Rating previews recently stopped working. #55

Closed ikingjosh closed 2 years ago

ikingjosh commented 2 years ago

Stopped working in the last day or two. Just shows a full blue bar (100% rating) for every video. Will there be a fix possible?

ikingjosh commented 2 years ago

But I've been using the Return Youtube Dislike chrome extension for over a week before the ratings preview extension stopped working.   On Tuesday, December 14, 2021, 03:28:37 PM CST, Jahanzeb Shayan Eqbal @.***> wrote:

youtube closed the dislike api so only possible fix would be to use returnyoutubedislikeapi.com to get the data

This isn't this developer's fault. Google changed the way that YouTube works and removed the Dislike counter. You can read up on this change here:

Yes, but that's not the answer to the question. The question is if it is possible to create a workaround and according to this thread the work is in progress.

I just finished the update to fix this. The extension now uses the Return YouTube Dislike API instead of YouTube's. I submitted the update to the Chrome Web Store for review (version 1.6.0); they usually approve updates within a few hours. And the Firefox version is already released.

Actually, the review might take longer this time. I got this message: Due to the Host Permission, your extension may require an in-depth review which will delay publishing.

This is because I switched the URL being used for the API requests.

Thanks for the update Elliot!

elliotwaite commented 2 years ago

The Chrome version is now available. After the update, you may need to approve the updated permissions to reenable the extension. The new permissions enable making API calls to returnyoutubedislikeapi.com.

I'm going to close this issue, but feel free to reopen it if the new API backend isn't working for you.

Working! Thanks. I manually updated the extension using these instructions Start Google Chrome. Click the vertical ellipsis icon. on the browser toolbar. Select More Tools -> Extensions. click the Developer Mode button on the right side of the header. From there, you should see the “Update” button pop up on the upper left side
