This might explain why VLC gave me an error when I pasted a Youtube URL into its open network stream dialog. I swear it worked before.

Also, "Like" and "Dislike"? What ever happened to the good old star system?

Edit: youtube-dl, the Python script I usually use to download Youtube videos, seems to still work though.

That'll be fixed shortly, I'm sure.


With any luck, actually, there'll soon be a Firefox add-on to rearrange it back to the old layout.


I haven't tested enough to tell, but I bet with all this "upgrading" () they didn't even fix the player. For me it occasionally had an issue where the video wouldn't play properly. You'd just get that loading animation the whole time, with no sound, and the video often would play at 10x speed. Or the video wouldn't play at all, but seeking around a bit tended to fix that.


Then it went from "occasionally" to every third video. Then it would start doing that shit after playing 80% of the video. That basically ruined it entirely. (Flash freezing the browser all the fucking time doesn't help either.)


Man I can't wait for HTML5 video to actually be standardized and implemented and SVG to not be SO FUCKING SLOW to render and have its stupid script issues sorted, so we can finally dump Flash.

It freezes my Opera browser and loads poorly.

It's a randomly rearranged piece of trash.

The people who made it are an insult to programmers and the marketers who did it obviously hate their users.

They just did it because they could, plain and simple; no thought in, no thought out. Some people may like the layout, and over time people will forget it, but that will never stop it from being an eyesore to me.

I absolutely hate the new layout for various reasons everyone's said. And I'm sad that they've broke Feather, too.

...Is there a greasemonkey script yet? Is there greasemonkey for Chrome anyways?

It needs borders around stuff, the related videos should scroll so that the video you're watching doesn't have to leave the screen, also they should order comments in a less confusing fashion, other than that it mostly looks fine. Also I like the thumbs up/down thing

Finally I get a chance to look at the new new YouTube layout.

Looks the same so far.....

Oh now I see what's different....

Looks like they got rid of the star ratings.

Yea, I have no problems with it so far.

These are the only issues I've even slightly noticed. I barely ever read comments, though, so I'm not losing out much.

I like the new layout. I preferred the old one slightly, but I have to agree with Drag's post here (and almost posted something similar myself, but didn't have the guts to do it).

If thats the only difference for you, then you're still on a hybrid of the old and new styles. They're really rolling them out haphazardly.

The YouTube layout is, yes, pretty bad, but for the most part I can still watch videos without tearing my hair out, but the one thing that really makes me rage the most on the home page is that, unlike Recommended Videos, I can't take Subscription videos out of the list by clicking the x, I have to go to the video page to get it off!

Oh, hey. The old layout is back for me, for some reason. I don't know why, but I hope it's not just teasing me.

Not for me, at least. Might be a browser difference or something.

Also, not only does the new layout suck, but for some reason I could no longer view videos once they made it, unless I opened it a certain way.

oh you mean that one where everyone rated it either a 1 or a 5 anyway?

This rating system is 10x better than the star system as it stores a completely different list in your profile for videos you liked and your favorites. If you like a video it will be added to the "like" list but not your favorites unless you save it to your favorites as well, which is a welcome addition

also lol the hate is unbelievable here. it looks fine to me

Back when I actually logged in to my YouTube account, I pretty much only ever rated videos 5 stars.

Reminds me of the days of Yahoo! LAUNCHcast (wait, are they still around?) when they switched from a 100-point scale to a 4-star scale. For some reason, with the 100 points I rarely gave songs less than 20 (unless I banned the song) or more than 80, approximately.

The video player itself is where I have my hate. The '2nd revision' or whichever we had last took up enough of my computer's CPU. Now I catch it jumping from 10-20% overall all the way up to 80%? That's bull and the only thing I can actively dislike.

Like and Dislike? Meh, I rarely rate things anyways.

Comments should be cleaner than currently, invisible buttons aren't that helpful.

...really, not much to complain about besides heightened CPU requirements.

Isn't that how it always worked? Rating 5 stars didn't add to your favourites, but there was a feed in your profile listing your recent ratings.

I usually didn't bother rating at all (if anything, I'd leave a comment explaining what I did/didn't like), but when I did, it wasn't uncommon for me to rate 2, 3 or 4. I guess most people only rate 1 or 5 though.

As for the player, I'll be happy with it if they just fix the sound/speed bug I mentioned above. They haven't fixed sound sync, but I'm not sure they even can.

Only goons vote things in 1-5 intervals. The rest? Either it sucks or it melts your face off

The new layout sucks, but the rating system change is reasonable. Who cares about decimal point averages out of 5 with Youtube videos?

They don't. I have seen rated threads being something like 4.75 or 1.25 hover your mouse over threads sometime.

I don't know if any of you guys found this, but here's a place you can tell them how you feel about the new layout. I've already spoken my mind, I suggest everyone here who hasn't do the same.

No idea if Google will listen to us, but it doesn't hurt to try.
