Counterintuitive behavior for 'Enable annotations' #2172

Open Starfox opened 8 years ago

Starfox commented 8 years ago

So the options is checkbox called "Enable annotations"

When the checkbox is checked it turns OFF annotations in videos by default When the checkbox is unchecked it turns ON annotations in videos by default

So 'Enable annotations' turns OFF annotations when it is turned ON, is that counterintuitive to anyone else?

On or off it doesn't do anything for me they are always on

Starfox commented 8 years ago

Yea or that, disabling annotations is just plain broken in youtubecenter

For me on Chrome, I have Enable Annotations unchecked and they are still enabled for videos that have annotations. This is very annoying as I have to disable annotations for every video that I watch.

It's worth noting that this annotations problem is only for HTML5 player. If user switches to flash player (we talk about Chrome browser) then show/hide annotations checkbox turns on/off annotations correctly.

It's me again. I'm using Build#538 on Chrome with Tampermonkey and I've fixed annotations problem. It turns out that disable/enable annotations checkbox shows up at three different places! It should be turned off at all of them. It's:

Only then annotations won't show up in HTML5 player for Chrome/Tampermonkey/Build#538

I know there is 3 places and they have always been unchecked yet still get them

Yes, this functionality is broken in YTC but YouTube lets us control annotations too. Go to Account Settings > Playback and uncheck Show annotations and in-video notifications.

I actually wish that YTC pulls this setting out to the YouTube bar itself, right next to Closed Captions, as I often feel the need to enable them just for the video I'm watching and going through the menu is slow. The video often ends by the time I enable it.
