Same problem here.

This is the best Chrome extension in existence, but is it even being developed anymore?

It actually appears that it both removes the masthead contents on the front page and creates an invisible yet still active page when viewing videos.

It seems with the new layout you can restore back to the old youtube by clicking on your icon in the upper right. restoring it proceeds to bring you back to the older version before and everything seems to work fine with it. that's a temp solution until they force update everyone I guess

exactly how to go back to 524?

anthonyd7311 avatar Aug 29 '17 19:08 anthonyd7311

Click on your icon in the upper right, it's where you log in from. then you should notice in the drop down there's a button for "restore old youtube".

Same for Opera

anthonyd7311 avatar Aug 29 '17 19:08 anthonyd7311

anthonyd7311: Yes, YT had an update :-)

ThoBekMic avatar Aug 29 '17 20:08 ThoBekMic

so why the 548 build then , if you know??

anthonyd7311 avatar Aug 29 '17 20:08 anthonyd7311

This is really bad news. Sooner rather than later the new layout will be the default and there will be no 'restore old YouTube'.

Funny that they finally added dark theme. We've had this or something close to it for like years with YTC. Personally i did not see any apparent advantages from the new design so i went back to the old one. I will paste my response here too for the reason:

I use various userscripts to customize the look and feel of youtube. Currently these are broken because of the design change. Hence i will not use the new layout until these will be fixed. Also i hate design changes for the sake of changing. This perfectly illustrates why it is a bad idea to keep designers on a permanent payroll. It is much better to buy the desgn in as it forces you to think if it's really worth the money it costs where as people on payroll have to justify their positions simply by making new designs every year even if it's not really nessesary.

Funny that they finally added dark theme.

And a full page player. I used Youtube center mostly for the large player and default 1080p playback. Now youtube added both thoses.

I can't imagine using YouTube without YouTube Center, I've been using it for years! I hope this isn't its death knell, but it depends as always on Jeppe picking this up and giving the time to do something about it, if it's possible. Like all initially optional changes to big corporate site web pages, this will eventually become compulsory. It always does.

The developer has already explained that he is working in a new version for the upcoming YouTube revamp: https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/2416#issuecomment-300151257

Thanks for that reference, it does give hope! It was written back in May though, so I assume this YouTube redesign has been in the pipeline for a while. I do hope Jeppe can fix things, either with a new version of YouTube Center, or a replacement.

They also removed the "Remove Watched" button in the watch later playlist. It's unrelated to YTC, but it is among the many things they ruined with the update. And it's within their own control and system! =\

I discovered a more passive workaround where you do not have to sign in to your youtube account. Download the Custom User Agent String and fool youtube into thinking you're using firefox 43. The problem is now I get highly irritating "update your browser" messages at the top of some pages even here on github.

for my firefox + script it just shows white page instead of everything on youtube

I wouldn't mind if I could just have the full-window player back without having to use the zoom on my browser.

I had that too. I had to restore the old layout in safe mode... Also a weird thing happened, I disabled the YTC userscript yet it was still active. I guess it's a greasemonkey+FF56 bug. It looks like I'm mistaken. It looks like something else also broke youtube instead.

Also causing white screen on Chrome 60 in the new UI. Turning off YTC and reverting YT back to the working UI fixes. Hopefully YT will let us use the old UI for long enough for YTC to the new mobile APP clone UI changes.

Kadah avatar Sep 01 '17 02:09 Kadah

I got a blank screen but still have audio on youtube. Then, I turn off YTC and everything is OK. Hope you guys can fix it soon.

tuanden0 avatar Sep 01 '17 05:09 tuanden0

Using the script with tapermonkey it gives a whitepage but functionality behind it.

Disabling it fixes it at the expense of the new UI.

Utilizing the old layout fixes this and allows it to work as intended....For now.

Maybe we could branch Youtube Center for the new UI and start with all the features that arent broken and work our way up from there?

I doubt Yeppha wants to re-implement everything from the scratch. But it sounds like he wants to make a completely new backend/foundation for it all. And until that's functional the features will need to wait.

@JABirchall

How can you put 1080p as a defaut playback in the new layout ?
