[Userjs] Enable Flash player on youtube

2017-08-10, 11:00:25

Hi all,
I have found a script that can disable html5 media player and enable again flash player on youtube to watching video at 1080p, until html5 media supports is complete.
The script can be found here: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/youtube/CUaTWvKhAuE/q6P1m1kpAwAJ but to works on otter [otter-browser-win32-weekly188 WebKit backend] the script needs for some changes

Code: [Select]

// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
window.setTimeout(function() {
  var embedFrame = document.createElement("iframe");
  //embedFrame.src = location.href.replace("watch?v=", "embed/");
  embedFrame.src = location.href.replace("watch?v=", "v/");
  //embedFrame.style = "width: 100%; height: 100%;";
  embedFrame.setAttribute("width", "100%");
  embedFrame.setAttribute("height", "100%");
  var player = document.getElementById("player-api");
  player.innerHTML = "";
  player.appendChild(embedFrame);
},
3000);
})();

Unfortunately, It brakes the fullscreen mode.

Thanks again to Emdek and all the guys behind this awesome browser!
