A good hook for sure.

I think there might be an issue with selecting a video from the playlist if you have more than one though.

1. the playlist option doesn't appear until you've already started playing a video

2. when you then open the playlist and select a different video, only the audio plays, there is no visual.

Can you advise on this please as it's definitely a great addition to my site.

Thanks.

Also, the selection keys at the bottom of the viewer clash with the youtube logo, not sure it this is something that can be altered or not due to the width of the sidebar.

When using the selection keys to scroll through video list, as soon as you scroll to the next video in the list it automatically begins playing.

Excellent support, query posted 04/09/13, no reply as of 13/09/13.

Have now removed the hook!!

I can't do anything to change the playlist autoplay, it's just how the YT playlist API works.

For the 2nd thing, I'll fix that tomorrow.

1) That has to do with the size of the player.

If the player was normal sized, it would show up like normal.

2) I don't seem to have that problem. Are you sure that after you opened the playlist, you clicked the video you wanted, then closed the playlist?

Fixed the problem with the playlist button and the player buttons on the bottom.

I can confirm this mod now works excellently.

Many thanks to the author.

How do you change the default video which comes up please?
