Iridium

In this version the quick controls have been changed to stay always visible once enabled. Another change to the quick controls is that now they are in sync throughout any open windows, meaning that, for example, if you enable Full browser in one window while a video is playing on another, that window will expand the video to fill the browser as well.

This version comes with a new feature:

• Screen shot

An update to this announcement has been posted here: https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/issues/104

As of today the current state of this project is on hold with no ETA and possibly permanently. The concerns that existed before this project even started are becoming a reality, causing complete features from functioning correctly as well as developing new ones. It is sadly a project that is already taxing more on frustration than fun and it is not a rewarding experience at all, at this point reverse engineering this new YouTube update is borderline inconceivable if the objective is to have solid working features, which has always been the goal ever since the previous extension. For half broken extensions there are already plenty of them, I have no interest on developing anything that I am not happy with its performance.

I don't know if I will resume this project, so until that day comes, if it comes, this project is done for.
There will be no support whatsoever for any problems that might arise until then.

This version comes with a new feature that I was working on, it is not complete, but might be useful for those that use it: Quick Controls.

Following the new settings implementation on the previous update, this version comes with a live settings updater, meaning that changing settings from any YouTube tab will reflect the changes on all tabs, with the exception of a few settings that still need to be improved before this can work like all the others, until then a page refresh will have to do just for those.

This update comes with a more "expected" behavior for when users change their settings, be it from a YouTube page or from the Iridium settings page, to any open YouTube pages. The previous problem was restricted to propagating those changes to the other windows from the window the user change its settings, which was causing some "forgetting", quite often actually, of those change settings since the other windows would never receive the new changes unless those pages were refreshed.

Now the logic has been changed to communicate the settings directly to a common channel between all open YouTube windows where Iridium is running, resulting in global-like update of the settings throughout all those windows, regardless from where those changes originated from, "protected" by a broadcast UUID, which I hope it deters any rogue script from hijacking midair somehow (we never know).

Those changes are not reflected on the other pages for now because I want to see how this solution pans out before thinking about adding more bloat to the code that might prove to be unnecessary. Of course this improvement is still under consideration for future versions.

The previous version introduced a change that might have killed users blacklist. If such is the case please reset your settings to resume normal behavior.

Changing settings in one page will no longer "reset" the settings in other pages. This also means that they do not get updated across pages, but the overall experience should tax less the browser performance than the previous method which was updating the settings through all open YouTube pages.

For the next 7 to 15 days my work and personal life will leave me no free time to work on this project, meaning that the development will be close to none during this period. I will always try to see if there is anything I can do whenever some free time happens to be left, but this time it will be almost impossible. Nevertheless, the project will not be dropped and I will resume it as soon as it is possible.

This release does not add anything new that wasn't already in the last alpha version.

This first version derives from the last of the alpha version and the respective release notes are located here: https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/releases/tag/0.3.0a

With this update the alpha stage comes to an end and right after begins the beta stage with the same starting point as of this update.

To the users interested in continuing testing the following development versions please switch to the beta branch. The download link has been updated with the updated branch as well: https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium/wiki/Download

This version comes with three new features:

• Allow loudness normalization
• Memorize player size
• Memorize player volume

Improvement and bug fix details are included in the commit description.

This version might be the last alpha update, if everything goes alright. The number of features appears to be sufficient and stable to start the next release stage. If everything stays stable the Iridium extension might soon reach release build and be published as an extension distributed on other hosts.

A big new feature has been implemented in this version: Enable blacklist. This feature took some time to develop under the new YouTube layout, but the main goal has been reached. Some bugs might occur so please report them when possible.

Improvement and bug fixes details are included in the commit description.

This version comes with three new features:

• Default YouTube logo page
• Default channel tab
• Allow subtitles on videos
