Watched videos are no longer grayed out.

[lordthuy941792]

Since the new Chrome update, watched videos only have small watched marker, no grayed out. The extension works fine on Firefox though.

Quick question, is the greying-out enabled in the settings?

[k5josh]

I'm experiencing the same issue, though I don't even get the 'Watched' text marker. Tried enabling/disabling fading, greyscale, etc. to no effect.

YouTube changed the HTML? The img is not in yt-img-shadow.

So after adding this CSS, it worked for me:

.youwatch-mark yt-image {
    opacity: 0.3;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    filter: grayscale(1.0);
}

Also had this issue of the extension just mysteriously stop working when using chrome Version 99.0.4844.84. Even more strangely, it seems to have started working again just today using chrome Version 100.0.4896.75. Not sure if it was a browser update change that broke the plugin or if it was on youtube's end, but one thing I have noticed is that the videos watched in between when it stopped working and when it started working again are not marked as watched.

CSS seems fine to me, but I'm having an issue where the code always bails here: https://github.com/sniklaus/youtube-watchmarker/blob/master/background.js#L1551-L1554

Seemingly url never gets set to anything in my browser

A call to chrome.tabs.get(intTab, CALLBACK) might do it at that seems to give me the url property

I might take a stab at a PR for that if I find the time

EDIT: It seems to work again now 🤷‍♂️ maybe it was a bad chrome update..?

If I change channel or youtube account then greying out works.

Yes, I found out the same. Is it because I have too many videos watched/liked?

So, I've been having the same issue for a few months now. Changing channel or YouTube account also doesn't seem to help. Anyone know of a fix?

I have the same issue and can also fix it by switching to my second account. Something is amiss

Did you try this CSS?

[luke-bravenboer]

Just started having this issue myself in Firefox within the past day or two - presumed related to the latest Youtube UI changes

I briefly looked at it but didn't have the time yet. I do now. Does it need to be placed in the youtube.css file in the extension subfolder found in the browser programdata folder? I'm on Chrome (well, Brave) by the way

You could try pasting the above CSS into a user CSS extension, such as User CSS, or pasting this style rule below into uBlock Origin > Options > My filters:

youtube.com##.youwatch-mark yt-image:style(opacity: 0.3; background-color: #FFFFFF; filter: grayscale(1.0);)

Ah yes, that makes more sense than editing the extension CSS files. I have applied the uBock Origin method, since I already had that installed. I can confirm this resolves it, I now have proper function again on my main youtube account. Thank you for this workaround!

[sniklaus]

Thanks everyone for chiming in! I just uploaded a new version which is already out for Firefox but still under review for Chrome (no idea how long this takes). Please let me know whether or not version 4.2.2 fixes this issue, thanks!

[sniklaus]

The listing for Chrome now shows 4.2.2 as well, let me know how it goes. :+1:

I have updated the extension to 4.2.2 and commented out the aforementioned uBlock Origin filter. So far it appears that the watch markers do indeed remain, even after closing and re-opening the browser. So, on first impression it seems that it is fixed. Should that change, I'll report back. Thank you for the effort of developing this mighty handy extension, thank you for fixing this issue and for still continuing to actively develop this extension so many years later!

[sniklaus]

Thanks for confirming! I am hence closing this issue for now, please let me know (by replying here or by opening up a new issue) if this issue comes back or wasn't resolved after all. Thanks!
