Impossible to switch to Theater Mode/Default view with Classic YouTube layout. #4

Closed Marek33 closed 4 years ago

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

With the filter called Yet another small block filter list YouTube does not allow me, to switch Theater Mode/Default view with Classic YouTube layout. I'm using YouTube Switch for Chromium and YouTube Classic for Firefox/Waterfox, since the older layout, is way better.

mtxadmin commented 4 years ago

Hmm.. I have tried just now - YouTube switched to Theater Mode view (and back) as usual.

Maybe it is a conflict with those extentions? Will try them later.

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

Did you try the older design as well? With new design it works without problem, but not with the old design, which is much better.

I know only about two ways to bring the older design, expect extensions:

1. You need to be logged in, and open the creator studio, where you can still switch to the old one. _2. When you open any YouTube Channel type /videos? disable_polymer=1 after the name of the channel, and then you get the old design._

It could be, but there is almost no other way to use the older design, which is so much better than the newer one.

mtxadmin commented 4 years ago

Steps to reproduce by now:

  1. I disabled the filter list "Yet another small block filter list" (but not the default ones)
  2. I was able to reach the older Youtube design by adding /videos?disable_polymer=1 to channel URL.
  3. When playing videos, I cannot see the Theater mode button in the player. But it is not this filterlist issue - it is still disabled, and the uBlock logger panel doesn't show blocks by the filterlist. There are only EasyList and others, and those blocks seem good for me (doubleclick.net and other marketing stuff), but I didn't investigate deeper.

When I enabled "Yet another small block filter list" again I see some additional blocks - it is ok, just as intended.

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

No, you need to have the Yet another small block filter list enabled, with the old design, since that causes this issue. The only fix for now, is to whitelist, the YouTube domain, in the uBlock Origin, which brings back the ads on the video, so it's not a proper solution. With the Classic YouTube for Firefox (easiest way), and having any YouTube video open, you can see, that it just won't work. After that, you will see, that no matter how many times, you click, you can't switch to the Theater/Default modes.

mtxadmin commented 4 years ago

I still cannot reproduce the problem. Extended steps:

  1. Download and Install the Chrome from the scratch
  2. Install uBlock Origin extension
  3. Update default filterlists
  4. Open some Youtube video and see the Theater mode button is working

For now, all seems ok

  1. Search and install "Classic Youtube" extention. Took first: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-classic-restore-y/aooobjmnokciopfgejdlbnklafighoaj
  2. Open some Youtube video and see the Theater mode button is working

Add filterlist

8 . In uBlock Origin add custom filterlist: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mtxadmin/ublock/master/it

  1. See that its rules are loaded
  2. Open some Youtube video and see the Theater mode button is still working.

Please, install another browser from scratch too for testing.

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

Yes, I did almost everything as you said (except using that extension, since I don't trust it), but the result is completely the same.

Also, what kind of list is that? I'm using this one for the FilterList site: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mtxadmin/ublock/master/it

mtxadmin commented 4 years ago

I'm using this one for the FilterList site

Are you kidding? They are the same :-)

but the result is completely the same.

Sorry, but I tried to reproduce your issue twice with no results.

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

Sorry, I did not realize it, since when I opened your link, since it was way too short, and the one, which I have is very long. Hmm, when I add it, I have 22, 013 used out of 29,451.

Do you have a Discord, so I could easily send you the file, with those, which I have?

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

I still have the issue of not being able to switch the theater mode, like I wrote before, so I would like to know if you could look further into that, since it's definitely caused by that filter, which I mentioned. However, I don't get, why there are categories, instead of all links, like in other filters. Currently, I have 25,888 used out of 34,447.

Also, I tried it, with the YouTube Classic extension as well, even if it seems that YouTube will remove the old design in the future.

And for some odd reason, the YouTube comments are hidden as well.

mtxadmin commented 4 years ago

I suppose, YouTube comments may be hidden when cookies are disabled. At least, it behaves that way in one of my test browsers.

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

Can you change it, so we can see the comments?

Also, what about the switching?

mtxadmin commented 4 years ago

See your browser settings. Maybe I am wrong about cookies, of course.

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, with cookies disabled or enabled. When I have them disabled, and I don't use your filter, it works, so there is something in the list, which blocks it, along with switching to the theater design.

mtxadmin commented 4 years ago

Sorry, I can't reproduce it.

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

Are you using the YouTube Classic Extension, and do you have the Yet another small block filter list with uBlock Origin? Do you have the 34,505 lines on there? And lastly, are you using the latest Firefox? Or some of these three browsers Waterfox, Ungoogled or Iridium? The Iridium and Ungoogled are using older versions of Chrome, but that doesn't matter, for it, since it doesn't work on Brave as well, which is using the latest Chrome version as far as I know.

Also, do you have a Discord?

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

@mtxadmin Well, have you checked the Firefox, Waterfox Classic, Ungoogled and Iridium with the YouTube Classic? I would like to close this issue, but I can't since the problem is still there.

It also disables any background like on the Moddb or any logos (Google and YouTube), and on Gmail, even sign in.

Looking at the logger, it says, that it blocks all of these things on YouTube: /youtubei/v1/logevent, /logo$important,image, ||youtube.com/api/stats/$important - a lot of times. ||youtube.com/error_ /watch.js$domain=~rosreestr.ru /youtubei/v1/log_event

mtxadmin commented 4 years ago

Thanks for information.

Logos, backgrounds and telemetry/statistics are blocked intentionally. /watch.js is yandex.metrica script which can be found on many resources too. But not on Youtube, of course - it belongs to Google, their competitor. Good, I made an exception for youtube.com - please, update the filter and see possible changes.

Marek33 commented 4 years ago

Thanks! Now it seems to be working on the Chromium. Tomorrow, I will try other browsers, but it should work on all of them.

There are still these things blocked: _||youtube.com/api/stats/$important /youtubei/v1/log_event ||youtube.com/error__

The YouTube and Google logos are blocked: /logo_$important,image and ##.logo are blocked.

The ##.main-logo and ##.logo should be disabled as well, since a lot of sites, doesn't have them anymore with this filter.

Also, why does the /bg_$important,image blocks the Moddb background? You should remove the bg list (not as a list, but the bg line) as well.

BTW: Why are the /images/emoji/ on Github blocked?
