YouTube Livestreams Theater Mode by NaPaliGhost

by R315r4z0r, 3 years agoThis is an amazing addon that anyone who watches streams on Youtube should have installed.
However, there are two (very minor) issues with the addon that I hope can be fixed in a future update.
1. There seems to be a hotkey (T) used to toggle the mode on and off. This hotkey remains active even when the video isn't focused. So if I try to write a comment in the comment section, pressing T toggles theater mode and makes it impossible to continue the comment.
2. Youtube did a recent facelift update and changed the data that is displayed near the video's title area. Now, if you turn theater mode on, this new data is stuck and overlayed over the video and doesn't go away.

posted 3 years agoThank you for the feedback and bug reports!
The two issues should be fixed with version 3.0.3 (amongst other bugs):
1. The hotkey to toggle livestreams theater mode will not trigger anymore when focus is on a text area or input field.
2. I still get the old version of the title area, but found the new one in the code, which is probably currently delivered to some users as part of an A/B-testing. This new version of the title area should now be supported too, assuming that you get the same one I found in the code.
