Is there a work around for average people who do not use UserJS in the works?

PaulPl4ub Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:01:34 PM

How about fix also to Opera Mobile 10 for symbian?
Can't watch youtube videos, works only on Opera Mini 5.

Alternatives exist!

Save it to any folder (I created a "JS" folder inside my Opera folder a long time ago), go to youtube press F12 > Edit site preferences > Scripting and point to your folder in the bottom text-field!

Do you have user javascript enabled in opera:config?

][ePyBuM Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:09:18 PM

Doesn't work for me. Before you ask, I'm familiar with userscript js.

UPD: it works for me now, the page was still in cache.

NicolasNickko Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:10:04 PM

On the about page, it between "Plug-in path" and "User CSS directory"

Daniel HendrycksDanielHendrycks Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:15:40 PM

[ePyBuM]Doesn't work for me.


Cache?

][ePyBuM Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:15:56 PM

This worked for me.
RMB -> Edit Site Preferences -> Network -> Mask as FF

Ryan SalzgeberNemVitzh Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:17:31 PM

@SovietRussia @Aleksander Aas Got it! Thanks!

Thank lot

Awesome, thanks.

oceanic Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:22:23 PM

for those who have no idea what user js is follow this small guide:

#1 create a folder anywhere (somewhere in My Documents will be just fine)
#2 save the YoutubeProtectionRemover.js to that folder
#3 go to youtube, right click anywhere on the page and select "Edit Site Preferences..."
#4 navigate to the "Scripting" tab and select the folder you created under "User JavaScript Folder" and click okay
#5 refresh page
#6 send google a email that they are a bunch of ignorant developers

Murat SOsomurat Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:22:49 PM

That work for me only on Youtube's channel pages.
When I try to watch a single video, it does NOT work.

Waiting for a better solution...

Thanks. wink

hahahahaha!! that's true!!! i think that they are doing this to make people use their browser... :/

Jason Kasewieterjkase Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:26:44 PM

It didn't work for me originally either. However there is a step or two missing.

When you save "YoutubeProtectionRemover.js", it is a good idea to save it to a new folder called "UserJava" in you user folder i.e:
"C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\UserJava." **

Then open YouTube.com.
* Press the F12 key.
* Choose Edit Site Preferences.
* Choose Scripting Tab.
* Click Choose button, & navigate to where you saved the javascript;
In this example:
"C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\UserJava."
* Restart Opera.
* Now Profit :-)

Hope this helps.

** Note if you are running Windows XP; "Users" needs to be replaced with "Documents and Settings"

Removing YouTube cookies in the site preferences was enough for me.
This UserJS didn't help actually.

Artemcatlion Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:41:58 PM

Murat, maybe your videos not on www.youtube.com domain? Some changes should be done to the script in this case.

Murat SOsomurat Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:42:48 PM

Found a solution...!! I think this works better for everyone

by Andreas on Facebook:

1.Go to youtube
2.Right click
3.Select "Block content"
4.Select "Details"
5.Select "add"
3.Paste this -> http://s.ytimg.com/yt/jsbin/www-core-new-vfl160018.js
4.Press "Close"
5.Press "Done"

That's it!

No, it was on youtube. I'm ok with the above solution... wink

biteater Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:54:25 PM

Is this a you tube problem or a opera issue.
Did try those solutions with no success.
Will use Firefox again till issues are fixed!!!!!!

Thank you !

Youtube smile It's fixed from our end.

If this isn't working make sure you delete cookies also!

DanielDD64 Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:56:32 PM

It´s an Youtube-Issue.
It´s not Opera's "fault"

Martin RauscherHades32 Thursday, April 15, 2010 1:01:16 PM

Well, YT works fine for me... Maybe because I have Flash 10.1 RC installed...

carsteam Thursday, April 15, 2010 1:24:06 PM

it used to work, but not anymore so clearly it's an youtube issue.

Matthew Wilcoxsonmwilco Thursday, April 15, 2010 1:27:23 PM

Will we get some feedback on what exactly the problem is, from a technical point of view?

Also, is there somewhere on YouTube we can reprot the problem?

Sami Serolaserola Thursday, April 15, 2010 1:33:57 PM

Thank you very much for the tip http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Good.gif -

and you really don't have to report it to youtube, they now allready!!!

mcclausky Thursday, April 15, 2010 2:00:21 PM

Great patch!
Now if you can also find a similar workaround for the "Awaiting DNS confirmation" issue, that will make our days...

I just threw the JS script into my plugins folder and assigned that as my user javascript folder: Ctrl+F12 (or Tools -> Preferences -> Content -> Javascript Options.

By doing that, and then going to "opera:about" it will show that.

(I know I'm late in posting, but, it's still morning here in the States.)

Use 'Help > Check for Updates' to get the freshly updated browser.js that will work around the Youtube problem for now. With this update, you don't need to manually install a user javascript anymore.

Well i'm on linux and I had this problem with 10.10 and the flashblock user script (http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/flashblock-for-opera-9). This script solved my problem. Thx !

Ickochicoicho Thursday, April 15, 2010 3:49:43 PM

Thanks work for my opera.

Artur „Jurgi” JurgawkaJurgi Thursday, April 15, 2010 4:02:52 PM

Works also on 10.10. Thx.

Salah EddineLonelyBoydz Thursday, April 15, 2010 4:07:20 PM

Works perfectly, thank you !
Waiting for a permanent solution, though. This problem doesn't show up with Firefox, I assume that it's an Opera issue.

v-love Thursday, April 15, 2010 4:25:45 PM

its not an "opera issue", its a "stupid coders at google/youtube not giving a shit about good browsers issue", in fact.

Yeah you're right. I remember that we have once a similar problem with Rapidshare. Opera respect of the web standards seems to be the reason why a lot of people use other browsers. I mean, if you're not a fan of Opera and you have troubles with Youtube, you don't bother yourself by installing some User JavaScript, people don't even know what it is. So, i suggest that Opera "decrease" its standards in order to survive in this ignorant world !

wilkxorandor Thursday, April 15, 2010 5:53:49 PM

Thanks Snapp100 for the workaround! I was pretty confused when I saw "Go upgrade!" text instead of videos. And good to hear that it's not the Opera's fault. wink
