  • BUG: On the page https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions, the overlay icons for "watch later" and "add to queue" both appear as solid black, instead of the icons they should be. This only started happening in the last few days so I believe it was caused by a recent update to this Extension. When I disable the extension, the overlay icons work correctly. I always use these icons to "add to watch later" and then watch my reduced list always from the "watch later" watchlist.

  • Browser: Chrome Version 124.0.6367.202 (Official Build) (64-bit)

  • HOW: I can't see any errors logged in the browser console.

  • Extension running, broken icons:

  • Extension disabled, correct icons:

It does seem fixed on that version 4.930, thanks! I have only just had a chance to try it as was working :). I had 4.928 before. Since 4.930 is unpacked I'm only allowing one to run at a time. and I exporting my settings from 4.928 to use with 4.930.

Here are my settings in case that helps. I have hand-edited the file to remove the personal data from "analyzer" and "watched":
improvedtube-settings-20240513-edit.json . NB: this may not be a valid settings file that you can import, but it's the best way I can think of to pass over my settings.

I do use other extensions, but I disabled anything which could affect youtube before logging the bug, to eliminate them from the equation.

I don't know why you don't get the same pop-ups icons for "watch later" / "add to queue". I remember having to set settings in the main YouTube Settings page a while ago to get them back. I think you must turn OFF "Video previews will play when you hover over thumbnails". Since that is incredibly annoying, I've always had that turned off.

But the way, there is an error being logged form the new version:

I hope you will be able to use this information to reproduce the bug in version 4.928 to learn what caused it (if that's useful). Thanks!

We can easily add option to turn those off. YT creates temporary player element with id="inline-preview-player" so our [Force Autoplay Off] function could stop those from playing.

yep, noticed that too couple days ago #2263 (comment)
