YouTube commenting doesn't work for me #82

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

i no longer can comment on YouTube videos. I have an old YouTube account, non Google+, so that may matter. But, if I disabled VLCTube and let the HTML5 video start playing, I can comment again.

It appears that the video tag has a listener on 'play' and does some cryptic authorization stuff, changing a security key that is sent with the posting of a comment. If I disable VLCTube and autoplay through about:config by media.autoplay = false, then I still can't comment until I play the video.

Is there some way to have VLCTube listen for play and takeover as soon as the HTML5 Video starts playing? I tested putting the whole script in a setTimeout, but that didn't work, so I don't really know enough about which parts of the script can wait, or how to let the HTML5 video trigger the play event before exterminating it.

This stopped occurring, now commenting simply works again, it probably had to do with my youtube account not being tied to my google account, whatever happened, I suppose YouTube fixed it or reverted the changes they made.
