Tampermonkey script won't trigger unless page is reloaded (in Vivaldi) about youtube-fast-fullscreen-toggle HOT 9 CLOSED

Ah ha - and then the update column becomes clickable to update on demand! =)

Fixed in 2.5.0. The new version has been submitted to the Chrome Web Store for review; in the meantime, the latest version can be used in Tampermonkey.

Ooh, it looks like the update setting needs to be enabled per script:

@ZimbiX Oh wow, I had no idea ... how on earth could I have missed that option??? 😖

The way to manually trigger an update either by clicking the "last updated" text or by selecting a script and choosing Trigger Update from the dropdown is not exactly super-intuitive. I believe I tried the latter option (dropdown) but unless the script setting is enabled it will fail no matter.

Thanks a lot for finding this! 👍

Interesting. Thanks for the info; I'll look into it when I have time

It seems that YouTube doesn't do a regular page load when you navigate around the site; instead doing something similar to turbolinks, where it swaps out the page content. Thus the extension (and when run in Tampermonkey) does not re-run after navigating to another page. For example, starting from the watchlist page, then clicking on the first video. It does appear to still work when navigating from one video to another; I guess in that case, the DOM elements which had listeners attached when the extension first ran are reused.

I'm looking into something like's jQuery delegate - to dynamically handle an event based on a particular CSS selector, allowing it to apply to new DOM elements too.

Or alternatively, I could use window.onurlchange to listen for URL changes.

Awesome, thanks for the fix, I just tested and now it triggers on every video 👍
I didn't think of just changing the match to youtube.com/* but apparently there was other code changes needed too.

By the way would it be possible to add a header to make it auto-update when using a user-script directly from Git or would you have to upload to Greasyfork or similar? I mean the downloadURL should be enough right? Or maybe you have to add a updateURL header too.

No problem. I'd noticed something weird was happening sometimes; thanks for the motivation to look into it!

I haven't made use of userscript auto-updating before. I didn't see much useful official documentation, but I followed this great StackOverlow answer. As far as I can tell, it should work, but I haven't yet observed Tampermonkey performing an update. I notice that Tampermonkey's settings page has two different update interval settings - I'm not sure which would apply here, but the options are not very granular:

I think I'd prefer not to upload it to a site like Greasyfork if I don't have to, as it's another thing I'd have to maintain. I don't know that user discovery would benefit that much from it.

I mostly use it in the extension form myself, to reflect the experience of how I imagine most people will be using it. I'll try switching to Tampermonkey and decreasing the version number to try to see it perform an update.
