- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13331000, 5 years agoWorks fine with the bars appearing almost instantly. You do have to follow the instructions and jump through all those hoops needed to get a Youtube API key though, otherwise if you use the public "Invidious" key instead then only some of the thumbnails get the bar and only after waiting several seconds.
Pity this addon doesn't use that API key to add a tag to the thumbnails to tell you if they're available in HD or not, because that's the other thing that tells you if the videos are worth watching or not. - Rated 5 out of 5by pasi123567, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Robert Redmon, 5 years agoI have used this add-on for a long time. Despite having to follow additional steps, which are very easy, the add-on is a must for watching YouTube videos. I also give 5 stars for the communication of the developer knowing what has to happen for this to continue to work.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Saxayone, 5 years agoWorks fine with the new api fix things but it is still annoying that it places itself at the bottom of the thumbnail and moves the playback red bar to the top instead of just placing itself at the top.
Wish there was a setting to reverse them... - Rated 5 out of 5by Plosky, 5 years ago

posted 5 years agoThanks for reporting this. I just released an update to address the recent issues, but the extension now requires users to enter a personal YouTube Data API key. Instructions for setting up a free YouTube Data API key, and an explanation for why this is required, can be found here:

It's surprisingly important and in many cases better metric to measure video success. You could display it in the same info box with the the like ratio when you hover mouse over the like-dislike bar.

https://github.com/elliotwaite/thumbnail-rating-bar-for-youtube - Rated 5 out of 5by sixtie, 5 years agoOccasionally and unpredictably stops displaying the ratings bars (maybe a YouTube API quota issue per the 0.0.42 release notes?) but this add-on is otherwise very well designed and has no doubt saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of wasted clicks and page loads over the past year or two.

However, sometimes, for no apparent reason, it just stops working for a few hours. Unfortunate, but not necessarily within the developer's control.
