    The extension stops during a video. You must close the page and reload it again and go to the extension to make it on to this page. Please fix it
    This happens on youtube when i hear a song with lock screen on. I go to the extention it doesn't open and must reload the page again, go to the extention and enable it on again

    Thank you for the report. Can you please be more clear in order to be able to understand the issue and help you? What do you mean by saying "the extension stops" and that you have to "go to the extension to make it on to this page"?

    This extension has helped me for a long period, because i often use limited internet connection and deactvating videos helps saving bandwith.

    BUT, i recently migrated to firefox and i don't know why here this extension causes a bizarre bug that is when i play a song in a playlist, shows one music but plays the audio from the next music.
    I don't know why this is occuring, but is very frustrating, and only sometimes that this happens. I just use in youtube music this extension, but i have disabled it because of this error.
    (And sorry, i don't speak natively english, maybe have some misspell but i have to post this review to report this)

    Thank you for the report. I will test the extension and let you know. However, I think that this bug is impossible to happen. Can you please check if you have any other extensions that cause this issue? Οr check if you have enabled the extension's option "Show video thumbnail in video player"? If so, then maybe the thumbnail that you see is from the previous video but the audio is the correct one.

    I was concerned by comments about the extension not realIy blocking the video stream-- just hiding it. I opened Firefox's Task Manager while streaming a music video on youtube, to see if toggling Music Mode on and off affected memory & power usage. Enabling Music Mode didn't seem to reduce the CPU or Memory footprint while streaming. Too bad.

    If you just want to hide images, it's good. I use Music Mode in Chrome when I'm teaching. There are lots of options on what to hide & show.

    Thank you for the review! I am glad that you use the extension and it helps you.

    The extension does indeed fully block videos, reducing YouTube data usage. To verify, you can check the Firefox Web Developer Tools. Live videos are the only exception (as it is mentioned in the extension's description). The impact includes a decrease in CPU, memory, and a noticeable decrease in GPU usage (almost 0% usage), which directly affects power consumption. However, keep in mind that if you want lower CPU usage, you have to disable the "Always visible progress bar" option.

    Hope this clarifies. Have a great year!

    Can you please confirm that you use the latest version of the extension, your browser is up to date and there is no other extension that causes this malfunction?
  • by JJ, 2 years ago
    I love this extension! It's acutally the best option, if you'd like to use youtube but don't get distracted by all the thumbnails (so in the end you spend half the day on youtube).

    What do you think about adding a "hard mode" where you have to enter a pin oder solve a math problem to deactivate the music mode? That would be really cool.

    The extension works properly. Maybe there is something in your browser that prevents the extension from working. A first step is to try to deactivate all the other extensions and check if the issue still persists. I am looking forward to your feedback!

    Do you use any other extensions that may interfere with Music Mode for YouTube? Can you please try to deactivate any other extensions?

    Are you sure that you have checked the latest version of the extension that is available (version 0.0.9)? This error was in the version below 0.0.8. In the new version the issue has been fixed. Please check the latest version of the extension and change your review! If the issue with the error exists in version 0.0.9 as well, try to clear your history.

    In the latest version (0.0.9) the issue with the video blocking has been fixed. The extension now blocks the video and plays only the audio.

    Thank you for the review! In the next days I will publish a new version that will fix some minor issues that this version has.
