Suggestion: update time in youtube url before suspension

Open ghost opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

hi! i wanted to suggest updating time in YouTube url before suspension so that when reloading the tab it would play the video from time of suspension rather than time of last YouTube time check.

same results can be completed with this exertion:

"Youtube Time Keeper" by daffy1234, on the Chrome web store but it works differently in saving the time every second to preserve watch time from bigger issues like browser or os crashes + would be nice as its own feature in this, to make it more convenient for the MarvellousSuspender user.

thanks for hearing me out, hope you like the idea, and have a good day <3

Wanted to add to this, even though its been a whole year, The OG referenced extension actually causes serious bugs and is very very laggy, making it not a viable solution, so i believe this to be even more important.

thank you for listening!

wasnt there an option in the extension that said "keep yt time" or was that autotab discard extension?

Hi, can you send a ss or similar, I looked around and can't find it.

They have that plugin code on their github repo.

Very interesting. @gioxx is this still intended to be added? I could submit a pr for this but tbh im not good with js, and inexperienced in extensions. If you can point me to the file where it would be added, and maybe the best way to append the url stored by marvelous suspender, than I can give it a try.

I think you need to refer to the tab suspend function that is invoked here: https://github.com/gioxx/MarvellousSuspender/blob/master/src/js/gsTabQueue.js#L68

But consider that there is always the discussion regarding the upgrade/survival of the extension involved (this: https://github.com/gioxx/MarvellousSuspender/issues/197)
