Within 2-3 month this addon were useless cause create lags on youtube, all videos loading through time. This is crap plugin for now, half functions was disabled, and other half just don't work, you can watch youtube videos only if you reload page few times, else never ending loading.

Was best plugin, but now its totally broken crap

Bluntly, I don't have a problem with ytc at all. I skip all the beginning and ending adverts (seriously annoyed at being forced to watch a 2 minute advert for a 30 second cat video), and MOST if not all annotations are gone. Once in a blue moon I'll have a small issue with a video being off center, but my fix is either switch to full screen, download and watch later, or click the resize button inside the player twice.

It appears to be caused by some sort of major resource leak.

I am going to crash-test this, but do you or anybody else know which settings in particular is causing problems?

ColonelGerdauf commented 9 years ago

OK, I have done the run through.

It turns out that the YT slows down to a crawl even with default options, and other scripts disabled. So I can only conclude that the issue is with the code of the program itself.

rdamiano commented 9 years ago

I can vouch for this issue.

Huge lag with Youtube on Firefox over the past few weeks. Finally narrowed it down to Youtube Center, as things have been good with it disabled.

Flash or HTML5, same problem. Video starts okay, but either as it buffers (Dash playback on or off, either way) or as I watch it, it becomes laggy. Not the video itself, but the UI and scrolling the page or coming in/out of fullscreen - it's just a lagfest.

I guess I am experiencing the same issue. I think I "captured" the problem with Firebug:

ytc_gen204

On the screenshot you see that with YTC enabled there will be a call to /generate_204 which blocks for 30sec. I didn't see such calls yet when YTC was disabled.

There's always Youtube+ + DownloadYoutube to have close to all options YTC gave you when it was still maintained, the only main differences are these are cleverly programmed extensions and not snail language programming. The only downside to Youtube+ is that it doesn't support Flash playback, only html5.

I can also add that the userscript (Running on FireFox 40beta) increases the memory usage vastly - possibly a memory leak? I can see that the memory usage can increase by 1GB with it installed.
