Request: Timestamp copy button

[KarmaBeast]

Would be very useful if we had this button from Revanced Extended:

[KarmaBeast]

Is that something you could implement? @arichornlover

[arichornlover]

The problem is how did Revanced implement this? You know uYouEnhanced is iOS, not Android, but I do hope it’s possible to implement this.

[KarmaBeast]

I used this feature so often with my Android. Every day sharing videos to my friends and copying the timestamp of the exact point I want them to see in the video. So when they open the link the video starts exactly there.

It's so damn useful to have.

https://github.com/arichornlover/YouTimeStamp/commit/86f8e0159fe302e3f45c97831d38d84a0dba1883 I couldn’t find the icon that ReVanced used in the screenshot above, also made a new repository, however don’t be excited yet. Nothing has been made in there. There is no functionality to copy the timestamp yet.

[KarmaBeast]

Ok understood. Thanks for keeping me posted. Having this feature would be awesome!

[KarmaBeast]

@arichornlover could you please consider prioritizing this request?

None of my iOS shortcuts are working anymore when I switched over to non-official YouTube (enhanced)

None of these work:

[KarmaBeast]

I already spent so much time trying the iOS shortcuts with enhanced, but they simply don't work anymore.

It appears they only work with AppStore YouTube...

@arichornlover how is progress on this tweak going?

[arichornlover]

Not very far, the last time I did progress was last week. https://github.com/arichornlover/YouTimeStamp/tree/wip, https://github.com/arichornlover/uYouEnhanced/actions/runs/8320563008 I’ve been looking around in YouTube ReVanced’s I did replicate some things using Obj-C but so far compiling the ipa successfully with this Tweak won’t work yet. Which is expected. Also this is what I’m referring to with whatever I’m doing: https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-integrations/blob/07482094a35793797770c8238fc5554395994ae8/app/src/main/java/app/revanced/integrations/youtube/patches/CopyVideoUrlPatch.java#L35

[KarmaBeast]

Any good news on this? 🙏🏻

[arichornlover]

Well no. However, the button seems to be showing but it doesn’t work if pressed, I gotta find a way for that to work.

[aaronliu0130]

@KarmaBeast At least https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/7ecdbce4df394880954cda3b6de5702b works with me

[KarmaBeast]

I believe arichorn will soon implement this idea into uYouEnhanced 🙏🏻

[aaronliu0130]

Yeah, but in the meantime you should be able to summon the shortcut from the iOS share dialog

[arichornlover]

I am now modifying the tweak YouTimeStamp.

branch called YouTimeStamp has been pushed and updated to the most recent commit from Main.

[arichornlover]

Here’s a presentation of the new YouTimeStamp Icon and options!

[aaronliu0130]

Uhh, which one is it? The speedy clock seems like it adjusts the playback speed.

I didn’t have the actual icon that resembles the “copying the Timestamp”, for now the speedy clock icon is a placeholder I guess?

[aaronliu0130]

The copy icon seems to be the copy icon (which hopefully one can find somewhere in YouTube like the share button or in FontAwesome if they're desperate) combined with a clock in the bottom right.

A more complicated implementation would be to also add this in the share dialog.

I think the Share Dialog would be close to impossible since Google made this menu Server-Side ☹️

[aaronliu0130]

Stretch goal here: tweak to skip straight to the native one? :p

Anyways just the button form would be nice!

I think the icon from Revanced in the first post looks nice. Maybe use that?

[KarmaBeast]

It looks awesome. Btw I noticed something. How did you manage to bring down the quality and mute button to the bottom again, and have both visible? This was broken a while ago, and I'm forced to keep the qualify button at the top now....

[aaronliu0130]

I usually associate the menu icon with menus or right click. How about https://fonts.google.com/icons?selected=Material+Symbols+Sharp:content_copy:FILL@0;wght@400;GRAD@0;opsz@24&icon.query=copy&icon.style=Sharp + the clock?

Edit: my deleted comment quoted archorn saying they couldn't find the icon ReVanced used in response to Karma.

[KarmaBeast]

That's essentially the same as this one from Revanced

I have an icon here? very similar I guess but It is hard to see since it is set with the color Black.

[KarmaBeast]

That icon looks bad and weird imo. The one Aronliu shared combined with a clock looks closest to the Revanced icon.

[aaronliu0130]

Like I said, it doesn't tell "copy" to me.

I might aswell try recreating the Revanced version using the copy icon from aaronliu0130

[KarmaBeast]

Looks like a paper and a very small clock. Nothing that would make you think is a copy timestamp button.

[arichornlover]

I just now recreated the Icon using what I had. What do you think?

I think it looks nice, but the clock is too small? Make it a little bigger?

[arichornlover]

how about now?

[KarmaBeast]

Looks pretty good I'd say.

Btw arichorn when are you finally gonna join us on the telegram group uYouEnhanced? Let's discuss things there. Bhackel is also there. We are at 465 members now. Please consider installing the telegram app and joining us! 🙏🏻

[arichornlover]

Here’s what the new icon looks like in the app. I forgot to send this.

[KarmaBeast]

It looks solid imo. Very well done! 👌🏻

(Unfortunately my signing service doesn't let me install new ipas at the moment so I won't be able to test/use it. Hopefully it'll work before you implement it.)

Don’t test the new IPAs, I didn’t implement the button in the Main branch (except for the icon, it exists in it)

However, I do have a branch called YouTimeStamp which has the button implementation (which is unfinished since it doesn’t currently work.)

[KarmaBeast]

Ok got it. Looking forward to the actual implementation ☝🏻

Also can you tell me how you're able to have the quality and mute button both at the bottom again? This isn't working for me anymore and am forced to move the quality button to top...

the fullscreen button is visible, not hidden, which is why it is workimg fine.

workaround: enable the YouTimeStamp icon at the bottom and it will fix the YouQuality button problem 😁

[KarmaBeast]

Oh I see. It was working fine without the fullscreen button, but Miro/uyou changed something few weeks ago and it broke went invisible.

It will? Ok then I will try that when it's out. But it would be nice if these were not dependent on eachother. The fact that when hiding the fullscreen button the quality button at the bottom goes invisible is really annoying 😐

I don't like the fullscreen button and don't need it, since I use swipe gestures to enter/exit fullscreen.

[arichornlover]

I might downgrade the YouQuality tweak. The workaround stopped working whenever I restarted the app ;(

[KarmaBeast]

:sadkarma:😓

I have no freakin clue why Miro updated uYou for no apparent reason ... Tweaks are still broken and now this aswell...

[aaronliu0130]

Veering into off-topic areas here, but...

3.0.3

• Fixed startup crash.
• Fixed minor UI issues.
• Added "Hide Next/Previous Buttons".
• Added "Disable Double Tap To Seek".
• Added "Disable Startup To Shorts".
• Resolved issue where downloaded video/audio files were not being deleted properly.

[KarmaBeast]

3.0.3

• Fixed minor UI issues.

There were no UI issues. He made the font of the buttons tiny and barely readable. Also when hiding the fullscreen button, the Quality button becomes invisible at bottom/cannot be used at bottom anymore... Don't fix what it isn't broken.

• Added "Hide Next/Previous Buttons".

Doesn't work in playlists.

• Added "Disable Double Tap To Seek".

No idea how disabling that is useful. Double tapping to seek is a useful feature to navigate thru videos.

• Resolved issue where downloaded video/audio files were not being deleted properly.

Downloading videos doesn't work for most users anyway.

// There are still several uYou tweaks which simply don't work/are broken. I wish he could address those some time in the future. But anyway this too offtopic. Let's stick to Copy timestamp again.

[arichornlover]

There are still several uYou tweaks which simply don't work/are broken.

I got a reasonable explanation for this: Google updates the YouTube App. and usually when they do, it can break things like uYou.

[KarmaBeast]

Bhackel said it. If he didn't make uYou closed source it would be easier to fix those broken tweaks.

[arichornlover]

Bhackel said it. If he didn't make uYou closed source it would be easier to fix those broken tweaks.

That is also true. I do wish MiRO92 open-sourced uYou.

the shocking part is that YouTube Reborn literally downloads video and audio faster, no offense.

[KarmaBeast]

How's progress on this feature going? 👋🏻

[arichornlover]

It’s been a wreck. It’s failing to find the videoID url. I might have to give it FFMPEG stuff soon.
