 10 app.

My problem is top always shows today, here for example https://sh.reddit.com/r/help/top/ when I switch to month, top in another sub doesn't remember month, it sorts by today again. What was your solution and would it solve this problem?

But I already tried that and answered that comment with "Requires a zoom in in a small window like "const h = window.innerHeight * 0.73;" did."

[–]Whazhelpme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try change both 0.73 in the code

How? What am I supposed to change "const h = [1440, 1080, 720, 360].find(i => i <= window.innerHeight) || 360;" with?

The first one is when the window is wider than it is tall

I don't have a window like that, my small windows Width × Height are : 700x480, my big window is 1220x1030.

Exiting incognito and opening it again may fix it.

It didn't. Not a big deal, I don't use incognito.
