Descriptions are gone again about simple-youtube-age-restriction-bypass HOT 7 CLOSED

Tried everything, but cannot seem to repro. Do you have the full version of the logs or is this everything?

These are all the logs emitted by the userscript, yes. Do you also want the userscript errors and/or logs from the entire page ?

I tried disabling every other extension I have save for Tampermonkey, but the problem still persists.

I first want to rule out an issue with the userscript manager. Can you try it with Violentmonkey? (don't forget to disable Tampermonkey first)

If it works, then try disabling and reenabling Tampermonkey (there was a bug related to this sometime ago). If it still doesn't work then a full page log might be helpful. You could also try testing this on edge/chrome.

I can see descriptions again... no idea what changed. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your help

And now gone again...
Running the script with Violentmonkey on Firefox correctly unlocks the videos and their descriptions. Same when running it with Tampermonkey on Edge.

In the meantime, I just cobbled this quick-fix together to restore the description (it lacks the youtube pretty formatting that would require creating some YouTube custom HTML elements):

document.getElementById('snippet').innerHTML = ytInitialPlayerResponse.videoDetails.shortDescription;

It seems that shortDescription (which confusingly seems to be the entire description) is always sent even if the video is age-restricted and the description is not displayed.

I have no idea what the cause might be. Almost seems like a race condition.

About the description, I thought the description worked correctly? The shortDescription was actually a short description in the past, but it indeed seems to include everything now with the videos I've tested.

Sorry if I was not clear - I meant that the problem (no video description) reappeared with the combination Firefox + TamperMonkey; but is apparently neither due to Firefox nor TamperMonkey by themselves, since Firefox + ViolentMonkey works and Edge + TamperMonkey also works.

Hence why I have to fetch the shortDescription as a quick-fix (I want to keep using TamperMonkey and Firefox).
