Title and progress/control bar will not hide in fullscreen #1059

Open Zerathos opened 9 years ago

Zerathos commented 9 years ago

When playing a video in fullscreen, the title and progress/control bars will stay raised no matter how long you keep the mouse still. I'm running version 2.1.7 through Tampermonkey in Chrome version 38.0.2125.104 using the HTML5 player.

I will investigate this issue.

Just a note, I've noticed that if you enable aggressive flash mode the bars will start hiding again, I'm not sure if this will help at all but it's a temporary fix for the time being.

@Zerathos I faced the same today without YTC running and the only way the controls would hide in fullscreen was if you rest your mouse over the progress bar.

I decided to delete my youtube PREF cookie and the issue seems to have disappeared, so if you want to try it out give it a go, but be warned that deleting this cookie will reset your youtube language option (if you changed the default youtube offered) and will bring back the "youtube uses cookies etc. Got it".

Deleting the PREF cookie is only a temporary solution; after playing two videos, the behavior reverts to previous, i.e., progress/control bar and title bar do not disappear regardless of settings in YTC. Either that, or the hiding function is not compatible with HTML5 player.

Same problem existed in 2011 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660352

It's a problem unrelated to YTC. The hiding function is part of the html5 player, not part of the addon. The only thing YTC does is tell the player to hide, don't hide or leave at default the controls hiding option: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#autohide

probably a duplicate of #1058 and it seems like this issue is unrelated to YouTube Center. I will keep this open for a while as this issue contains some useful information.
