The URL where the problem occurred

What scripts or extensions do you use with it?

AdNauseum (disabled) Return YouTube Dislike Bitwarden ChatReplay Fakespot

• some others that I'm fairly sure don't affect YouTube / are only enabled when clicked on

What is the problem?

Extension continuously shows the handle rather than usernames. I've used this debug build from another issue and it seems to continue to loop find channel IDs.

The console's flooded with queries similar to below. I originally installed 0.3.9, but it behaves the same as this debug build.

I'm assuming it's trying to get channel usernames for these comments, though I'm not sure.

Forgot to mention, but no video.xml files or anything similar.

I just tried installing the userscript, and it didn't help. However, I remembered that there were a few errors when loading, so I've attached them below.

@yakisova41, yes the Chrome extension has also suddenly stopped working for me within the past day or two (version 0.3.9). I haven't tried the script version.

The usernames are not correctly replaced with handles in the following places:

• Comment sections
• Detailed section of the notification drop-down.

However, for some reason they are still replaced correctly in the overview version of the notification drop-down.

See attached images below.

• Not working in comment sections:

• Not working in detailed section of the notification drop-down:

• Is still working in the overview version of the notification drop-down:

Thanks in advance!

Have the youtube specs changed a bit? I don't know. Maybe the problem is that the tracedparams property of the element can't be found and it's not working, so I fixed that.

I've created a beta version, could you please try it? rycu-0.3.10-beta.zip

@yakisova41,

I've created a beta version, could you please try it?

Sure, I can try it if you explain how to install it. Is that beta a Chrome extension, or a userscript? I'm thinking the latter? I'm currently only using the Chrome extension, but can install one of the Monkey extensions to run the script.

This is a chrome extension From the extension's screen, go to developer mode and load the unzipped folder from "Load unpacked". https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/development-basics/#load-unpacked

Installed beta 0.3.10 and disabled previous version 0.3.9.

Outcomes as follows:

---

• Works in brief notifications dropdown.

---

• Works in detailed notifications dropdown.

---

• Works in a fully expanded comment section thread.

---

• When it is the 'highlighted reply', does not work when the comment thread has not been fully expanded.

Perhaps this version will fix all the problems. If there are no problems, we will release it. Could you please confirm this? rycu-0.3.10-beta2.zip

[lheydon]

@yakisova41, yes I just tested 0.3.10-beta2 and it fixes all of the problems 👍

Many thanks.

Beta 2 works for me as well! Thank you!
