[ServerSide Bug] Several tweaks suddenly stopped working (hide clip, hide download, hide remix buttons) + Shorts buttons when paused

[KarmaBeast]

Im still using an older version (19.16.3) of uYouEnhanced because I can't install/update to newer ipa at this moment. (Installation errors with my paid service...) Suddenly I noticed now that several buttons that I hid, are suddenly, out of nowhere showing. How is this possible? For over a week I didn't update the app, didn't change anything and suddenly these annoying, useless buttons are showing 🫤

Like I said I didn't(can't) update/overwrite the app. Still using the same for over a week.

EDIT: It seems like Shorts are also affected as they're showing several buttons when video is paused:

The Live and Shopping buttons weren't there before this happened

YouTube literally broke it Server-Side, the implementation needs to be changed ;(

I literally witnessed it breaking today on the YouTube App when I was watching a couple of videos.

[KarmaBeast]

I literally suspected that as we were discussing it in the group right now.

I kinda suspected that Google changed something serverside that break these tweaks just now. I just noticed that they weren't working a couple minutes ago 😔 It's literally so annoying ...

Now with the empty gap of the Thanks button it's becoming even worse with Videos that have thanks button on them. The most used Save button is located at the very right end....

I think a little tinkering to the implementation will solve the problem. Not sure what Google changed so it may be a little hard to adjust it.

Ok I hope you will manage it! Also keep in mind there's annoying buttons showing on Shorts aswell now, when you pause a Short. You can see in my screenshot above 👆🏻

As for the shorts, I think I will make an option that just hides all 3 of them at once because I know there will be gaps just like the Thanks button if I didn’t ;(

Sounds good to me! All those 3 buttons are useless and in the way

[KarmaBeast]

Also noticed something else. There's a graph 📈 button there now which when tapping opens stats for nerds. I don't know why that is showing? (The button below the three dot button)

Can we remove it aswell?

[arichornlover]

Yes, if it’s a button inside the video player, it can easily be removed.

[KarmaBeast]

Alright sounds good! Remove those 4(!) Shorts buttons, and those below player as stated in the post title.

Thank you very much. Obviously we didn't know Google was gonna do this.

Yep I know, and I am still struggling on resolving the hideCells implementation.

[KarmaBeast]

Well I like Shorts 🥰

I never use any of those tweaks to hide Shorts. Only hid the Shorts bottom navigation.

Wait, I wasn’t referring to hide Shorts cells, what I meant to say, I haven’t found a solution to hiding the buttons under the video player. 😅

[KarmaBeast]

Ahh lol I gotchu!

You know what's annoying is the Save button which I use ALL THE TIME, is now gone away all the way to the most right. It's so dumb and annoying. + The gap from hiding the Thanks button makes it even worse. Now I'm forced again to swipe all the way left to get to the Save button .....

Previously when the hide button tweaks were working the Save button was at the front, at the tip of my fingers

[arichornlover]

Hey @KarmaBeast I still haven’t found a proper solution. so I might temporarily go back to the old method. It’s gonna be just like Hide Thanks Button again ;(

[KarmaBeast]

Maybe @bhackel can help later if he has time? The gaps method sucks and is equally bad.

I know, It’s a trash method and it is unfortunate that Google ruined that new method ;( I am trying my and been debugging the app trying to find stuff that could help.

[KarmaBeast]

Maybe PoomSmart knows how to solve this issue? I wouldn't bother implementing the gap method til someone fixes it 😣

[bhackel]

Yea I have an idea how to solve it using the rendered model method - I can work on it in maybe a week? Been busy recently

[KarmaBeast]

Sounds good man! Appreciate it whenever you have time to look into it 👍🏻

Shorts have been extremely buggy and broken lately. Subtitles are automatically being enabled, despite it being disabled in the three dot menu, and uYou. Also the Remix button is showing ...

And hiding the Dislike button on Shorts doesn't work either. Broken,not working uYou tweaks:
