11 months ago I'll do it tomorrow weekend if I have free time. Now I can answer some questions
"Player shortcuts always active" ... clicked outside the video
Yes, I forgot that you can click with the mouse and redirect the focus. The current implementation takes into account only keyboard keydown. In fact, it would be correct to call the plug-in - "remove the blue borders of the player elements with focus." But it doesn't sound as cool as "Player shortcuts always active" UPD: I looked, it turns out that for some reason I disabled "listening for click events". Perhaps there were problems with other plugins? For example #90, #87
"Float player progress bar"
There are 3 possible reasons. In short, the whole point is that for optimization, updates are disabled if the panel is hidden. But because of "css: transition: transform" there is a lag when initializing. I killed it when when going to the next page. I'll try to fix it.
I will mention that in the cad of each plugin there are links to existing alternatives. And some of them use blends of the original progressbar. This solution is much simpler, but the problem is that chapters are not always rendered. I myself use another plugin "Control panel below the player". And serious compatibility issues between them.
height: 2px !important;
I did not quite understand. There is an option to change this setting in the settings:
I feel like this should be default behaviour
Can you explain in more detail. I don't understand. What background are you talking about? And how did you solve the gap by increasing the height
Stop play channel trailer
UPD find #c4-player[playing-mode] and replace #c4-player.playing-mode
"Redirect Shorts to regular (watch) URLs"
the implementation is the same:
Plugin activation speed problem. Nova starts up quite slowly. It has to do with internal mechanisms. And not all tasks can be completed in Nova. For example, those related to experimental flags or youtube configuration before launch or during launch. This leads to the fact that Nova, in order to reduce the load and reduce the impact of the speed of launching youtube itself, will only start after the initial configuration stage has been completed. And I decided that in the future with a large number of plugins, this can significantly affect stability and speed. Also, the plugins have not been tested in this mode of operation and are not expected to be launched not "after everything"
here is a way to speed up the launch of Nova replace:
function landerPlugins() {
processLander();
function processLander() {
const plugins_lander = setInterval(() => {
const domLoaded = document?.readyState != 'loading';
if (!domLoaded) return console.debug('waiting, page loading..');
clearInterval(plugins_lander);
console.groupCollapsed('plugins status');
Plugins.run({
'user_settings': user_settings,
'app_ver': GM_info.script.version,
});
}, 500);
}on
Plugins.run({
'user_settings': user_settings,
'app_ver': GM_info.script.version,
});or comment out
"Default tab on channel page "
it has to do with the way it is implemented. Iridium directly changes the "link endpoint". But this method is extremely unreliable. I went the other way 90% of Nova features are loosely coupled to the internal API. And much more with DOM.
You can do amazing things if you start using the API to its full potential. But that's what became the Achilles' heel of "Youtube Center" and Iridium and hundreds of other scripts. They relied too much on the API. I will not repeat such a mistake. And even more I abandoned the monolithic architecture that ruined them. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/397094-youtube-video-preview-and-ratings-keyless
"YouTube logo link"
this script is somewhat tricky. It inserts an element that starts mimics an API call
subButton.innerHTML = '<a id="endpoint" class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-guide-entry-renderer" tabindex="-1" role="tablist" title="Subscriptions" href="/feed/subscriptions">';
volume normalization
And can you explain to me what is the problem of normalization? I have always had enough of an external amplifier for quiet video. Does she distort the sound? I missed this feature for two reasons: 1) because I didn't experience any problems. 2)And often this will fail due to some rules in browsers (changes in audio/video context needs to be initiated by trusted user events). I once suffered with the PIP launch function

First of all I want to say Thank You! for this amazing script.
I was holding onto to Iridium(latest normal version before it got nuked) mainly for its "player visible while scrolling" feature. Iridium had the best version of it out of all others I've tried. Slowly Iridium's features broke that I supplemented with other addons/script but luckily the small player feature kept working...until a couple weeks ago. So I had to find a replacement and luckily came across this script. And your version works just as well. It comes on when scrolling down 50% of the video, and I was able to customize the placement and other things with my own CSS: https://pastebin.com/MgTAAVWM So a big thanks!!
First the bugs/quirks:
no1 "Player shortcuts always active" It doesn't seem to work right away, after clicking outside of video. It works correctly when on a fresh/brand new video tab. But when I have clicked outside the video and then change volume with arrow keys, the first input scrolls the page, THEN starts changing volume. Same thing after every click outside of video.
no2 "Float player progress bar" Another great feature that I currently use a separate script for. Nova's one is a bit glitchy. When it first 'activates,' the main progress bar can be 100% for a short bit and/or the buffer bar doesn't load in. Both can be seen in this example: https://i.imgur.com/HT1OVqJ.gif This is after a CTRL+F5 refresh. The glitchiness isn't THE biggest deal but is still annoying. And it varies video-to-video exactly what happens.
The script I use works flawlessly all the time, BUT doesn't have chapter dots, which Nova has, so I'd prefer to use Nova's. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/394512-youtube-progressbar-preserver
And a small request with this feature, I'd personally prefer if non-chaptered videos' progress bars had the full width background. Videos with chapters have a background but ones without don't, you only see progress and buffer bars, like in the gif above. I fixed this with CSS by setting this height to 2px(same as my progress bar) to make the background visible.
nova-player-float-progress-bar {
} But I feel like this should be default behaviour or maybe make it adjustable. Some might prefer not to see it, etc.
no3 "Stop play channel trailer " This simply never works for me on any channel. But I redirect to /videos anyway so not a big deal.
no4 "Redirect Shorts to regular (watch) URLs" The short plays as a short, then gets redirected to normal video URL. The script I use currently instantly starts as a video URL, or atleast does it alot quicker so it's not noticeable https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/439993-youtube-shorts-redirect But again not a big deal since I have shorts disabled in the parts of Youtube I visit so this very rarely comes up.
no5 "Default tab on channel page " Mine is set to videos and 'click' variant(though same pretty much applies with 'redirect'). Works fine but the redirect time seems "unnecessary", Iridium used to do it instantly, sort of directly went to /videos whether you middle/CTRL clicked to new tab or stayed on the page, it was on /videos right away instead of doing a little redirect dance that Nova does. Perhaps that's not possible anymore, I'm not sure. I know f**k all about coding. I'm just listing what I find buggy/weird.
no6 "YouTube logo link" Works fine when middle/CTRL clicking to new tab but doesn't work when normal clicking. Youtube's in-page/SPF loading seems to mess it up perhaps. The URL tooltip(that comes up when you hover over links) at the bottom left of the browser does say "***.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions" but yeah, simply goes to youtube.com when normal clicking on it. Again, the script I use currently works fine. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/13582-youtube-logo-link-to-subscriptions-feed
And the feature request:
Please add an option to disable Youtube's volume normalization. Currently I use this script: https://gist.github.com/abec2304/2782f4fc47f9d010dfaab00f25e69c8a
And that's it. You have made an amazing Youtube customizer. If these small issues were fixed/changed and the feature added, I could get rid of so many separate scripts.
