Firefox add on for Youtube that will max out the Youtube video size
20 replies, posted
When opening a Youtube video I get this (highest quality and expanded video thanks to an addon):

But look, if I make the video window smaller and then bigger again, I get this:

I think it's something new with Youtube. Is there an addon that will give me the bigger Youtube video automatically?
This happens with me as well. There isn't an addon that fixes that yet.

Actually, I think there is:

Can't find it for Firefox, but here's how it looks with all the comments hidden and the description:

What. I don't want comments hidden.. just the video size maxed out.
I guess there's none for FF right now.
If I'm correct, it will max out the size if there is an HD version for sure. I think if there is only SD available, it will use the older size.
If you're using Greasemonkey, you could try my script that adds buttons for different player sizes:

It also remembers your previous choice, so you can set it to the large one and videos will start in that size by default.
[i](The buttons it adds also used to be styled like YouTube's normal buttons, but I guess they changed some of the CSS class names. Oh well. I might update the script at some point.)[/i]
Cool it works.. but

Could you make the S M L a drop down menu or something. So it doesn't start a second row? Or is that too much.
Well, they don't normally start a second row (because normally there is no "Download" there), but I'll see what I can do. I'd prefer to keep them as the kind of buttons they are now, though.

I could craft you an own version of the script at some point with a dropdown menu instead of the buttons. I'm a bit busy right now, but I'll look into it.
What firefox theme is that?
[QUOTE=MC3craze;34679212]What firefox theme is that?[/QUOTE]
Firefox Chrome.
I love my FF. So amazing.
I want to start scripting my own add ons. Where do I start?.. Is it hard?
Edit the GM script and replace it with the code I posted.
Could you tell me how to get there because I seriously don't know,,
this will replace the sml with a skinny dropdown menu?
Go to the Firefox addons menu, click on Greasemonkey at the bottom of the tabs at the side. Now right click on the YouTube Player Size Options and choose edit.
Now the tricky part. Right click and "Select All" and delete. Paste in my code, and save!
You can now call yourself a hacker.
You mean user scripts?
I did it and here is where I got up to..
ah fuck.. Ok. So I right click edit and it opens browser telling me to find an app to edit it with..
I choose FF.. tells me to install Greasemonkey user script. I do.
I edit again.. and..
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/ErrorProxy/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/rt5sv9m7.ErrorProxy/gm_scripts/YouTube_Player_Size_Options/120564.user.js.
When choosing what to open with, choose notepad since you want to edit the code, not read/install it
I can't get to the open with page anymore.
Not sure if this is helpful, but you can make a youtube video fill a window by changing the URL from
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxx[/url] to [url]http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxxx[/url] .
Probably not that useful as-is, but I'm sure with a bit of greasemonkey someone could make it do it automatically.
