Opera Extensions

From an Opera lover to others

YouWatch - The YouTube Extension

, , , , , ,

Information

Questions and Answers:
  • Watched Videos are not saved anymore (or Subscriptions does not update): Your Database may be full. As default Opera allows databases up to 5 MB. Go to opera:config and search for "Domain Quota For Databases". Increase this number, save it and restart Opera.
  • All my watched videos are gone, after clearing private data: Sadly, per default in the "Delete private data" dialog, "Delete persistent storage" is activated. And more sadly, not only does it remove offline web pages, but also the data of Extensions. I've reported this to Opera. Help to raise this issue with mentioning Bug-Report DSK-378864.
  • YouWatch does not always mark a video as watched: It's a bug at Opera, at the moment present until 11.x, hopefully fixed with 12. Just reload the page until the "Watched" link in the navigation of YouTube is present. If this link is not present, YouWatch was not run, because of a cached page.
  • How can I help fixing Bugs?: The more information I have, the more faster I can fix a bug. You can enable the Debug Mode (at the options page) and reproduce the error. Than send me the debug log (seen at the options page) via message (please do not post it at the comments or at the Opera Extension Catalog site, it may can hold personal like information)
If you encountered an error that is not listed in the Q&A, please report it at the Opera Extension Catalog.

How did you take this screenshot. I suppose you didn't take it in Opera.

Sure, its taken in Opera. Fullscreen and than take screenshots of each visible area until the whole site is covered and than add them together into one picture.

nice extension.http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/Happy.gif -

Suggestion:
>Make the subscription page selectable like the "watched" link, instead of automatic redirection.
>In the subscription page, place a "load more videos" button for each individual subscription.

Thanks for the Suggestions.
I have a few question about it, to understand it better.

To the first: You mean in the YouTube navigation a link "Subscriptions"? To understand it, why do you not like the insertion of subscription at the start page?

To the second: When you group your subscriptions by YouTube user and than click at the subscription page the "more videos" button, it should work as you intended? Or do you mean something different?
Each "more videos" button click will display the videos of 7 more days.

I thought you used a ss program. I didn't find any program that takes ss whole current web page.

im not getting the insertion of the subscriptions "added" to the youtube home page but rather it redirects automatically to the subscriptions without showing the main youtube home page features. if it were merely added to the main page(as you seem to point out) then we could discard that suggestion.

i have my subscriptions grouped by user but i would like a button for each of those youtube users i subscribed to so that i can choose which users videos i would like to load. each button will only load more videos for that youtube user it is assigned to.

i think the subscriptions are no longer working, it wont show any subscription videos it just keeps saying "no new subscriptions videos available", its not showing even the latest opera video for operasoftware youtube account. i have it installed on two different versions of opera and its not working for both

I'm in vacation over the weekend, so i can't check. I will look into it at Monday.
In the mean time you can check:
- how big your database is (look at the Q&A at this post).
- Or, how long does your Opera run? In the newest version I changed the check interval to 1 subscription per minute and than 1 hour pause. (I will change that when I've figured out a better algorithm for that.)
- Look in the Opera Console for Javascript Errors that are caused by widgets.

Maybe you can find the error. I will message you on Monday how it went.

timmi, here's little bug i found:
can't subscribe to this channel at all
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMkvOQwN0PkZz4y0f14uL0w (user Srok Documentary)
thanks.

timmi Saturday, June 16, 2012 9:23:08 AM

At the moment YouWatch can only subscribe to channels that are with the url /user/<username> and not /channel/<some-cryptic-id>.
The last time I checked, the YouTube API didn't had the possibility to check channels with the id, but I will look into it, maybe it changed.

I will give you a heads up if something changed.
