Playlist lock - Always goes to next video when choosing any video #4

This stems from my testing in #3.

If you try to navigate to a different video within the playlist, it seems the script overrides the selection and causes the previous "next video" in the list to be opened instead.

Repro:

Start playing a playlist (also refresh browser after starting)
In the playlist panel, choose any video other than the next video (e.g., If started on video 1, choose video 3)
Youtube navigates to the old "next video" instead (i.e., Navigates to video 2 in previous example)

Actually, seems worse than I initially thought. It seems to override anything that would navigate away from the video.

Clicking on any video listed in the side panels will jump to the "next video" in the playlist.
Even affects using the browser back button, could potentially get into a redirect loop and stuck on the same video. (only way to break out is to refresh the page to reset the script)

That was a weird one (sadly YouTube doesn't have distinct classes for videos that don't load). The latest version should fix this issue (but the blank buffering problem is no longer supported).
