Completely fine titles are being replaced with weirdly specific descriptions, take for example this XKCD Video title:
"What if everyone jumped at once?"
is replaced by:
"What if everyone was magically teleported to the same place on earth, then all jumped at once?"
This doesnt add _anything_ other then make the title three times as long and more confusing. Its also addressed that "everyone in the same place" is meant when jumping within literally the first frame of the video.
So while its a good plugin in itself, due to reliance on Crowdsource, its absolutely not anything you can daily drive.Balasan pengembang
dikirim 2 bulan yang laluWe do allow open ended questions under the guidelines for this type of video. But yea, some people like to submit pedantic stuff...

Amazing idea in theory, but it helped me realize that the Youtube meta is there for a reason - to understand at a glance.
- Diberi peringkat 2 dari 5oleh Aesara, 5 bulan yang laluA good idea in theory, in practice it's used by geeks who: a) don't watch videos with clickbait titles, and b) will rename titles with practically no effect other than saying "I was here". DeArrow titles often make me more annoyed than clickbait titles do because of how frivolous the userbase is.

Edit: turns out my privacy concerns were unfounded, as the paywall is completely client side. It can therefore also be edited out with a single line of code.Balasan pengembang
dikirim 10 bulan yang laluAs noted on the payment page at the bottom, the license key is used in one request to the server to validate it, but is then never sent to the server again. Your userID and submissions are never sent with your license key so they cannot be linked.
The extension is also not fully paywalled. You can still request free access using the button at the bottom of the page, and I hope many people take this option!

- Diberi peringkat 2 dari 5oleh Pengguna Firefox 17993023, setahun yang lalue2: my original complaint still stands since the default is forced for every client and there's nothing to stop everyone else from picking a worse thumbnail just because it picks whever you happen to be in the video when you edit it --- and it being a crowdsourced extension means that more often than not the thumbnails are an out of context or blurry mess. not to mention people editorializing the titles or overly sanatizing them.
e: thanks for the reply - guess i was blind due to the extension being tucked away in the 'more extensions' thing. still annoying that its default behaviour though, especially the thumbnail thing. surely picking a random motion blurred time is more detrimental than a potentially clickbaity thumbnail?
forcing titlecase is obnoxious, really wish there was a toggle for that as it kinda steamrolls the grammar/form of other languages just because they happen to use the latin script (!) or stylistic choices for the video title.
also by default it seems to choose your current position in the video as the new thumbnail even if you haven't explicitly picked it - a lot of times results in people removing an okay thumbnail and it getting replaced with motionblurred nonsense.
i know it sounds petty but if these are my only two bits of feedback then it must be good !Balasan pengembang
dikirim setahun yang laluPlease check the options, there are options related to all these things. You can even configure things like formatting to be different for specific channels - Diberi peringkat 2 dari 5oleh Pengguna Firefox 15923203, setahun yang laluGreat idea, but it slows down way too much. Especially on watch history page. It consumes my entire bandwith looking at task managers networking tab, above 800 mbps

dikirim setahun yang laluEdit: The update I talked about is now released, so this should be fixed :)
Thanks!
So, there are two ways thumbnail generation works. One is via asking the server for one, and one is via downloading part of the video locally. Right now it tries both and stops when the first one loads.
Next update, I am going to change that behavior to always only use the server one, and only try local generation if the server hasn't responded in some time.
I also noticed a bug where sometimes local generation downloads the video multiple times, which might be amplifying the issue.
So, hopefully this issue will be fixed in the next update and you can try again then! thanks!
