Implemented "Prevent playback looping of youtube shorts video"

Open giulivno opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

⚬ PROBLEM: YouTube Shorts loop indefinitely, making it hard to stop playback. ⚬ SOLUTION: Detects when a Shorts video restarts and pauses it at the last frame to prevent looping.

⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: Affects only Shorts videos. Doesn’t interfere with regular videos or ads. Works dynamically via MutationObserver.

⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS": May pause unintended seeks. Requires updates if YouTube changes behavior. Automatically toggled, menu toggle does not function properly (player settings)

⚬ CONTEXT: Uses chrome.storage.local.get, matching other features. Listens for setting changes dynamically. Integrates smoothly into ImprovedTube.

it would be great if you could fix our ad skipper too? (since you looked into it) ( @raszpl prepared something here https://github.com/raszpl/tweaks4ytube/commit/26bc7c30590fb3258f7f923dd1f930daa3f5ea35 https://github.com/raszpl/tweaks4ytube/commit/49b9f0cd3b39bfad9eb68ea2cd5ed9f8f723f1d3 )
